"Wow, have you studied anything outside of grammar school? When is research ever limited to one signal source material?You compiled?" Come ON! YOU added the word in there, and then use the word "compiled" to try and make it seem as if you didn't totally try to pass that word off as being PART of the BLB definition. Please!
Anyway, as long as that's out in the open.
That is not how it works. Two things you do not seem to understand. Not all words from the Ancient Greek have the same punch or meaning in the modern dialect. The second, there are several words in the Greek for "woman" Simply asking if calling your mother a "woman" is an insult? is foolish. You need to use the exact word Christ used, in the context it was given, while considering the time frame in which it was said.Is there a Greek in the house? Someone willing to actually explain if mothers have ever been called "woman." Or if it's respectable to do so?
Understand the bible was not written to you so the scenarios do not directly translate to the culture you are accustom to.
Get couple lexicon/concordances and put on your trunks.My head would literally spin if the answer to that was "yes." I would not only dunk myself in holy water, but literally back paddle in it for an hour.
Jesus Mother and Brothers
46 While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. 47 Someone told him, Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you. 48 He replied to him, Who is my mother, and who are my brothers? 49 Pointing to his disciples, he said, Here are my mother and my brothers. 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.
The word mother here is the close or intimate word for "mother" like Ma ma in the English. "Who is my mother" or Who is my Ma ma?He completely denied Mary as being His mother.
He does not disrespect his Mother here. I simply refers to her in the formal or non intimate way. Because He is putting more value/intimate value on the relationship with his followers, rather than his birth mother. Which follows Christian Doctrine.He says, and then follows it NOT by pointing to Mary, but rather His disciples.
