You must not believe in the incarnation.

You assume a little too much as to my position and that of the Islamists.

Though Jesus was born of Mary, that does not make Him Divine.
Having The God as His Father, being of the same Substance, and preexisting Mary, does.
The Muslims are trying to avoid His Divinity, in which they do not believe.

My belief, also from Scripture, is that Mary had other children of Joseph,
but they were not divine from conception in the flesh.

If Mary had other children, wouldn’t one or more stand with her in her darkest moment?

Why even mention Muslims? The Jews do not accept Jesus’ divinity either — if they did, they would be Christians.

But getting back to basics: Your mom, when she was pregnant with you was mother of your total person i.e. your body and soul.

Mary, when she was pregnant with Jesus was also mother of His Whole Person — Body, Soul and Divinity. Not just mother of Body and Soul. Hence Catholics give Mary the title of Mother of God. They know full well that Jesus’ divinity does not find it’s origin in Mary. Sheesh, you think we are all ignorant?

By the way, the title “Mother of God” was already used in the 2nd century. It was only 14 centuries later during the Protestant Reformation that this title was questioned.

I guess Catholics were in error for 15 centuries until Protestants came on the scene and shined the light of truth on this misunderstanding. Yeah right.
