To use any other term denies one of the following: NO WAY. Another !!!!CONTROL!!!! PHREAQUE Roman Catholic et al compulsion rears its head yet again.
READ MY FINGERS:
MANY Prottys find Mother of God misleading, insulting to God, offensive, blasphemous.
YES, WE KNOW all about Jesus being God. That STRAW DOG is NOT THE ISSUE. SHEESH!
WHENEVER anyone uses Mother of God many of us Prottys will feel grieved in our spirits. We will grieve for the cheeky affrontery to God Almighty. We grieve for the idolatrous blasphemous use of Mary. We feel angst, outrage, insult and all that for WHAT WE SEE AS evil reasons.
We realize that Roman Catholics et al disagree. Thats your right. However, you dont have the right nor the power to deny us our perceptions nor to deny us our spiritual experience of such matters.
Would it help you understand how offensive it is to some of us if I used Idolatrous Bead Flingers every time I wanted to refer to Roman Catholics et al? I dont think even that would give you much more than a hint of a clue.

( I would not believe in the Gospel if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so.)

To use any other term beyond Theotokos denies one of the following:
1. Christ was God,
2. Christ was a man,
3. Christ was both, completely, utterly and at the same time.
YES, WE KNOW all about Jesus being God. -- that's good, we all agree that Jesus was wholly God and wholly Man -- do you agree with the latter part, that Jesus was WHOLLY MAN??
And you agree that he was born of Mary, who gave birth to Him, Him who was God and Man, and since she gave birth to Him (but didn't create Him, any more than your mother created your soul and spirit), she is His Mother.
