Why then, don't y'all follow Mary's instructions to do whatever He tells you?

we do...for example when He said "take and eat of This, THIS IS MY BODY" we pretty much take Him at His word and do it.

"And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me" (Luk 22:19 AV). Either:

(A) Jesus was speaking literally, the bread became His body, and part of His body (and His blood) did not go to the cross and was not crucified; or

(B) He was speaking figurative-literally, the bread was to be taken as a figure of speech representimg His body, and all of His body (and all of His blood) went to the cross and was crucified.

If you pick the wrong one for your doctrine, you are not remembering Him as He wished.
