The whole problem with "titles" for Mary is that none of them are scriptural. She was the blessed virgin who gave birth to Jesus Christ. When you start giving her "titles" you start making implications about her which simply are not true.
Biblically she is "Mary the Mother of Jesus". That should be sufficient. However it seems that anyone who so states is considered a heretic or somehow considered to be denying the divinity of Christ. What a crock. These people will turn over any rock in their hunt for heretics.
This is true.
And many of these titles are out and out heretical themselves. Such is the irony.
There is no place in the bible where Mary is given the title "Mother of God." Mary is, however, called the "Mother of Jesus."

I'm even willing to assume the best about them and that that's what they mean.
It's the willy-nilly lack of graciousness on the part of some who are all to quick to throw out heresy charges against those who do use a biblical expression: "Mary the Mother of Jesus

- Mr 6:3 - Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him.
