Butter is yellow
The Sun is yellow
The Sun is made of butter.

Your conclusion fails due to non sequitor - all things yellow are not made of butter.

Where is the error in the logic of: Mary is the mother of Jesus. Jesus is God. Mary is the mother of God.

Can I give this a lash, as one who also does not understand the Catholic position?

1) By definition, the mother must precede the child.

2) God has existed for all eternity.

Therefore Mary does not completely fit the definition of “mother” with respect to God.

Actually you prove my point.

GOD has no mother; he is eternal.

Show me the flaw in that logic.

Only fail is your non-sequitor.
