*****The Holy Spirit calls her *the mother of JESUS.*****

Nowhere in Scripture is Jesus called God. Through many passages we come to understand that He is indeed God, but nowhere does Scripture call Jesus, God.

The Pharisees certainly understood His claims about Himself. THEY understood it.

Jesus claimed it Himself.

John 8:58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”

>>Nowhere in Scripture is Jesus called God.<<

Looks to me like the Jews of Jesus day would disagree with you. When Jesus said this.

John 10:30 I and the Father are one.”

Scripture plainly shows us what was meant when it recorded the Jewish response.

John 10:33 The Jews answered him, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.”

Looks to me like Jesus did indeed call Himself God.

He also said He was God here:

John 8:58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”

Now what did God call Himself?

Exodus 3:14…Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

Once again.

Acts 20:28 Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.

Who shed His blood? And still you claim that “Nowhere in Scripture is Jesus called God”?

And more:

Hebrews 1:8 But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.

Still want to tell us that “Nowhere in Scripture is Jesus called God”?

What would you call these:

John 1:1-3
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Colossians 2:8-9
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

John 20:28
And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

Hebrews 1:8
But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

Titus 2:13
Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.

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

That's only a few, there ARE more and as you said all the many verses that speak about Jesus being the incarnate Almighty God, second person of the Trinity and Son of God - which, since we know there is ONLY one God, Jesus IS God in the flesh.
