In Christian belief, yes. God did not have a mother initially. He existed from all eternity as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. But God desired to become human, that He might die for our sins and open the gates of heaven to us. The only way someone becomes human is to be born of a human mother. Therefore God selected a human woman to be His mother. She gave birth to Him. That's what a mother does. Of course, if you don't accept that God became man; or that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is also God the Son; or that He was born of a human mother; then this doesn't make a bit of sense to you. But, if you don't accept these core doctrines of Christianity, you are not Christian, so there is no reason why Christian truth would make sense to you.

Yes!. Jesus is God and his Mother is the Virgin Mary so she is the Mother of God. Theotokas--the name has been around for a long long time.

In order to have a mother, you have to be born. God was not "born" He is not a species, he is an entity, a spirit form, He is the Alpha, the Omega. (The first, the last)
Now, Jesus (as God incarnate) was born so that he could die for our sins. So in a way "God" as part of the trinity was in deed born and indeed had a mother.

Not in the spiritual sense of the word. God always was, He always existed. However, God incarnate had a mother, Mary.

According to the Holy Trinity, Jesus is God and vice versa. So in that way, Mary is God's mother.

No,not in Christianity. As to other religions,I would not venture to say. Many ancient religions had a mother-of-the-main-god figure,although I can't think of an example.

The only biblical reference to the Heavenly Mother is referring to the Heavenly Jerusalem in Revelation.

Yes The four trinity - The father, the holy spirit, the mother, and the son.
Why don't you ask does God has mother-in-law or uncle?
Are you mad?
