Nonsense.
What a slippery pile of rationalized heresy.
Where’s this GREAT PURPORTED CHRIST EMPHASIS on HONORING MARY
WHEN
in a culture where and when HIS following response would have been interpreted as far more a slap in Mary’s face than it reads even in ours—when He evidently did not comply with his disciples’ encouragement to cut His teaching short and attend to His mother, blood siblings et al.
AND INSTEAD
VERY POINTEDLY SAID TO THE CONTRARY—THAT THOSE WHO
DID THE WILL OF THE FATHER
WERE HIS MOTHER, BROTHERS, SISTERS . . .
That does NOT fit your purported fantasy of building this huge sky scraper of a pseudo-Mary caricature goddess on top of the foundation of a toothpick splinter that is the noisy straw dog about Christ honoring his mother. Balderdash.
Sure He honored her in a fitting way. That’s a huge difference in your skyscraper of nonsense built on the splinter of a toothpick for a foundation.
Even at 12 He was no longer BUSY HONORING MARY—but WAS ABOUT HIS HEAVENLY FATHER’S BUSINESS—to her distress—which as God, He likely knew about, indeed, knew would happen.
There were some other Jews who were trying to fuss about the people praising Jesus.
Christ would have none of it. He said the rocks would cry out were they silent.
Another place speaks of God’s ability to raise children of Abraham up from rocks.
GOD ALMIGHTY could have certainly made a hundred varieties of a virgin maiden devoted to Him from any number of common Israeli rocks. She was NOT indispensably NEEDED.
God is NEVER put in a box NEEDing a person for any reason by any means.
He has an infinite variety of ways to achieve His goals.
God chose Mary. She did her task.
Task over. Fini.
Get over it.

AMEN!
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. -- Exodus 20:12
Are you saying that Jesus Christ did not fulfill the Law perfectly every day of his life?
Are you saying that he sinned? Not to honor his mother is a sin, according to the Law of Moses. The word translated "honor" literally means in Hebrew "bestow glory upon".
Incidentally, did you know that you are Jesus' younger brother? It's true: Romans 8:29.
What does that make Mary to you? A nice lady? Guess again.
Yeah this is it exactly.
Maryians believe that Yah’shua simply could not have been born if it wasn’t for Mary, a human, saying so.
Therefore, what they are really doing in their hearts is stating that man dictates to Yahweh. Man is in charge. Man is supreme.
It’s the old serpent lie.
