So do you believe Jesus already knew the future, and how many of the RC's would put her on the same level as Him, and some would prefer praying to her over Him, and the pope would be petitioned to officially promote her to co-redeemer?

Essentially ... yes, because he knew the extent of our fallen human nature.

Could that explain why there doesn't seem to be even one affectionate sounding communique between Jesus and his mother?

Not that he held any animosity toward her, because she certainly didn't ask for the position she was put in, but it seems Jesus went out of his way not to encourage it, and that there would be nothing that could be pointed to later, saying He promoted it?


I would tend to think that ... yes, JESUS wouldn't want to do anything to encourage this.

Of course, I note that these particular interchanges were not exactly private.

Scripture?

So do you believe Jesus already knew the future, and how many of the Protestants would put a book on the same level as Him, and some would prefer simply reading about Him over actually worshiping Him, and their leaders would be petitioned to equate reading about Him to actually knowing Him?

Could that explain why there doesn't seem to be even one time that Jesus demands a book be written?

Not that he holds any animosity toward the Bible, because it certainly doesn't demand the position it was put in, but it seems Jesus went out of his way not to encourage it, and that there would be nothing that could be pointed to later, saying He promoted it?
