Christ told Mary that John would now be her son on earth. And John took care of Mary thereafter. She was not, and you will never be able to provide Scripture to prove otherwise, that she was no longer heard of in Scripture after Acts. She is not preaching, writing Scripture, providing insite, providing the Gospel. That WAS given to Paul and he did that. Mary did not. End of argument. You can believe whatever it is you believe and I will follow the Gospel of 1 Corth 15: 1-4. No where there is Mary mentioned.

You are welcome for my sharing the verse from Acts to correct what you first stated:

*** The Scriptures tell nothing of her doing anything after the crucifixion.***

You say: She is not preaching, writing Scripture, providing insite (sic), providing the Gospel.

There is nothing written about any such actions on her part in the scriptures. However, we do not know ALL that happened in the lives of the Apostles, disciples and with Mary. I would think it natural for her to share insight from all those things she kept in her heart about Jesus. I would think it natural and probable that she was asked to share about some of that by John and the others. As for sharing the Gospel, It is quite likely that she shared this precisely because of her devotion to her Son. All of us, who are called followers of Christ are called to do just that.

You say: You can believe whatever it is you believe and I will follow the Gospel of 1 Corth (sic) 15: 1-4. No where there is Mary mentioned.

Thank you. I will continue to believe in God’s plan of salvation as revealed in the beauty and majesty of the entire Bible. I will also continue to show great respect for the Mother of my Savior.
