Answer the question I asked. If we are to emulate Christ and Christ loved and honored his mother, who was Mary, what part of that can’t you grasp? Was he lying? You don’t believe him?

“Answer the question I asked. If we are to emulate Christ and Christ loved and honored his mother, who was Mary, what part of that can’t you grasp? Was he lying? You don’t believe him?”

Now take a deep breath, NK. Don’t make demands. This is a conversation, not The Inquisition.

We are not to emulate Christ by pretending Mary is our mother. We all have our actual mothers to honor. We are never commanded to honor Mary as our mother. I suggest you search the Scriptures and see what God inspired.

Best

If we follow simple logic, it goes like this:

We are to emulate Christ (true).
Christ loved and honored His mother (true).
Therefore, we should honor and love OUR mothers.

Now that is a logical progression. You make a leap of logic that is not supported by the statements. You deduce that because Christ honored His mother, we should also honor His mother, but the logical conclusion is that we should likewise honor OUR mothers if we emulate Christ.
