"Do I understand you correctly that that mother of god does not mean mother of god ?"

No, you do not. (Surely you just wrote that to raise a wry smile--- or an eyebrow.)

"Mother of God" does not mean that Mary "created the Creator." It does mean she gave birth to Jesus Christ our God.

" I'm sure there are some catholics who do believe it to be a true statement. There are some on this board that believe it to be a true statement."

No sure what "statement" you mean. Do you mean there are FReepers who say A "mother of god does not mean mother of god ?"

Or do you mean there are FReepers who say B "Mother of God" does not mean that Mary 'created the Creator'."

If you can cite me any FReepers who accept A or reject B, give me a link to their erroneous statement and I will fraternally (or sororially) correct them.

Many FReeper non-Catholics think they are refuting Catholic doctrines, when they are only refuting things that are NOT Catholic doctrines: i.e., something they've misunderstood. The devil is the father of confusion: therefore they should be sure they have an accurate understanding of Catholic doctrine before they go flashmobbing into a Catholic thread, thus spreading confusion which is very pleasing to the devil..

Thus the term *mother of Jesus* conveys that thought far more precisely, which seems very likely that that is the reason the Holy Spirit used it instead of the term *mother of God* which could too easily lead into incorrect doctrine and theology and worship of someone besides God Himself.
