Sorry, FRiend but I treated my mother differently than any other person.
My children treat me differently than they treat any other person.

You cannot say that Our Lord would not treat His mother differently than any other person. He would not be human if He did not.

[Petronski]

He would not be human if He did not.

Aha! He was man AND God! Surely His Divine aspect would not have treated His mother better than--

Oh. Nevermind...

Sorry to butt in, but I think the point here is not how Our Lord would treat others, but how we treat God and others. Our Lord asks us to love him above all else, love others, to honor mother and father. etc. Honoring Jesus mother shouldn't be a bad thing.

Again if my mom told me to renounce God the Father and go against His will I would tell her to go to H-E-double-L.

Just like Jesus told the Pharisees and just like Jesus told Peter. Mary/woman/”Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand TOWARD HIS DISCIPLES, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of my father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.”

Doing God's will was Jesus’s ONLY mother/brother/sister. Study Matthew 12:46-50 and leave your mother/son emotional EARTHLY things of men out of the assumption business.

God sent Jesus for a purpose, no EARTHLY person or emotional bond could have stood in the way. Jesus was the perfect servant of God the Father. Mary stood no chance and eventually probably understood that fact.

Sorry in my flabbergasted state “Doing God's will was Jesus’s ONLY mother/brother/sister.” = The ones doing God's will is...”

[Dr. Eckleburg]

But we have Scriptural evidence of how Christ thought of His mother -- when men try to exalt Mary in the Gospels, Christ corrects them by saying believers are His mother and brothers and sisters.

From Christ's own lips comes the truth that He loves believers equally if not MORE than His own mother. I believe Christ.

"And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it." -- Luke 11:27-28

"Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.

But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother." -- Matthew 12:47-50

---

"And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.

And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?

And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother." -- Mark 3:32-35

I can't recall Mary ever putting Jesus into a position where He was forced to treat her differently than any other person. That's not the Mary I know and love.

[Matthew 12:
46] While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him.

Did she pull "mother" rank?
