I repeat

God has no mother.

any supposed church who says otherwise is misinformed.

Its not in my eyes friend. it is looking at the fact.

God created mary, Mary did not create God
Right in the opening post, member @Moonwood had stated that 'Mother of God' is not to elevate Mary, but Jesus too:

, "Mother of God" is not primarily a statement about Mary. It is a confession about who Jesus is.

Christians do not call Mary the mother of God.

Christians know God has no mother..
I’ve had more than one person tell me… no, they’re not Christian, they were born Catholic, and became a “born again Catholic” “…unaware, as an infant”, when a Catholic Priest Poured water over their head”!
Combine, interchange, Baptism with Water, Christening, Baptism of the Holy Spirit…and end up with a convoluted mess..

Christ-ian is simply a follower of Christ Jesus’ teaching…

A “Converted Heartful Believer in The Lord God Almighty“
“IS a Once and Forever Forgiven, Saved, Quickened, Justified, Promised man to Forever be Alive and With the Lord God Almighty… and Kept in THAT status by the Power of God.”

Glory to God,

What then is the KEY determining factor(s) that distinguishes between Godly council and man-made council(s)???
A council did not invent doctrines, it articulates what has been believed everywhere, always, and by all.
The council of Nicaea did not invent Trinity.
The council of Carthage did not invent a cannon.

:rolleyes:…
if so, the point would be about Jesus, not Mary.

Mary was (According to mans Law,) Jesus’ lawful mother.
Joseph was (According to mans Law,) Jesus’ Lawful fathers.

According to God… Gods Word…Appearing ON Earth…in a Body God Prepared would Be…
* Gods Son
* Abraham’s Son
* King David’s Son
* Son of Man,
* Son of God
* Revealed the Christ

Return to Heaven Above the Heavens and Sit at the Right Hand of God…

Later Return TO Earth… Seen by mortals ON Earth… Son of Man…
With his Angels, His Bride, (Church) His Power…(unseen) to mortals on Earth.

Until He Reveals to mortals the Effects of His Power to be seen and Effect them.

Matthew 22 The Parable of the Wedding Banquet teaches the otherwise:
Then he sent some more servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’.......,,

But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12 He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’ The man was speechless.

13 “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth
.’

One has to prepare himself to join the wedding feast even though invited.
The right in the feast is not foreever, assured, guaranteed

Now you say Jesus is God, and Mary is his mother.
So what's wrong with calling Mary: Mother of God??
Perspective…According to Gods Little by little. Bit by bit Teaching…ORDER and WAY.

…NOT According TO your ORDER and WAY of mindful, logical conclusions.

Every Title applied to Jesus…has a precise meaning within each passage.

Christians know God has no mother...

God is One and Triune: God the Thought (Father), God the Word (Son), and God the Holy Spirit. But only God the Word became human, while remaining divine. So when Christians say Mary was the Mother of God, they are acknowledging and accepting Scripture where it states:
  • Mary conceived and gave birth to God the Word Incarnate: Jesus.
    • Jesus is the eternal Word who is God and became flesh: John 1:1, 14.
    • Mary conceived Jesus and gave birth to Him: Luke 1:31; Luke 2:6-7.
  • Elizabeth called Mary "mother of my Lord."
    • Luke 1:43: “And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?”
  • Mary is called Jesus's Mother.
    • John 2:1 (“the mother of Jesus was there”)
    • Acts 1:14 (“Mary the mother of Jesus”)
  • Jesus is called Mary's Son.
    • Luke 1:31-32 (Mary will bear a son)
    • Galatians 4:4 (“God sent forth his Son, born of a woman.”)
  • Jesus is called the fruit of Mary's womb.
    • Luke 1:42: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!”
  • Jesus is called God.
    • John 1:1 (“the Word was God”)
    • John 20:28 (“My Lord and my God!”)
    • Titus 2:13 (“our great God and Savior Jesus Christ”)
    • Hebrews 1:8 (“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.”)

Mary the Mother of God = Mother of specifically God the Word Incarnate. It is not only a statement about Mary, but also of Who Jesus is.

Do you reject where Scripture states God the Word became incarnate as a human, was born of Mary, and named "Jesus"?

The point was about Those Adjoined, Wedded, Bride, Church… by, through, of Christ Jesus…. takes place Above the Earth.

The Wedding Supper, Banquet, Feast…is After the WEDDING…and Takes place ON Earth…with “Saved” INVITED Guests…

And seemingly A (or more) unsaved mortals attempt to “sneak” into the Supper Celebration…and are caught and ejected.

Jesus parable in Mastthew is speaking of a feast on earth, hosted by a King.
Don't twist the contents to suit your own explanation.

Time to stop and think according to the WORD that was GOD and became flesh

#1 - The WORD that was GOD from the beginning has no "beginning nor end"

#2 - The WORD pre-ceeded entering a "body prepared for HIM" by at least Eternity.

#3 - The WORD that was GOD created "ALL things" = thus HE created the body inside Mary for HIM to enter into the world thru

#4 - Mary could never create GOD

#5 - Hebrews 10:5 = a body was prepared inside Mary's womb for the WORD that was GOD to clothe Himself in flesh and blood

#6 - Elizabeth needed a SAVIOR and her SAVIOR is the LORD Jesus Christ

#7 - Mary needed a SAVIOR and her SAVIOR is the LORD Jesus Christ

#8 - Mary prayed for forgiveness to her LORD & SAVIOR = Jesus Christ the LORD

The title...is all about JESUS.
Jesus was God long before Mary was even born

Jesus created mary

The title is all about paganistic beliefs..

Mother of God is a pagan term, always has been

Mary gave birth to a human Body

At the moment of birth. Jesus left his heavenly abode. set aside his pride. and entered that body.

Again, mother of God is a pagan term.
