God has no mother.

But Jesus of Nazareth — the Christ — DOES.

Idiot.

Please don’t call names.

You said God had a Mother. I said God does not. You agree. I’m not the idiot here.

Perhaps a break from this thread would be wise.

I am not convinced that

JESUS THE CHRIST

HAS

A MOTHER per se currently.

He HAD a mother as an earthly human being.

That period is past.

Jesus The Christ existed before Mary was more than an awareness in some conceptualized something in God’s mind or knowing before the foundation of the world like all the rest of us.

Jesus was God long before Adam, much less Mary existed in human form.

In that sense, Mary was NOT his ‘originating’ mother in any way shape or form.

She ‘merely’ birthed His human form for His human form’s 33 years on this earth.

Job done.

Fini.

One can fantasize until the cows come home about some super miraculous super God-like relationship with SUPER MARY for all eternity.

However, such is NOT Biblical.

In FACT, Scripture records Christ’s indicating quite starkly that the typical affection and relationship between Him

AND ALL HIS BLOOD RELATIVES—was SUPERCEDED BY, encompassed by, subsumed in THOSE WHO DO THE WILL OF THE FATHER.

Roman Catholics et al love to slippery step by that passage. However, it is there FOR A PURPOSE. And that purpose is clearly NOT to assign to Mary nor His blood brothers and sisters

THE LEAST BIT OF A SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.

That’s plain Scripture.

The Vatican edifice spends a LOT of time, money ink and wood pulp disagreeing with the wording, the context and the import of that passage.

To the dreadful misdirection of millions of folks in the pews.
