>>Or sisters or daughters. That is the sense in which Mary is our mother.<<
He did not say “robroy’s mother. He said “my” mother.
And to even use that scripture to somehow discuss Mary as perpetual virgin is a form of irony.
And what really creeps me out is that you are suggesting that Mary is somehow my “spiritual mother”. That is sounding frighteningly Mormon.
I’m not mormon, nor have I had any experience with them. But she is our spiritual mother. I am sorry that you find the doctrine revolting, but it is scriptural.
