Question: God, you confirm your answers please?

God’s answer:

Mother of God

Question: Why is this your confirming answer?

God’s answer:

Meaning of Theotokos.

Meaning: God used the term Theokos because of the history of the place. The Tomb of the Virgin Mary was taken over in 1757 by the Greek Orthodox church.

Theotokos is the Greek title of Mary, the mother of Jesus used especially in the Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and Eastern Catholic Churches. Its literal English translations include "God-bearer", "Birth-Giver of God" and "the one who gives birth to God." Less accurate translations include the primarily Western title "Mother of God" (Latin: Mater Dei).31

Question: According to this Wikipedia article Mother of God is a less accurate translation, so why did you use this?

God’s answer:

Commonly known

Meaning: Tthe word Theotokos is commonly known to mean “Mother of God” . So, I read the article further, and God was right.

“ Theotokos is a compound of two Greek words, Θεός God and τόκος parturition, childbirth. Literally, this translates as God-bearer or the one who gives birth to God; historian Jaroslav Pelikan translated it more precisely as "the one who gives birth to the one who is God".[12] However, since many English-speaking Orthodox find this literal translation awkward, in liturgical use, Theotokos is often left untranslated, or paraphrased as Mother of God.” 18
