Why we must take Mary as our mother!

[Markwsmith2020]

Why we ( Christians ) must take Mary as our mother according to the Bible!
When the Bible uses a personal name that scripture only applies to that person as in, then came John the Baptist saying the kingdom of God is at hand, it only refers to John, but when the Bible says disciple it refers to all disciples!

John 19:26-27
When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
John the disciple obeyed! We also obey Jesus Christ!

 

[Hammster]

I’m not John, so....

 

[Markwsmith2020]

You did not read my post, the Bible does not say John, it says disciple, are you a disciple? Then Mary is your mother, the mother of our Savior, the mother of God, if she's good enough to be the mother if God, is she not good enough to be your mother?

The disciple Jesus loved is John. It’s how he referred to himself. This is confirmed when it says that John took her into his home.

And it doesn’t even say that she became John’s Mom.

John 19:26-27
When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

The Bible does not say John! It says the disciple! You reject Jesus Christ and the Bible!

 

[Citizen of the Kingdom]

Then why does the bible say our mother (those of the promise) is the New Jerusalem?

 

[Hammster]

John the disciple obeyed! We also obey Jesus Christ!

John 19:26-27
When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

The Bible does not say John! It says the disciple! You reject Jesus Christ and the Bible!

So which is it?

 

[Markwsmith2020]

Gal 4 I presume, both the church and the mother of the church!

Jesus didn't say Mary was everyone's mother.

 

[Markwsmith2020]

No not everyone only His disciples

 

[Hammster]

No not everyone only His disciples

That would be everyone in this thread. And it never says that His disciples were to take her as their mother, not even the 11.

 

[Markwsmith2020]

If you don't know what disciple means then you can also find it in
Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, (her children) which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ, that's us Christ's disciples!

Knowing what disciple means does not change what the verse means in John.

 

[disciple1]

No not everyone only His disciples

John chapter 8 verse 31
To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.

A pastors teaching is not the same thing, there's a lot of lying and stealing pastors, you have to study the bible.

I verse 32 it says then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.

 

[Hieronymus]

Nice bit if reading things into the text..

 

[Phil 1:21]

John 13:22-24 22 His disciples stared at one another, at a loss to know which of them he meant. 23 One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him. 24 Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said, “Ask him which one he means.”

John 19:26-27 26 When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,” 27 and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.

John 21:7 7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. John 21:7

John 21:20-21 20 Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”) 21 When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”

According to the logic of the OP, those all refer to us.

 

[Phil 1:21]

According to the logic of the OP, those all refer to us.

That's the danger of eisegesis.

 

[Markwsmith2020]

John 19: 27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home!

Verse 27 does not say "whom He loved" only disciple, therefore it must refer to all disciples, sorry!
If your a disciple ( by baptism ) then Jesus says to you also, behold your mother!

Tradition that opposes and is different from God's Word, but that is taught as if it is true,
is often very difficult to overcome.
