Hoss states:
““Actually, she is the mother of Jesus. God is eternal and without beginning. He can have no mother.”
“I don’t believe in any disunion between the natures. God is almighty”
But Mary is not the mother of God according to you.
Got it.

Try syllogism; you’re missing a step. Really.
John Duncan:
“In 1 John 4:1–6, John encourages his readers to learn to “test the spirits,” that is, to discern from among these competing views by examining what they teach about the person of Christ. He says in verse 2 that all who confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh and is from God are in agreement with the Spirit of God. Those, however, who oppose the Spirit of God by denying that Christ came in the flesh are antichrist.
What is the biblical answer to the controversial question: Who is Jesus? In John 8:58 Christ says, “Before Abraham was, I am.” Colossians 1:15–20 says He is the “image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation … by Him all things were created in heaven and on earth … in Him all things hold together.” Paul says in Phillipians 2:6 that Christ was the “very nature” and form of God. Hebrews 1:1–3 says that “the Son was the exact representation of God’s being.” Titus 2:13 refers to Him as “our God and Savior, Jesus Christ.” Jesus is God in the flesh, the only Savior of mankind, sent to redeem the souls of the lost, with the authority of God Himself, being God Himself.”
Was God almighty born of woman before time began? God is eternal.

Mary isn’t the mother of God. That would make her a god as well.
Since Mary was a human, she could not have birthed God.
“But Mary is not the mother of God according to you.”
Uh, not just me. Where in Scripture is she described as the mother of God Almighty?
The RCC calls her “Mother of God” — the Bible doesn’t.
And please don’t follow narses’ path by taking this to a personal level (re: college logic 101, etc. Leave the ad hominem behind, okay?
