Do you really think that our Lord would grant them greater privilege and honor than he would to his own mother? I don't have a clue as to His intentions on that topic. It's not in the Bible and I am not inclined to speculate because I think it is unimportant. If this were of some import, there would be more guidance in the Scriptures regarding it. I am sure she was chosen by God for a special mission and she acheived it.

If this were of some import, there would be more guidance in the Scriptures regarding it. But where do get the unBiblical idea that all Christian doctrine must be found in the Bible? Jesus founded a Church on real living people; he did not write a book of doctrine. The Bible is a product of that Church. Take away the authority of the living Church and the authority of the canonical books of the Bible becomes no greater than that of the Gnostic scriptures.
