That's all true. Jesus had grandparents, uncles, cousins --- on His mother's side, of course. Mary's father and mother were Jesus' grandparents. Jesus was God.

Could it be any simpler?

I think the difficulty comes in if someone mistakenly thinks this means that these people were somehow "creators" of God. This is nonsense. God is the creator of everything and everyone, including of His own Mother Mary and all of His ancestors through Mary.

Thus Jesus,our God, had all these relatives and ancestors: on His mother's side.

Nor Mary. But consistency demands that if you choose to call Mary the Mother of God, you must follow through.

Of course, none of it is true. Mary is most favored, but the rest of the extra-Biblical nonsense becomes silly.
