That’s just baloney and poor exegesis. Using your tools Mary is not the mother of Jesus because Eve is the “mother” of us all, Jerusalem is the “mother” of us all, Babylon is the “mother” of harlots, and Mary is the “mother” of John.

Jesus is not the “son” of Mary because He is the “son” of Joseph and we know that isn’t so. John is also the “son” of Mary so we can’t be sure if the writers are just using “son” metaphorically.

John is not the “brother” of James and Peter is not the “brother” of Andrew because we know that “brother” is used universally to mean friends and near relatives.

Father of course can mean many things like “father” of lights, we aren’t to call any man “father” here, there’s our “father David”, “father” Abraham, “father” Jacob, “father” Isaac, your “father” the Devil, “father” of many nations.

Based on your logic we can’t be sure of any relationships in the scripture since they are used for blood relatives, close relatives, far relatives, close associates, and concepts.

So please explain, based on your exegesis, how you arrived at Mary being the genealogical mother of Jesus?

I'm sorry, I'd respond but none of your words make any sense because they all have double meanings in the dictionary.
