You cannot provide one Scriptural account where Mary is called *spouse of the Holy Spirit*, *mother of God*, or any of the other titles the Catholic church has bestowed on her.
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.
Correcting error about who Jesus is is best done using Scripture, not going into further error by making up wrong teaching about Mary. It is NOT a necessary connection to Jesus. It's just an excuse to deify Mary.
There are plenty of scriptural accounts which support the Marys motherhood of God, here is Isaiah 7:14

Your selection of that verse only supports my position, that Mary is the mother of JESUS and NOT the mother of God.
The verse says that the virgin will bear a son and His name will be *Immanuel, God with us*, not *his name will be *God*.
>>>You cannot provide one Scriptural account where Mary is called<<<
Oh common, get over yourself. Luke’s gospel is an ample explanation of how the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary.
Your arguments are disingenuous to interpreting the text. Its a false hermeneutic to interpret scripture that way. Not even Jesus did so, See Matthew 22:41-45 which is a great example btw.
>>>spouse of the Holy Spirit<<
Lk 1:35
The angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God.
When the power of the holy spirit overshadowed Mary God supplied himself to be born of the Virgin. She is the spouse of God in the sense that the power of the Holy Spirit brought abut Jesus into the world.

False, there is nothing wrong with stating the obvious from scripture. Jesus is God, therefore Mary is the mother of God. This is a broken record.
You shouldn’t let your disagreement towards the Catholic Church cloud your understanding of Jesus. Your dismissal of Mary is making you claim false things about the Nature of Christ. This is bad theology and a bad practice of faith. In arguing this way you argue like the Pharisee.
