And yet you wrote "... nor is the catholic claim that Jesus is giving all of us His mom"

For context....here is my complete statement.

It is not in the Greek nor is the catholic claim that Jesus is giving all of us His mom. Nor is it in the Greek that this is making Mary the mother of the disciples.

However, I became a follower of Jesus at age eleven. That makes me a Christian.

I hope so

Uh, yes. I believe Jesus died for my sins...all of them.

The Word is clear...one comes to Jesus through faith. So yes, I am a Christian.

Probably, but if you have faith in Jesus, why don't you believe Him and follow the church that He founded???....why don't you believe Him when He ACTUALLY SAID...TAKE AND EAT OF THIS, THIS IS MY BODY....He said it and it is still so. Protestants love to claim the mantle of Christianity while establishing their own misinterpretations of what the Bible says about it.

The context doesn’t save your claim; you wrote erroneously about what the Catholic Church teaches. Just admit it and move on.

BTW, I read the first sentence's second phrase as indicating you held that it is not the Catholic claim that Jesus is giving his mother to his disciples. Of course it is the Catholic claim, as I demonstrated. I now see you may have simply been contending that you don't find that in the Greek. I read the sentence as "A is not in the Greek nor is (it) the catholic claim that ..., to which I raised my objection. I already knew the tradition of the devolved Protestant denominations and sects that have largely discounted blessed Mary from their reading of scripture in reaction to Catholicism.
