Well, she was part of the posse that thought Jesus was crazy and "they went out to seize him, for they were saying, "He is out of his mind." Mark 3:20, 3:31
And Paul martyred Stephen. So what?

AND this is sinless behavior? Was her accusation to Jesus on the 3 day visit to the temple sinless?

Why are all her remarks to the Savior met with standoffish behavior?

Why is she mentioned ONLY once in the Book of ACT, Romans, 1,2 Corinthians, Galations, Ephesians, Phillipians, Colossians, 1,2 Thessalonians, 1,2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, Hebrews, James, 1,2 Peter, 1,2,3 John, Jude and Revalation?

Are you free from sin, due to Christ’s sacrifice? If you are, she is.

What’s sinful about it?

I object to your putting Mary into the “family” that thought Jesus might be crazy. Scripture does not anywhere say that Mary thought that or said that.

While it is true that Mary is mentioned further along as one who was waiting outside to speak to Jesus, Scripture does not mention why she was there or what she was going to say. Scripture also does not say that Jesus talked to them.

Could one think that they brought Mary because they thought they had a better chance of speaking with Jesus if she was there?

Or could one think that Mary went with them because she heard what they were saying and was there to support and defend Jesus? Or that she was going to ask Jesus to allay their fears and dispute their charges?

Scripture is clear on none of the details or the conclusion to the event.

As for Mary, is it your contention that Mary who was visited by and Angel, who told her she would bear the Son of the Most High God, who gave the glorious Magnificat, the Canticle of Mary thought that Jesus was crazy?

She had seen what the angel promised come true. She had heard the prophecy of Simeon and of Anna and she wondered at their words. She knew at the wedding at Cana that what He could do and witnessed Him doing it.

And you say she was part of the posse that thought Jesus was crazy!

How far will you go to discredit Mary in your zeal to discredit the Church?
