Is Jesus not God in your view? Or was Mary not His mother?

Why are you questioning the Deity of Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God? Is Jesus' Deity based on His mother or Father?

Is Jesus' Deity based on His mother or Father?

Completely irrelevant to His birth, incarnation, His mother. If you had "your father's eyes," it would not mean your mother is therefore not your mother.

If you wish to split the person of Jesus in two, you are following in the footsteps of the heresy of Nestorius.

Why are you questioning the Deity of Jesus

Of course I'm not, the question was to you, because the logic of your argument calls into question whether you doubt it. The problem is evident in a simple syllogism:

Jesus is God.
Mary is the mother of Jesus.
Therefore Mary is the mother of God.

If you deny the conclusion, then you have to deny either the major or minor premise. If you do not deny that Mary was His mother, then it can only follow that you deny his divinity.
