So what make you of the 2John letter written to Mary?

I see a letter to a woman, that is perceived to be Mary, because it is addressed to the "woman chosen by God". But, who is the sister in verse 13, also "chosen by God"?

Either way, the woman in the beginnings has lots of children, her literal children, not nieces and nephews. But, it is in verse 3 that I see the most significant words. "3 Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Father’s Son, will be with us in truth and love. There is NO reference to a motherhood of Jesus, only the Fatherhood of God!

It does more to negate the Mariology and subsequent idolization of her by the Roman Catholic cult. They never have made any solid Scriptural references to justify their cultic behavior.

Oh yeah, another thought I almost forgot. There is an admonition to the woman to "8 Watch out that you do not lose what we have worked for, but that you may be rewarded fully.

That seems also to destroy the idea of an allegedly sinless mary they continually hype!
