"To say "mother of God" implies God was created and that the mother was in existence prior to God."

It does not imply that, any more than saying "President George Washington was the Father of Our Country" means the U.S. Presidency was in existence prior to the United States.

If there were any confusion on that score, one simple question would clear it up.

" You also have to say Mary is the mother of the Father and the Holy Spirit if she is the mother of God."

LOL. I "have" to say no such thing. It this were true, it would follow that by saying "Jesus is God," I would "have" to say Jesus "is" the Father and the Holy Spirit. No.

Jesus is one Person --- a Divine Person. One of the Blessed Trinity,

No one ever said Mary is the mother of the Blessed Trinity, Again, if there were any confusion on that score, one simple question would clear it up.

You can either acknowledge the definitions which everybody else has been able to grasp over the past 1600 years, or you can remain in perpetual attack mode against a doctrine whose terms you have refused to understand.

Or, a third possibility: you can take the Nestorian position that Jesus is not one, but two Persons, and that He was not eternal, infinite, all-powerful God for His entire existence, even when in the womb of Blessed Mary.

Which is it?

My position is founded upon Scripture.

14And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14 NASB

Well, yes you do if you're going to argue Mary is the Mother of God and that Jesus is God.
