“My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.”
Do you see the last three words of the verse you have been basing everything on? DOERS. Jesus himself says his mother and his brothers are those hear and DO the word of God. Being a spiritual brother isn’t enough. You have to be a DOER of the word of God. Our good works are the fruits of our accepting that we are forgiven. Faith without works is dead.
As to the idea that he disowned his mother via this verse, it is preposterous. Mary is to be revered. She has an honored place. Jesus was speaking as to principle and not as to fact. We know he did not reject his mother. Indeed, at least by the time of the wedding feast of Cana, she knew that he was a miracle worker and, so, some kind of man of God. We also know that his brothers took some time to come around to accepting him as the Messiah, but they did, and they were crucified for the faith. What good works have you performed relative to the martyrs, that you say they were rejected by Jesus as not being his spiritual brothers.
That has nothing to do with the conversation...

Are you hearing strange voices in your head??? You didn't hear (read) me saying anything like that...

You must have a different bible than the ones I have...That's not in any of my bibles...

I'm trying to show you the truth of the scriptures...I'm sure God appreciates that...
