This is where your argument goes off the rails as I already commented on the use of ‘personal.’

There is absolutely no correlation between explaining the literal use of Scriptural terms and then expressions which come from them. For we see the expressions in the words used.

How you correlated the above with inferring Mary as ‘mother of God’ amazes me.

However, I’ll bite...By your inference and use of Immanuel are you comfortable giving Mary the title of “Mother of YHWH”?

I see a high correlation, and hypocrisy, in allowing "personal saviour" and disallowing "mother of God."

Is Isaiah or Matthew causing you to stumble ?

Customarily, I'm uncomfortable with people using a name for God they cannot pronounce. I would not object to "mother of the LORD with us." Do you ? Theologically, I'm comfortable with "mother of Immanuel," mother of "God with us," " mother of God," and " mother of our LORD Jesus Christ."
