nm, apparently you thought my post was for you. It was not. Your example was sweet and I'm truly happy for your joy with your own children, but making a practice and doctrine out of your own experience is not Christianity. Scripture does not need to state the obvious, but neither should you add to it your own experiences and then elevate them to a doctrine. best, ampu

No, I thought it was on a discussion forum for everyone.

I'm sorry if you do not agree with this but common sense says that not every single moment or emotion in Christ's life is stated in scripture. Did Jesus urinate? It isn't in the Bible is it? Mary acted like a mother and still does. I don't state that Jesus having bodily functions is doctrine and I don't state that Mary acting maternal is doctrine, you did. I just say that it's common sense. I leave the doctrine to the experts.
Some things are just without saying if one believes that Jesus was human with a human mother.
