Good grief. Nothing in the passage you cite indicates Jesus gave all of us Mary. The Greek, as in so many of these cases, is against the catholic.

She is not the Christians "spiritual" mother. For the Catholic to insist otherwise is eisegesis.....reading into the text something that's not there.

Perhaps if catholics studied the Greek and not Latin they might get it.

on one point you're correct. I cannot stop the Catholic from worshipping and bowing down and praying to the idols they call Mary.

But for the readers of these posts who do not participate in the conversation it might shed light on the false religion called roman catholicism.

If one is not a beloved disciple, I can understand such as not honoring blessed Mary, the mother of "God with us."

Ah, the Greek religion; if one studied the Greek he might become Orthodox, and so Catholic.

Catholics do not worship, bow down to, or pray to idols. Perhaps you are ignorant of what an idol is, or perhaps you write this on purpose because Catholics are one of the few groups against whom one can be biased and prejudiced. AntiCatholicism does not make one a Christian.

Is why you post on FreeRepublic ?

That's why I left it. I couldn't handle all the false doctrines. You have the patience of Job bro. Keep up the good work. 😇
It reminds of John 12:38. that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed? It doesn't return to Him void.
