Mary was the mother of Jesus. Christians believe Jesus is God. Hence, orthodox Christians have always believed Mary is the mother of God. To say otherwise is to say Jesus is not God.

If Mary is indeed God's mother, then she is also the mother of God, the Father, and of God, the Holy Spirit.

Unless they are not God, too.

If referred to ontologically, versus "according to the flesh" as in the case of Israel providing Christ, (Rm. 9:5) a distinction which Catholics do not make in the same breath when exalting their own (unscriptural) Mary as a demigoddess, and which would mean that Jesus was the father of His mother.

“If Mary is indeed God’s mother, then she is also the mother of God, the Father, and of God, the Holy Spirit. Unless they are not God, too.”

Illogical. A mother can only be mother to a son not to a father of the son. You have children. Did you give birth to them or to their father?

Seriously, is every anti-Catholic here a government school drop out with no ability to reason whatsoever?
