So are you saying that Jesus is not God? The Second Person of the Trinity?

mm:*Mother of God* does not say or mean the same thing as *Mother of Jesus*.

OK. Let's follow Catholic reasoning.

Did Mary give birth to Jesus?

If Jesus = God, then if Mary gave birth to Jesus, she gave birth to God.

That makes Him the created being and makes Mary the creator of God.

Do you see where the error in the name leads to heresy itself?

Can you not see that instead of correcting someone's view of Jesus, it creates new errors in many more ways?

Now you all have a God who is a created being, a woman who is the creator, who gave birth to God.

Instead of renaming Mary to correct error about who Jesus is, which doesn't do the job, the better way would have been to just to go right back to Scripture (which seems to be anathema to Catholics). Read Matthew 1:23 and John 1:1 and the issue is settled.

How simple is that? Way simpler and more effective than setting up a whole new batch of errors.
