The Bible, ERGO, rightly calls Mary the "mother of Jesus", but NEVER the Mother of God.

Jesus is God, genius.

"And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?"Luke 1:43

"Behold a virgin shall be with child, and bring forth a son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." Matthew 1:23

"Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call His name Jesus. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the most High; and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of David His father; and He shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever." Luke 1:31-32

"And the angel answering, said to her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God." Luke 1:35

"But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent his Son, made of a woman, made under the law:" Galatians 4:4

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." John 1:1

"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we saw His glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." John 1:14

"I and the Father are one." John 10:30

"And he that seeth Me, seeth Him that sent Me." John 12:45

"Jesus saith to him: Have I been so long a time with you; and have you not known Me? Philip, he that seeth Me seeth the Father also. How sayest thou, Shew us the Father?" John 14:9

"Thomas answered, and said to Him: My Lord, and my God." John 20:28

"For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead corporeally;" Colossians 2:9

"Looking for the blessed hope and coming of the glory of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ," Titus 2:13

Only RC Tradition establishes THAT title.

Hardly.

"In this work whereby she was made the Mother of God, so many and such good things were given her that no one can grasp them .... Not only was Mary the mother of Him who is born [in Bethlehem], but of Him who, before the world, was eternally born of the Father, from a Mother in time and at the same time man and God." Martin Luther

"It cannot be denied that God in choosing and destining Mary to be the Mother of His Son, granted her the highest honor .... Elizabeth calls Mary Mother of the Lord, because the unity of the person in the two natures of Christ was such that she could have said that the mortal man engendered in the womb of Mary was at the same time the eternal God." John Calvin

"It was given to her what belongs to no creature, that in the flesh she should bring forth the Son of God." Ulrich Zwingli

Ignore them in favor of God's Word.

Sounds like your comprehension of Scripture is quite lacking which isn't unusual since you have obviously never read much of it.

Looks like you're trying to PROVE your point by quoting NOT from the Bible, genius. I asked for Scripture for proof, and ONCE AGAIN, man's OPINION is given instead.

You know, the kind of OPINION that grows and is fed with more of man's OPINION over the years, that someone as obviously genius as the Roman Catholic Church come to believe the most astounding genius doctrines. Like Mary is Queen of the Universe, that Mary is Co-Redeemer with Christ, like Mary is, at this very moment, standing beside Christ as He sits on the right hand of God. That Mary was Immaculately conceived and bodily Assumed into Heaven. That prayers to her expected, as she is the mediator, along with Christ, with God the Father.

Especially genius are those "apparitions", "visions" and "miracles" of Mary. Where people will crawl until their knees bleed to touch a potato that the "Virgin Mary" appeared on. Yes, very genius group of people who have gathered together for the last 2,000 years, waiting, waiting, to be told what "God said" to their leaders. Of course, none of them are actually looking at God's WORD to "see if those things are so". No, they just suck it up, because IF they "believe" their leaders are God's geniuses, then they get a wafer and a sip of wine.

Once again, show me in Scripture where Mary is referred to as the Mother of God.
