Well, He never calls her His mother in scripture!

As has been said, that' shows ZIP>

And He makes everyone who follows Him equal to her (Mk.3:34-35),It can be argues that that is misreading, over-application, and sloppy thinking about "equal" v. "same".

Why does it show ZIP-because you say it does?

I would think the fact that Christ made it a point never to call her 'mother' and in fact always redirected attention away from her would prove the point that Christ was making an issue of His words, not His family relationships, even with Mary.

And He makes everyone who follows Him equal to her (Mk.3:34-35),It can be argues that that is misreading, over-application, and sloppy thinking about "equal" v. "same".

And you can 'argue' anything you want, the fact is that nowhere in scripture does Christ make Mary anyone special.

That is a Roman Catholic myth built on the traditions of men, not the words of God.
