I don’t know why you Catholics are so insistent that God has a mother? God has no beginning or has no end, so he isn’t created. God chose that for our small brains to understand he should enter through a human form, flesh, and that his servants (Joseph and Mary) would provide for his childhood. He didn’t need any of this he created all of it, but to put it into our understanding he did it that way. It’s truly not important who his parents are they hold no key to our Salvation. I know that all the Catholic writers put her into the road of Salvation, but it’s just not IAW Scripture. You can call it tradition all you want, but pagans also had a tradition of woman worship not the kind of company I would claim.

Miriam is the mother of Immanuel, which the Spirit of God translated as "God with us." My advice: when you lack faith or understanding, be like a little child, not contentious, but with childlike faith and wait on the LORD to help strengthen your faith and understanding.

Christ was born under the law. He was sinless. One of the major sins he did not commit was dishonor his mother because he was sinless. Remember honor your mother and father. If he had no mother we got no Christ the redeemer. One of the Ten Commandments. He was born of a woman in his deity intact if not you have a John 4 antichrist. We have to watch what we say. Truly amazing when people declare Christ in his divinity had no mother other wise we have an antichrist.

Galations 4: " God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 in order to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as children. 6 And because you are children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our[b] hearts, crying, “Abba![c] Father!” 7 So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then also an heir, through God"

1 John 4

Testing the Spirits

4 "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits[a] to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3 and every spirit which does not confess Jesus is not of God. This is the spirit of antichrist, of which you heard that it was coming, and now it is in the world already. 4 Little children, you are of God, and have overcome them; for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 5 They are of the world, therefore what they say is of the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are of God. Whoever knows God listens to us, and he who is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error"

" born of the flesh" means born of a human mother . The spirit of God in Jesus was born in the flesh by a woman. His mother. He has to always honor his mother not worship her as long as he is the redeemer in flesh. We always honor Mary not worship her. God came first no one is before him and when he became man he had a mother. All "bets" are off if you want to continue in your path of no mother of God. 1John 4 .
