“So, Catholicism teaches that God has a a mother.”

Because Jesus is God.

“Therefore, Mary is deity and God is a finite being.”

Nope. No more than being the mother of a man makes a woman a man like her son.

In Scripture, the Holy Spirit calls her *mother of Jesus*.

John 2:1 On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.

John 2:3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”

Acts 1:14 All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.

Scripture is clear in calling Mary *the mother of Jesus*.

Or did the Holy Spirit blow it?

So tell me. If the term *mother of God* would ensure that people would understand who Jesus was, then why didn't the Holy Spirit use it?

Sounds like Oneness theology to me.
