The whole issue is settled if we stick to what the Holy Spirit called Mary in Scripture, that is *mother of Jesus*.
That leaves no room for confusion and heading into error by implying that Mary was the mother of the Godhead.
The Catholic excuse for calling Mary *mother of God* was allegedly to correct error about the deity of Christ, but that is best done by Scripture rather than changing Mary’s title into something that says something different.
Calling Mary *mother of God* does NOT correct errant teaching about the nature of Jesus. It DOES create more confusion and error about who Mary is.

Scripture calls Mary the Mother of Jesus yes. Jesus is both God and Man. If Jesus is God and Man and Jesus died on the cross, both God and Man died on the cross. I am confused as to how in one verse Jesus refers to God and Man and in the next Jesus just refers to Man.

(Mary is understood by the heart, not study of scripture.)
