Insofar as Jesus IS the Word made flesh. Mary WAS the first person to hear the Word of God (along with Joseph & a mixture of farm animals - depending on which creche' you have).
Warning! This post is an attempt at humor - this is only an attempt at humor. Had this been a real post... you would have been instructed.......
The fullfillment of the Commandments is Obedience to God. If it's work for you to be obedient, then you can call it work. If you want to play word games, then no, it isn't. Obedience is required for fullfillment of promise. If you can't be obedient, you have no promise. Simple as that. But, then, you need the word games to confuse terminology in order to make the statements harder to follow.
Thank you for agreeing with me. More or less. Obedience is required for fulfillment of promise. And all we Catholics are doing is obeying the authority we believe God left for us to obey. No works involved.

No I've been accused of that before. People say I think in unusual ways, caused me problem in philosophy class
Were these questions answered to your satisfaction? I would appreciate an answer before you go flying off in another direction, change your words, and then accuse me of not paying attention to what you say.
I do not change my words. And no they were not, Jesus was never a Bad child and He obeyed his parents. Being human doesn't mean you have to be normal.
If we are to continue a dialogue it is important that one be consistent with his questions/arguments.
Post #1529 you asked:
Who was the first person to hear the Word of God and really keep it in a literal sense? Jesus is not admonishing his mother, but stating why she is truly Blessed.
And what does this mean? Word of God? Look at your post #1527 and you will see what I was responding to.
Do you believe it is fair play to change the content of your question from one post to another and expect the recipient to check whether you are accurately restating the original question?
There was no change, you didn't understand the first time I asked it. So I elaborated on my post some. I also did not understand you at first. Assuming you understood my post, I could not figure out what Zechari'ah had to do with my point.
Do you still insist Mary was the first person to hear the Word of God?
Yes, she was the first person to hear about Jesus and to know Him.
Do you acknowledge you changed your question from first to last post? This is important to me as a matter of honor.
No I did not. Do you not know who the Word is?
