If you read my post, you would see that no one says she contributed to His godhood. However the fact is that she bore a 100% god and 100% man.

Naming Mary *mother of God* does.

Was the Holy Spirit wrong in how HE inspired Scripture? HE named her *mother of Jesus*. Are Catholics now going to accuse the Holy Spirit of heresy because He didn't name Mary like they think He ought to have?

The argument that *Mary is the mother of Jesus and Jesus is God therefore Mary is the mother of God*, leads to the following conclusions using the same (for lack of a better term) *logic*:

If Mary is the mother of God and the Father is God, then Mary is the mother of God the Father.

If Mary is the mother of God and the Holy Spirit is God, then Mary is the mother of God the Holy Spirit.

That puts Mary above the Godhead, makes Mary deity, makes her the mother of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, making them created, finite beings with beginning.

It totally messes up all kinds of theology.

Do Catholics EVER think through what they have been spoon fed for their entire lives, cause it sure doesn't look that way with the arguments they use.

I'll stick with agreeing with the Holy Spirit in what He inspired in Scripture: *Mary, the mother of Jesus*.

That way, I KNOW I can't be wrong.

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*.

Then she isn’t the “mother of God”.

On the contrary, by calling Mary *mother of God*, Catholics are denying Jesus' humanity.

Mary gave birth to Jesus, not God.

God had no mother or father, no beginning or end. He is the eternal God.

So why are you denying the humanity of Jesus and eternal nature of God by calling Mary *mother of God*?
