I have no argument with how you stated your case. All Christians agree that Jesus is the Son of God. Would it not be more accurate to say that Mary is the Mother of the Son of God?

Still at it, street lawyer? I thought this argument had come down in favor of Billy Boy's position days ago. The Trinity and all that, Co-Equal and Eternal God, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost, Three Persons but only One Nature (Divine)...

It seems you have God "giving rise" to a Son as in generationally speaking. That again is Arianism.

Arian beliefs
"Such is the genuine doctrine of Arius. Using Greek terms, it denies that the Son is of one essence, nature, or substance with God; He is not consubstantial (homoousios) with the Father, and therefore not like Him, or equal in dignity, or co-eternal, or within the real sphere of Deity. The Logos which St. John exalts is an attribute, Reason, belonging to the Divine nature, not a person distinct from another, and therefore is a Son merely in figure of speech. These consequences follow upon the principle which Arius maintains in his letter to Eusebius of Nicomedia, that the Son "is no part of the Ingenerate." Hence the Arian sectaries who reasoned logically were styled Anomoeans: they said that the Son was "unlike" the Father..."
