I suspect that you are a disciple of your own mother and father, is that not correct?

No, that is not correct. I certainly have not considered nor called myself such.

I do have a picture of Mary in my house, but I also have a very large Crucifix near the front door.

These sound very much like graven images. I cannot imagine Jesus or the Disciples having such adornment in their houses nor will they be in Heaven.

Christians believe in an incarnate God, born before all ages, incarnate of a virgin.
A “graven” image of the Jesus reminds us that he is a man not an angel, one like us except for sin, who spoke to us face-to-face, suffered, died and was buried, but who rose again and will come again in glory to judge the world.
