“What part of that do you not understand. Was John lying? Was Mary not Jesus’ Mother? Or is the Bible in error? Or is Jesus not God?”
Mary was his earthly mother.
That doesn’t not mean she created God.
She bore God. She didn’t create God through conception. Jesus existed as God from all eternity.

“Jesus existed as God from all eternity.”
Well, technically, the Second Person of the Trinity existed from all eternity. Jesus (the God-man) did not exist until He was conceived in Mary’s womb.
“The verse you quote does not give Mary the title Mother of God. That is a human addition to what God said.”
But when Elizabeth calls Mary the mother of her Lord it means exactly the same thing as mother of God. There was only one Lord.
