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

And how did God fight the false teachers that kept cropping up and tainting the Gospel that the Apostles were teaching? He inspired them to write the stuff down so that future generations of believers could hold in their greedy little hands the Gospel, untainted by traditions and false teachers that the evil one threw out. Even Peter and Barnabas needed correction in Jerusalem.

The tainted human mind is not faithful, but all praise to the Living God that He is faithful to us!
