What is interesting to me from a anthropological sense, is the hostility displayed over the Saviors’ Mother. JMJ.

I have no hostility at all toward Mary, she just is not a very big part of my Christian religion.

I have none.

I DO rather SCORN the object Rome has created and claims is Jesus' mother.

It's no use, although I give you credit for trying. I can't help but wonder what those who believe nothing but the Bible alone think the Holy Family did during the years between the Finding in the Temple and Jesus'public ministry. He returned with them (Mary and Joseph) and was obedient unto them. He waxed strong and grew in favor with God and men.

I doubt very much that He lived in some sort of suspended animation simply because nothing He did during that time is recorded in the Bible.

Human reason would say there is more; logic, and common sense as well. Those who don't choose to believe will politely state their case, like mature Christians who are open to discussion; from these, both sides can at least learn something (I know I have) and behave as is appropriate to followers of Christ. Some will rudely try to state their case while deriding Mary (perhaps forgetting she is still the Mother of Jesus according to Scripture) and Catholicism. Some will simply make inflammatory posts which only make sense to the poster. The precedent has been set.

No matter who the reader or respondent, one day the truth will be revealed to them! I pray with all my heart that it will be a time/eternity of joy, and may we all meet together in Heaven!

God bless us all here, whatever one's belief!
