But your comment illustrates why the early church councils felt the need to emphasize that Mary was the Mother of God (Θεοτόκος): denial of this logically leads to a denial of either Jesus' full divinity or his full humanity.

The title *mother of Jesus* was used in Scripture BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, to identify MARY, not JESUS.

*mother of Jesus* identified which of the many Mary's the Holy Spirit was referring to. It was ever used to declare Jesus divinity.

So the Catholic church's excuse for changing that is invalid. It's not their business to try and correct what they see as errors in how the Holy Spirit inspired Scripture.

“It’s not their 9the catholic church) business to try and correct what they see as errors in how the Holy Spirit inspired Scripture.” Ah, but they have been doing it for millennia, even changing the wording in Genesis to support Mariology Mythology!

Leave that to the JWs and the Mormons.

The phrase "Mother of my Lord" is in Luke 1:43. "Lord"="Adonai"="Yahweh" = "God" (Exodus 3:15). "Mother of God" is simply paraphrasing what Elizabeth says in Luke 1:43. Using synonyms is not "correcting" Scripture.
