Is Mary mother of the Church?
If only the Apostle who was charged to be a son to Mary by Jesus, would address her in his letter to the 7 churches within his Prologue, Greetings and Doxology.
Read and accept please,
1The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place.
He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, 2who testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Rev 1:1-2)
Everything he saw and was instructed to dispense to THE CHURCH, OK fair enought!
Where is Mary?
MIA (missing in action)
Therefore, Mary cannot be the mother of THE CHURCH, since the last book summarises and reveals the entire faith of the entire Biblios by the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Got it!
Is Mary the mother of all Christians?
The title spiritual mother has never been advocated throughout the Old Testament and the New Testament and it has to be scrutinised in relation to the implausibility of the first question
Is Mary the Mother of the Church?.
The absence of Mary within the addressing of the Church and the advocation of a title "mother of the Church" context is most disconcerting, to say the least.
Did God hold back revealing this title until the 3rd or 4th centuries or is it a case of mistaken in identity and that she has no place in all of the Apostolic writings, that would at least even hint at the possibility that she is a spiritual mother in any sense of the title mother of the Church.
How could have the apostles missed such an important title and forgot to mention her as the mother of the Church in their prologue, greetings and doxology letters that account for the majority of the New Testament formal letters, in addressing the entire Church?
Apostle Peter did not mention her in his prologue, greetings and doxology letters.
Apostle Paul did not mention her in his prologue, greetings and doxology letters.
Apostle John did not mention her in his prologue, greetings and doxology letters.
Apostle James did not mention her in his prologue, greetings and doxology letters.
Apostle Jude did not mention her in his prologue, greetings and doxology letter.
Not to mention the authors of the four gospels and the bookend, that is the Revelation of Jesus Christ that encapsulates the entire Biblios concerning the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
We cannot entertain a title that is not explicitly and repeatedly mentioned and clarified by the mouth of at least two 1st Century Apostolic witnesses and this is something that all devote and God-fearing Christians should apply as the litmus test to the questions of the thread topic. I do not see any rationale headways being made towards those who are set in their religious dogmatic doctrinal ways that are at odds with the 1st Century apostolic teachings and this to the entire Christian world should be of most important concern.
We contend with JWs and Mormons all the time and we note their dogmatic approach in the face of overwhelming truth being revealed to them in spades, but they continue in their errors, so
what can we do for the Marians (Mary Camp) that we cannot do for the JWs and the Mormons?
I do not know and I believe that I have done all I am permitted to do whilst being shunned and treated unrespectfully because I love Christ and love not Mary. I do not know Mary on a personal relationship spiritual basis and do not wish to either because salvation is not about her. I can only give her the respect that God gave her and nothing more.
If God and the Apostles explicitly stated that she is our spiritual mother then we are obligated under instruction to all be Marians.
