Of course He's God, but with the same license one can assume Mary is the mother of God, one may assume she never considered herself as such, nor was it ever implied TO her that that is what she is/was.

Men bestowed that title upon her ... the same caliber of men that dubbed her the Queen of Heaven ... an obvious association to the pagan Ishtar.

"one may assume"? You know this, how?

Elizabeth addressed her as "Mother of my Lord". Sounds a lot like "Mother of God" to me.

Really? So when pagans apply a title to one of their "gods," any subsequent use of that title by Christians is somehow "pagan" ... by "obvious association"?

The Greeks called Zeus "heavenly father". Guess calling God "heavenly father" is "an obvious association to the pagan Zeus," by the same logic you're applying.

Men bestowed that title upon her ... the same caliber of men that dubbed her the Queen of Heaven ... an obvious association to the pagan Ishtar.

Which is about as logical as associating it to this "Ishtar".
