Why is *mother of Jesus* not good enough?
Did the Holy spirit inspire Scripture inadequately?
Because that is completely unremarkable.
The point is to emphasize that Jesus has a divine (as well as human) nature.
It's as simple as that.
It’s not that the title “Mother of Jesus” isn’t good enough.
It’s that saying that Mary is the mother of Jesus, but is not the mother of God, is preposterous.
A woman cannot have a son who is a fireman, and at the same time not be the mother of a fireman.
If a woman has a son who is a fireman, she is the mother of a fireman.
Mary has a son who is God. She is therefore the mother of God.
Go ahead: Explain to me how a woman can have a son who is a fireman and at the same time NOT be the mother of a fireman.

If one is uncomfortable calling Mary the Mother of God, “mother of Jesus” is good enough. But to say that Mary is not the mother of God is refuted by Scripture.
When Mary was found to be with child, and the angel of the Lord told Joseph that it was through the Holy Spirit that this child was conceived in her, the child that was conceived in Mary was GOD. When the magi saw the child with Mary His mother, the child to whom they paid homage was GOD. When Joseph took the child and His mother to Egypt that the words of the prophet, “Out of Egypt I called my son,” might be fulfilled, that child was GOD. When Joseph took the child and His mother to Nazareth, so that the words of the prophet, “He shall be called a Nazorean,” might be fulfilled, that child was GOD. When Gabriel told Mary that she would conceive and bear a son, who she shall name Jesus, that son was GOD. When Elisabeth asked Mary, Why should the mother of my Lord visit me?”, that Lord was GOD. When Mary gave birth to Jesus, and the angel of the Lord told the shepherds that today a savior is born, and the shepherds went and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant in the manger, that infant who was born of Mary on that day was GOD. When Simeon took Jesus in his arms, and said to Mary His mother, “Behold, this child is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel,” that child was GOD. When Mary and Joseph found Jesus in the temple, and His mother said to Him, “Son, why have you done this to us,” and Jesus answered, “Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?”, it was GOD who was answering His mother.
