The words “Trinity” and “Incarnation” are also nowhere to be found in Scripture, but does that make them any less true?
"Mother of God” is a truth that flows naturally and logically from an understanding of Who Jesus is. When we apply the term to Mary, it's actually all about Christ. It points us unmistakably towards His Divinity, and slams the door shut on the several heresies about Him that were raging at the time.
Read up on the Council of Ephesus and “Theotokos” to get a beautiful explanation of these holy truths about the Lord Jesus.

True — but there IS more than enough scriptural evidence to support those terms.
BIG difference.

The term *mother of God* is about Mary, the mother, not recognizing the divinity of Christ, since Mary is the subject.
