I did find and managed to remember that Matthew 12 passage, and had used it in apologia previously.

Imagine Jesus leaving His mother and brothers to sit outside in the crowd, whether she was a sinless being or not!

But the ministry was too important to have her replace one person in the house. She and the rest of her kids had already heard Jesus speak, and that one person probably hadn't.

Yeah.

Again, Jesus is given a perfect opportunity to raise up Mary as an example to follow, but shoots that down by focusing the disciples and listeners onto something else...the will of the Father.

How did the Jews figure out the will of the Father? They searched their Sciptures. What was Matthew passing on to the earliest of Christians? Definately NOT telling people to follow the example of Mary!

Like you have been trying to hammer home...Mariology isn't consistant with the rest of Scripture. Context is everything.

Sincerely
