Mary is the Mother of God. Simply proven:

1. Christ is God, of one substance with the Father, true God from True God, begotten not made, of one being with the FAther, through whom all things were made.
2. Christ is also man made incarnate
3. Christ is 100% and 100% man
Do you agree with these 3 points?

4. Christ was born on this earth to Mary,
Do you agree with THAT?

If yes, then Mary was the Mother of Christ and since there is no separation between Christ - MAN and Christ - GOD, Mary was the Mother of God.

This glorifies God because it points out that Christ was purely Man and purely God.

Do you deny any of these points

I’m reminded of the mathematical proof that 2 + 2 = 5.

I deny the absurdity of Mary the lesser bringing glory to God the greater by her innate wonderfulness or any other quality of her being what she simply was, Jesus’ earthly mother.

I deny the cheeky label of MOTHER OF GOD to a mere mortal.

I realize all manner of mythology has been concocted by the Vatican that turns mortal Mary into far more than a mere mortal in Vatican associates’ eyes. Not in mine. Nor in Mary’s, actually, according to reports of some Heavenly visitors.

All kinds of things can be rationalized. Doesn’t make them fitting nor right.

"Mary is the Mother of God. Simply proven:"

False. Mary was the mother of Jesus. Jesus is God's Son. Jesus chose to be a servant, instead of equal to God....

Phillipians 2:4-11 - Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

11.And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Separate....Jesus is Lord, God is the Father.

However, I do agree with your point that anyone who believes in the trinity CANNOT deny Mary is the mother of God....if Jesus and God the Father are actually one.
