“Mary is the mother of “God with us.” “

You will believe whatever your church teaches you, apparently. Your call.

We will disagree. God never calls Mary the mother of God. He never makes her into a demigodess - positioned between people and God. He never gives her special powers.

If it was true, He would have included it in His Word. He did not.

I certainly wish you the best. I just disagree with your private interpretation of Scripture to read into it your pre-existing belief.

Best.

Isaiah prophesied the virgin of Israel would bear a son called Immanuel
Jesus was born to Mary
Mary is the virgin of Israel who bore a son named Emmanuel
Immanuel and Emmanuel are equivalent and a form of two Hebrew words that mean "God with us."
Jesus is Immanuel/Emmanuel
The book of Matthew specifically interprets the birth and name of Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy by Mary bearing the son whose name means "God with us"

God never calls Mary the mother of God.

I'll stick with agreeing with the Holy Spirit in what He inspired in Scripture: *Mary, the mother of Jesus*.

That way, I KNOW I can't be wrong.

The Holy Spirit is clear in Scripture in calling Mary *the mother of Jesus*.

John 2:1 On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

John 2:3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”

Acts 1:14 All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
