More accurately, Jesus is God in the flesh...A distinction with a difference...
So Jesus is the Son of God. But is Jesus God? Just as we can find nowhere in Scripture where anyone says Mary is the “mother of Godâ€, neither can we find anywhere in Scripture where anyone says “Jesus is Godâ€. But Scripture clearly reveals that Jesus is God. This is most clearly revealed when Jesus tells the Jews in John 8:58, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.â€
Your religion is missing the difference...God became manifest, revealed in the flesh...The flesh was not God...The flesh was not before Abraham...You may not like the obvious implication but, oh well...It is what it is...
If you really study the words in scripture you'll know why Mary is not called the mother of God...It's because she isn't...

You may remember from our past exchanges that I do really study the words in Scripture. You might want to do so yourself. Because John 1 tells us that the flesh was God.
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1)
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14)
It does not say God became manifest in the flesh. It does not say God was revealed in the flesh. It says the Word was God and the Word was made flesh. True, the flesh was not before Abraham, nor was the flesh in the beginning. But the Word was. And the Word was made flesh. You may not like the obvious implication, but this is what Scripture reveals. If you can show me where Scripture shows us that the Word was not made flesh, or that the son of Mary is not God, I would be happy to consider it.
