Nonbelievers and Protestants,
the title Mother of God was given to Mary in order to protect the TRUTH about Jesus Christ’s divinity. The 2nd person of the Trinity suffered on the cross. God suffered on the cross. Listen to our fathers of the one true Church...
“It is our duty to present to God, like sacrifices, all the festivals and hymnal celebrations; first of all, the Annunciation to the holy Mother of God, to wit, the salutation made to her by the angel, ‘Hail, full of grace!’” (A.D. 260) Saint Gregory the Wonderworker pray for us.
“We acknowledge the resurrection of the dead, of which Jesus Christ our Lord became the firstling; he bore a body not in appearance but in truth derived from Mary the Mother of God.” (A.D. 324) Saint Pope Peter of Alexandria pray for us.
“The Father bears witness from heaven to his Son. The Holy Spirit bears witness coming down bodily in the form of a dove. The archangel Gabriel bears witness bringing the good tidings to Mary. The Virgin Mother of God bears witness.”(A.D. 350) Saint Cyril of Jerusalem pray for us
“Though still a virgin she carried a child in her womb, and the handmaid and work of his wisdom became the Mother of God.” (A.D. 351) Saint Ephraim the Syrian pray for us.

“I have been amazed that some are utterly in doubt as to whether or not the holy Virgin is able to be called the Mother of God. For if our Lord Jesus Christ is God, how should the holy Virgin who bore him not be the Mother of God?” (A.D. 427) Saint Cyril of Alexandria pray for us
“If anyone will not confess that the Emmanuel is very God, and that therefore the holy Virgin is the Mother of God, inasmuch as in the flesh she bore the Word of God made flesh [John 1:14]: let him be anathema” Saint Cyril of Alexandria pray for us.
“You cannot then help admitting that the grace comes from God. It is God then who has given it. It has been given by our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore the Lord Jesus Christ is God. If he is God, then she who bore God is the Mother of God” (A.D. 429) Saint John Cassian pray for us.
