What! So now Jesus sins! He is pointing out that any body can be in the family of God. He is not dis-honoring his natural born Mother. Which he cannot do or He is a sinner. Hello!!

Young's Literal Luke 11; 28And he said, `Yea, rather, happy those hearing the word of God, and keeping [it]!'

New King James Luke 11: 28 But He said, “More than that(Meaning His Main point), blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”

Ver. 28. Menounge, imo vero, yes indeed. Our Saviour does not here wish to deny what the woman had said, but rather to confirm it: indeed how could he deny, as Calvin impiously maintained, that his mother was blessed? By these words, he only wishes to tell his auditors what great advantage they might obtain by attending to his words. For the blessed Virgin, as St. Augustine says, was more happy in having our Saviour in her heart and affections, than in having conceived him in her womb. (Tirinus)

Also go talk to a Greek Orthodox.

Greek Menounge: nay surely, nay rather)

He would run you out of town with that "Greek" logic.

In order to acknowledge that one has been bested, one must have the wit to understand that one has been bested. You are correct, my friend. Let us see the outcome of your post.
