Yup, and defend him, too.
I am no orphan.
God is my Father and Jesus is my older brother.
And my mother?
Galatians 4:22-26 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave woman and one by a free woman. But the son of the slave was born according to the flesh, while the son of the free woman was born through promise. Now this may be interpreted allegorically: these women are two covenants. One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery; she is Hagar. Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.
Heh, I guess Paul didn't get the memo from the Catholic church or the pope that (supposedly) Mary is our mother.
The more I learn about Catholicism the more appalled I am. The concept of Mary being “gueen of heaven and “ Holy mother” originated in Ephisus where the temple to Dianna the “queen of heaven” was located. Paul had some contention with the church there. It’s striking that the church of Eephisus is also chastised in Revelation.
