But I'm agreeing with you on Mary being the Mother of God,and the implication being that if she had siblings, they were His uncles and aunts, and so forth; and her parents being His grand parents, and her ancestors being His ancestors: it's all there in the genealogies!

She gave birth to Jesus, our God. Birth mother, you know? Also genetic mother, lactational mother, social/caregiving mother, and all that. But she did not create Him. Exactly the reverse: He created her, and all things.

I'm not seeing how you could disagree with that.

“I’m not seeing how you could disagree with that.”

I only disagree with giving Mary, that faithful woman, a title that God Himself never gives her. He Himself praises her in many ways, but that is not something He ever says or inspires in His Word.

Because the Holy Spirit calls her mother of Jesus.
