I’m sure Christ will be pleased and congratulatory at how you prided yourself on denigrating His mother. I guess you’re pleased with people who denigrate your mother too (God help her and forgive her for bring you up like that).

Mark 3

31 Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him.

32 A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.”

33 “Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked.

34 Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”

Jesus’ Mother and Brothers
(Matthew 12:46-50; Luke 8:19-21) Douay-Rheims Bible

31 And his mother and his bretheren came; and standing without, sent unto him, calling him. 32 And the multitude sat about him; and they say to him: Behold thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. 33 And answering them, he said: Who is my mother and my brethren? 34 And looking round about on them who sat about him, he saith: Behold my mother and my brethren. 35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

I forgive you for speaking ignorantly of my deceased mother. But you, apart from Lord Jesus Christ, do not and cannot extend God's help and forgiveness to anyone and should be more mindful what you say about two of His redeemed children.

And you see nothing wrong with speaking ignorantly and disrespectfully of Christ’s mother? I can only conclude that either you don’t believe in the divinity of Christ or you have an extremely truncated, shrunken, wizened notion of what divinity actually is.

You are in error regarding each of the conclusions you reached.

You argument appears to be with the Biblical citations I provided.

[maryz]

Your argument seems to be based on the modernist interpretation of the Biblical citations you “provided.”

Such bitterness. Choose your own translation of the provided Bible passages. Or do not.

Good Friday to you.

It's not a matter of what I *want* to believe. There are instances in the Bible of people who are not brothers, being referred to as "brothers."

There is no reason to suddenly decide that "brother" means only what it means in modern English when it comes to Jesus in the NT.
