Saying that Mary is the mother of God is saying a different thing than saying that Mary is the mother of Jesus.

Your disagreement is with the Holy Spirit then as HE is the one who calls Mary *mother of Jesus* in the Scripture that He inspired and breathed out, never referring to her as *mother of God*.

The Catholic church is wrong and guilty of the sin of presumption that they like to accuse others of so much, in presuming to correct what the Holy Spirit inspired as not being adequate or accurate.

The Holy Spirit did not need them to come along and correct something He revealed as if He didn’t do a good enough job of revealing it in the first place.

I’m telling you this is wrong. Motherhood is not and authorship of an existence. It is a necessary participation in it. No woman is solely the origin of her Children. This is why Mary is called the spouse of the Holy Spirit.

There is a necessary connection to saying that Jesus is God, and that therefore Mary is the Mother of God. There is no problem with this theologically. Nor biblically, since you cannot provide me one scriptural account where Jesus is not God.

There are plenty of scriptural accounts which support the Mary’s motherhood of God, here is Isaiah 7:14

“Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.” (which means God is with us)
