“Mary, mother of JESUS.” And JESUS is GOD.

But which logic we should give the Jews and Romans the formal title "God killers" and Christians should be called "Brothers of God" " but which, as with Mother of God, most naturally denotes Divinity as having relations who are ontologically of the same nature. While in a qualified technical sense such could be allowed, they are contrary to the language of Scripture in which the Holy Spirit gives few if any honorific titles to mortals, in contrast to Christ, nor exalts any created being even close to what Caths do with the false Mary of Catholicism/a>, and the Spirit even qualifies that Israel brought forth Christ "according to the flesh," God blessed for ever," (Rm. 9:5) which applies to Mary as well.

Theotokos as God-bearer better denotes Mary was the vehicle of the incarnation, but RCs mostly shun that in preference to "Mother of God" in their idolatrous quest to glorify her above that which is written, which they manifest that are far more committed to than protecting Mary from being venerated as basically,

an almost almighty demigoddess to whom "Jesus owes His Precious Blood" to,

whose [Mary] merits we are saved by,

who "had to suffer, as He did, all the consequences of sin,"

and was bodily assumed into Heaven, which is a fact (unsubstantiated in Scripture or even early Tradition) because the Roman church says it is, and "was elevated to a certain affinity with the Heavenly Father,"

and whose power now "is all but unlimited,"

for indeed she "seems to have the same power as God,"

"surpassing in power all the angels and saints in Heaven,"

so that "the Holy Spirit acts only by the Most Blessed Virgin, his Spouse."

and that “sometimes salvation is quicker if we remember Mary's name then if we invoked the name of the Lord Jesus,"

for indeed saints have "but one advocate," and that is Mary, who "alone art truly loving and solicitous for our salvation,"

Moreover, "there is no grace which Mary cannot dispose of as her own, which is not given to her for this purpose,"

and who has "authority over the angels and the blessed in heaven,"

including "assigning to saints the thrones made vacant by the apostate angels,"

whom the good angels "unceasingly call out to," greeting her "countless times each day with 'Hail, Mary,' while prostrating themselves before her, begging her as a favour to honour them with one of her requests,"

and who (obviously) cannot "be honored to excess,"

and who is (obviously) the glory of Catholic people, whose "honor and dignity surpass the whole of creation." Sources and more. T

Jesus is God, manifest in the flesh...Put's a little different perspective on it...

1Ti_3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Was Jesus justified in the flesh??? Nope...Justified in the spirit...

King James Bible
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus

All will call Mary blessed, but she is not a mediator between man and God.

Only Jesus.

Born a man, always God from eternity.
