"God has no 'mother'"

Actually in one sense you are wrong. God is 3 persons and Jesus is one of those persons, and Marry is Jesus's mother. Hence it is accurate to call Marry the Mother of God. I am not a Catholic following person, and I have my problems with certain catholic ideas such as praying to Marry. But I have no problem with the statement that Marry is the mother of God. Since she is the mother of Jesus who is one person of the trinity.

Jesus' humanity has a mother, however His diety existed as God's Son from all eternity, and indeed is Mary's Creator, Savior and Mediator. The term Mother of God (Theotokis) comes from battling Gnostic heriesies before 500 AD which claimed Jesus humanity wasn't real... I'm not a Romanist but I know that official Roman doctrine understands that Mary was God's mother only in the sense of His humanity, when God took on human flesh.

I still would like to hear a biblical argument as to how dead people in heaven could possibly hear our prayers...and why we'd want them to mediate in the first place, when we can go directly to Christ himself!
