And the Scripture telling us this would be where?

John 2...for those who have ears to hear, and eyes to see.

First, you will please note the BVM remains unnamed in the Cana story. The Holy Spirit obviously wants no confusion on which "Mary" is involved.

Next, the BVM merely "informs" our Lord as to the status of the wine. It is also quite obvious our Lord knows her heart and is attentive to her wishes even though she hasn't made a formal request.

Our Lord then makes it known to his mother what she wants is outside the divine plan. Nevertheless, GOD CONDESCENDS TO ALTER HIS DIVINE PLAN AT HER REQUEST!

Despite what the Scriptural text records of what our Lord "says" in answer to his mother, we see the very next event in the text is the BVM giving commands to the servants to prepare the way for our Lord's glory to be made manifest.

Is it any wonder millions of Jesus Christ's followers ask the Blessed Virgin Mary, who is just as alive as Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, to interceed for them with our Lord?

In this light, it seems pretty clear to me continual harping on 1Tim 2:5 is the same spirit that accused the disciples of "harvesting."

It seems extraordinary, and sad somehow, that these basic things are not being taught in other faiths.
