Scripture always quotes Him as calling her *Woman*. Do you have other Scripture showing where He called her *Mom*? I have 3 sons......if any of the three had ever called their mother woman, they would have a hard time sitting for a month....believe me, Jesus, as a child, referred to Mary as mother or mom or whatever Jewish kids called their maternal parent.......and it wasn't woman.

The Greek word is for woman. The vast majority of the major translations have it as woman.
However, it is not a sign of disrespect as we understand it might be today.
And this is why we study the Greek. :)
Always good to see you TC.

.believe me, Jesus, as a child, referred to Mary as mother or mom or whatever Jewish kids called their maternal parent.......and it wasn't woman.If the phrase is so disrespectful for a child, why wasn't it disrespectful for Jesus as an adult to refer to Mary in the same way?

WHY should I believe you?
Do you have anything to offer but your opinion?
