God does not have a mother. God is eternal. Mary bore Jesus, and therefore is the mother of Jesus. This in NO way gives her any "motherhood" over anyone other than Jesus and his siblings.

The Roman Catholic Church may see Mary as more than what Scripture tells us; that's the fault of Catholicism and a blasphemy.

As for CCC 841, it DOES have to do with this issue...do you agree or not agree with CCC 841? The question goes to determine which 'God' is being discussed: since the CCC teaches that Catholics and Muslims worship the same "merciful God" are we talking about God or Allah?

Blasphemy. Yes. Definitely. But I fear you are wasting your time. The indoctrination of RC members is astounding, and it’s difficult for logic to break through that. As long as they discount the Bible as Final Authority, it is hopeless unless and until the Holy Spirit convicts.

This is where you got things wrong about Catholic teaching. Clearly she is the Mother of God. The Motherhood of Mary does not mean she is the author of God. If we can say she is the mother of Jesus we can say that she is the Mother of God in the same way I can say God died on the cross for our sins. The teachings necessarily imply each other.

Your other issues are completely irrelevant to the question. Stop trying to invent them so. Its a poor excuse to dodge the real truth. You believe that Jesus is God, therefore you have to believe that Mary is the Mother of God.
