I would like to address your question “fatima” and it is not an attack on you, or other followers of “Catholicism”, because we are all in this fallen world together and we should work with one another to help one another understand the things we question in our journey for truth.

***(Is Mary the Mother of God?)***

Well “fatima”, I’m not a bible scholar or a church goer, nor do I adhere to any organized religion, but I do search out matters because I want to be pleasing unto our LORD.

The best way I can answer your question is this:

Mary is the physical (flesh body) mother of Christ Jesus.

So in that physical (flesh body) she cannot be considered “Mother of God” because God is Spirit, and Mary was not.

Now that Mary has passed over to be with the LORD, she has a spiritual body, but it still doesn’t make her the “Mother of God”, because she is now a “child of God”.

Even our Lord and Saviour thought it robbery to put Himself above or equal to God in Philippians 2:5-10.

*Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;*

Mary humbled herself too, and God never put her above or equal to Himself that we could even consider referring to her in such a way as “Mother of God”.

Mary should always be viewed in that physical sense of this miraculous birth of our Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus.

To take it beyond the physical role she took part in is extremely beyond the boundaries that are set.

It’s so far beyond the boundaries that it would make one who didn’t know any better to think, wow, if Mary didn’t come along there would be no God because she is His Mother.

Also, for me to state this in such a way that I have, does not demean or deny the Divinity of Christ Jesus in any way either.

I hope this helps to understand the important role Mary was a partaker of, but please keep in mind that she was a flesh and blood body just like the rest of us, and to give her a even higher standing as far as calling her the “Mother of God”, is just so way over the top that I just had to share this.
