Nowhere in Scripture does Jesus refer to Mary as "mother."

Instead He calls her "woman."

Generic. He's telling us something here. Something He repeats to His disciples when He explained to them that His true mother and brothers are not those who are related to Him by blood, but instead are all those who believe in His name as Lord, King, God and Savior.

Repent of the idolatry that takes the focus off the Triune God and places it on the creature.

So?
I never called my mother “Mother”. I called her Ma. She called her mother “Baba”. Your understanding of scripture has no historical basis in cultural context.

Sorry you can’t see past your own American culture. That’s why you don’t understand. But seriously, Baby Jesus who grew up and was the same person that died on a cross for us, was not American and can’t be expected to live up to your American culture.
