rwa Mary is the mother of Jesus, who is the second person of the trinity. So how can Mary not also be the mother of God in the second person of the trinity.

metmom: She is mother of Jesus, who is the Second person of the Trinity INCARNATED. She did not pre-exist Him to give Him His existence.

Because she did not give him His deity.

Neither did you, metmom, bestow existence on your childre. You bore them, but God created them

The mother bears a child, carries the child through 9 months and births the child. The mother does not create the child, nor bestow the soul on the child

Mary bore Jesus Christ -- who is and was 100% man and 100% God, both natures utterly intertwined, not separate. She bore this man-god. She bore her creator.

The term “Mother of God came into being to answer the Nestorius heresy ... Obviously she is not the mother of God.. but of the 2nd person in the trinity made man

This statement clearly proves a number of things...

You don't understand the Trinity...
This teaching makes a goddess out of Mary...
This teaching makes a demi-god out of Jesus...
This teaching is false doctrine...
This teaching makes a liar out of the God of the scriptures...
Any one teaching this is not qualified to discuss the scriptures...And that's just the short list...

Your example breaks down because Metmom gave birth to children that DID NOT EXIST before they were conceived in her womb. Jesus, the Son of God, preexisted His incarnation from eternity. Mary gave birth to the INCARNATE Son of God, God with us - His taking on human flesh. Calling her the "Mother" of God implies she preexisted Him just as Metmom preexisted her children. When you have to add all these disclaimers and clarifications to a term, you nullify the benefit of the adoption of the term.
