Thus, historically, the title "Mother of God" was never intended to tell us something about Mary, but rather to tell us something about Jesus: that he is not two different persons.

And that intent failed miserably. Because they didn't use Scripture as they should have. And because the title *mother of God* doesn't mention Jesus as the title *mother of Jesus* does.

The best thing to counter error is not creating more error by renaming Mary as *mother of God* but to simply use Scripture to teach correctly about the nature of Jesus.

. And now people are getting led into more error than ever with all the false teachings about Mary that Catholicsm has promulgated.

That’s curious. You’ll notice nobody’s in error about the meaning of the term “Mother of God” except certain 16th century polemicists who, whether misled or misleading, misconstrued the term -— and their intellectual progeny.
