Hmmmm, Jesus rather seems to put His mother and siblings in their place more times than not.
Luke 11:27As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, “Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you.” 28 He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
Luke 8:19 And His mother and brothers came to Him, and they were unable to get to Him because of the crowd. 20And it was reported to Him, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wishing to see You.” 21But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”
INDEED.
THOUGH I’d take out the qualifier “seems”
It’s just that when RC’s get to those verses . . .
the Vatican mind meld takes over and all they see in their minds eye or on the page is the flutter of white hankys . . . which they may well fantasize are Mary’s kisses for their faithfulness to UNBIBLICAL hogwash.
Or . . . maybe those verses aren’t even in the Vatican stretchy ‘Bibles.’
How clueless are they? They wet their panties when we say they don’t believe and obey God’s Word.
YET Scripture after Scripture show their teachings - along with idolatry of Mary - are totally opposed to God’s Word.
If one says Mary is ANYONE/ANYTHING MORE than a faithful servant who fulfilled the destiny assigned to her - they cannot say they hear and obey God’s Word.
If one says WORKS is required for salvation - they cannot say they hear and obey God’s Word.
And that is just for starters.
