Answer the question I asked. If we are to emulate Christ and Christ loved and honored his mother, who was Mary, what part of that can’t you grasp? Was he lying? You don’t believe him?

If we follow simple logic, it goes like this:

We are to emulate Christ (true).
Christ loved and honored His mother (true).
Therefore, we should honor and love OUR mothers.

Now that is a logical progression. You make a leap of logic that is not supported by the statements. You deduce that because Christ honored His mother, we should also honor His mother, but the logical conclusion is that we should likewise honor OUR mothers if we emulate Christ.

As Christians we will accord Mary what she is due as noted by the Word.

She was favored by God to give birth to Christ.

She is the mother of Jesus.

She is counted as blessed.
