John, in his Gospel, stated, "Jesus therefore had seen his mother"

What part of that do you not understand. Was John lying? Was Mary not Jesus' Mother? Or is the Bible in error? Or is Jesus not God?

Dominus tecum

“What part of that do you not understand. Was John lying? Was Mary not Jesus’ Mother? Or is the Bible in error? Or is Jesus not God?”

Mary was his earthly mother.

That doesn’t not mean she created God.

She bore God. She didn’t create God through conception. Jesus existed as God from all eternity.

The verse you quote does not give Mary the title Mother of God. That is a human addition to what God said.

Best.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say. No one here said that Mary was not the mother of Jesus - I think everyone accepts that as fact. But just what do you think this verse is supposed to prove, other than Jesus made provision for Mary to be cared for by John, as a son cares for his own mother?
