“Scripture calls Mary the mother of Jesus.

God is eternal. God dos not have a mother.”

Therefore Jesus is neither eternal nor God.

If Mary birthed God, where did Mary come from and how did she get pregnant?

It is not that technicality it might not be allowed in a strict context (Jesus is God, Mary is His mother), but what it otherwise conveys (God had a mother) and what it is part of and the manner in which the Holy Spirit describes her (the mother of Jesus) . As i point out here

In a rare instance of a mild form of reproof of excessive Marian exaltation, no less a devotee of Mary than Cardinal Ratzinger at least recognized that the title “Co-redemptrix ” “departs to too great an extent from the language of Scripture and of the Fathers and therefore gives rise to misunderstandings” (see comments on Co-redemptrix below), Yet as regards Scripture, this is also true of other aspects of Catholic exaltation of Mary, which depart too greatly from the sober and balanced descriptions given of Mary in Scripture, showing how she was a holy saint and a virgin, but not going beyond into the extremes of Catholic devotion, in which the Roman Catholic apologists add to their transgressions in their attempts to find support from Scripture by many unwarranted extrapolations, which the list below examples.
