Perhaps Christ saw into the woman's heart in a way that we cannot.

But that argument is worthless. "Perhaps" is never evidence of anything other than speculation. Even more so when Scripture further contradicts that speculation.

I suspect He still loves His Mother, as do we.

No Protestant imagines for a moment that Christ did not love His mother. As mothers go, she must have been wonderful. But Scripture tells us He didn't love His mother any more than He loves you and me.

I don’t agree with your interpretation of Scripture. As Christ was both human and divine, it is perfectly possible that he loved and revered His mother in a special way. As do we.

= = =

And, on that point, a LOT comes crashing down . . .

because on that point, their magicsterical AND traditions of men

trump Scripture.

Yet, we are to pretend otherwise else be accused of hate speech.

Sigh.
