The Title Mother of God does not imply diminished Godhead. It does imply the truth that Jesus is God. The truth is that Mary bore the Second Person of the Trinity in her womb. She shared Her humanity with Him, and gave birth to Him. She also raised Him.

Which makes her the mother of Jesus. And nothing more.

Jesus IS God the Son. God the Father and God the Holy Spirit are all God. Did Mary bear them all? For if Christ is God, the Father is God and the Holy Spirit is God, and to claim Mary is the "Mother of God," failing to include ALL of the Godhead would seem to me to be wrong.

Lk 1:43, Jesus is Lord.

The only reason this objection is reasonable is if you are a Modalist. You are not a modalist are you? Because then you are suggestion patripassionim.
