He humbled Himself, becoming obedient to death. He also humbled Himself by being obedient to Mary. Even though she was highly favored, she was still a human being, and for God to be obedient to a creature, or to call her mother, had to be demeaning to Him. Although there were times He had to remind Mary of His divinity, He was obedient to her as part of His redemptive actions to bring us to Salvation.

Oh good grief. Are you saying Jesus was only obedient to Mary? Did He tell Joseph were to get off? Was He not "obedient" to other adults??

The catholic desire to read into the text something that's not there has lead to this false teaching.

If anything, Mary is obedient to Jesus and will be obedient to Jesus.

The catholic has it completely backwards.

A secondary reason is that Scripture so clearly reveals that this child that Mary brought forth is God.

Using catholic "logic", then Mary is the mother of the Holy Spirit.

Again, none of what the catholic purports the scriptures to say are true regarding this.

“Are you saying Jesus was only obedient to Mary?”

Where do you see the word only? Of course Jesus was obedient to Joseph, as we are told in Luke 2:51 - And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was submissive to them. And his mother treasured up all these things in her heart.

“Using catholic “logic”, then Mary is the mother of the Holy Spirit.”

Mary did not give birth to the Holy Spirit; she gave birth to the Son. A woman becomes a mother in the very act of giving birth to a child, and the child that Mary gave birth to is God in the person of Jesus Christ. It is only in this sense that Mary is the mother of God.

“Again, none of what the catholic purports the scriptures to say are true regarding this”.

Again, show me how the Scriptures I have cited do not show that Mary is the mother of God. Why does no one attempt to refute those specific passages?
