Either Mary is the Mother of God or else she isn't. Either the Gospels are correct or else they are not.

No, either you are correct or you're not...And you are not correct...Mary was never called the Mother of God in the Gospels or any other place in the scriptures...

Luke 1:43 --> Elizabeth greets Mary as the "mother of my Lord".

If you deny that Christ was God, then you can state that it's ok to just call her mother of Christ, but since you say Christ is God, Mary was the Christ-bearer, she bore Christ in her womb.

I suppose that the entire first chapter of Luke doesn't count. Elizabeth calls Mary explicitly the mother of her Lord. Kyrios. More?

Matthew 2: 10 They were overjoyed at seeing the star, 11 5 and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother. They prostrated themselves and did him homage. Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. 12 And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their country by another way. 13 6 When they had departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Rise, take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt, 7 and stay there until I tell you. Herod is going to search for the child to destroy him." 14 Joseph rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed for Egypt.

Mary is the mother of Jesus.
