Why don’t you believe Scripture, which says that Mary is the mother of Jesus, who is God?

Jesus didn't even acknowledge Mary as his mother...You are not telling the truth...Scripture does not say that Mary is the mother of Jesus, who is God...

False premises, false conclusions. I will make bold to highlight the passages in context. Mary/Miriam is the mother of Jesus/Yeshua, and He is Immanuel which the Spirit of God translates as "God with us." Therefore, Mary is the mother of "God with us" and Jesus, in unity with the Holy Spirit did, and does, acknowledge Mary as His mother. Unbelievers deny the scripture because they cannot, or choose not to, believe the scripture.

Moreover the Lord spake again unto Ahaz, saying, Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the Lord. And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also? Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.
-Isaiah catholic chapter seven, Protestant verses ten to sixteen as authorized by King James

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. -Matthew, catholic chapter one, Protestant verses eighteen to twenty three, as authorized by King James
