Mary is the mother of Jesus. God is without beginning or end. Before we go on, you need to agree that God is without beginning or end and is not created and cannot have a mother; otherwise, He is not God.

The fact of God's eternal nature. The fact of his divinity and Godhood is not incompatible with the motherhood of Mary. It has nothing to do with the Motherhood of Mary. Since Motherhood does not entail authorship.

Why is a misshapen understanding of motherhood ruling your objection to this important Title of Mary?

If Jesus is God and Mary is the mother of Jesus she is the Mother of God. Its not that hard a concept. You've admitted Jesus to be God. At no point is he ever not God. John speaks clearly The word became Flesh--Jn 1:14

Jesus' incarnation inherently implies that Mary is the mother of God. This does not imply her authorship of his divinity. No mother is the sole author of her children. Its simply a basic concept, that in any conception of a child a mother does not conceive alone. Why is this so hard a concept? If Mary was the handmaiden of Christ's humanity she therefore is the mother of God.

Do you believe CCC 841 is correct? Do you believe Catholics and Muslims worship the same 'God

Why are you changing the subject? Please keep to the motherhood of Mary. Other things can be talked about, but I"m not skipping out on something which is extremely important. No human being save Jesus himself who Mary was mother to did so much for humanity. That is because Jesus who is God, is that important.
