As a man, he had a mother. As God, he could have no mother because a mother would pre-suppose a beginning.

My argument is sound. You chose the Nestorian option, the one that makes Mary only the mother of a nature, not the mother of a person.

You would like to say thus. You are incorrect. Jesus was a person who was 100% human and 100% divine. You are trying to make a nice tidy package that everyone can understand out of Jesus's divinity/humanity. Jesus was a person. He was 100% man and 100% God. Mary gave birth to a person, but only contributed to his manhood - not His Godhood. The incarnation is a mystery and though you just LOVE throwing out the heresy accusation (ignorring what was explicitly explained by the person you are speaking to); you allow no room for the unexplainable or mysterious. Nobody has denied Christ of anything. We will not bow to your elevated Mary, however, for she is not the Mary of Scripture.
