Catholic Christians say so. Orthodox Christians say so. Some of the Protestant denominations also agree. If you call yourself Christian it usually means that you believe Jesus is God in the flesh. It is clearly stated in the Bible that Mary is the Mother of Christ. If you believe Jesus is God and Mary is His Mother, how is Mary not the Mother of God?

yes she is....
jesus is god in the flesh...and mary is his mother. it really isn't as complicated as protestants make it.
christ was 100% man and 100% divine (not 50/50)
thus...mary is the mother of god. plus, jesus himself referred to her as "mother".
she is not mother of theFather, but of the Son (both referring to the same God)

Mary was the physical mother of Christ. However, she was created by God (confusing, isn't it). However, through Mary Jesus attained His human attributes, his godly attributes come from the fact that He is God. So, while Mary is the mother of Jesus, who is God, Mary herself is not the mother of God.
Catholic christians and orthodox christians use traditions and apocrypha as well as the bible, that is why they believe this. Most protestants only use the bible and thus do not believe this.

Yes, Mary is the mother of God since Jesus is not only the Son of God, but also God himself.

Because God was also in heaven. Did she also bear the burden of the Father and the Holy Spirit? I think not.
The "Queen of Heaven" sounds too much like the "Mary Mother of God" idea. But you can believe it if you want to, I will not be a part of that and all those other things. Don't forget that Jesus 'emptied himself' to take on the form of a man. Jesus was both man, and God, but the thing that I find misleading is that the RC's attempt to rationalize something that was actually a religion before Christianity. They had their feet in idolatry before all that. And they still haven't gotten out of that behavior.

Yes, Mary is indeed the Blessed Mother Of the Eternal God.
That is the Highest Blessing God Could Ever Bestow upon His Creation.

Mary is the mother of Jesus, Jesus was the first of creation, Colosian 1: 15, Jesus speaks of working with his Father, in Proverbs 8. Jesus is A god, not THE God.

First of all, you are wrong. Catholics believe this and very few others that are Catholic minded.
Because Christ existed before time began, Mary did not. She is definitely the mother of Jesus, but not God. Yes Jesus is God. Jesus is God incarnate. His life did not begin at the birth of Jesus. This is similar to the trinity problem. No one can understand it-no one. One God in three persons.
Don't lose any sleep over it. You will never figure it out.

Mary is the mother of Christ the Savior the only begotten son of God, who was born King Of The Jews.

God has no mother because God is the beginning of all things. Mary is the mother of Jesus the only begotten son of God and being a virgin made it possible for Jesus to be fully human and fully God.

That's why some Christians differentiate Jesus with "God the Son" as opposed to the Son of God. The former phrase puts Mary's humanity back into perspective.
