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.

Is she the mother of God the Father? Is she the mother of God the Spirit?

If she is the mother of God, then, by your logic, she must also be the mother of the Father and the Holy Spirit because they are also God....

But, as we know, she did NOT bear the Father or the Spirit, although they too are God. She bore Jesus. And yes, Jesus is God, but Mary cannot bear God. She bore Jesus, the human form taken by God the Son.

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.

No, I do not have to admit this, because to admit it is to admit to error. My question is essential: do you believe that Catholics and Muslims worship the same 'merciful God' or not? It is a simple matter. If you agree with Rome, then all of your arguments are moot and founded on heresy. If you disagree with Rome, then you are affirming that there is error in Rome's teaching. And if there is error in the CCC, then the teaching about Mary in the CCC can also be in error -- which means you could be in error as well.

Are you in agreement with Rome, or not concerning CCC 841? It's a simple yes or no question... why do you refuse to answer it?

She does not have to be mother of the other persons of the trinity to be the mother of God. This is essential to what it means to say one God in three distinct persons. The Son can be sent to be born to Mary (Gal 3:4).

Since Jesus is God that necessarily means that Mary is the Mother of God.

but Mary cannot bear God. She bore Jesus, the human form taken by God the Son.

Jesus humanity and divinity are unseparated and unmixed They are one reality in One distinct person of the Holy Trinity. You've got to grasp the distinctions here.Its not illogical it is entirely what actually happened.

The rest of your questions are not worth bothering an answer too since you still haven't understood Christianity at all yet. You've got questions making errors about the Holy Trinity, and errors about the person of Jesus. Why should we bother jumping into another long discussion until we have solved this most essential truth about Jesus and the Trinity and Mary the Blessed Mother of God? No. Its not worth it to get distracted.
