The technicalities of what a mother should be is not the point
of discussion. My point of argument is merely from the scriptural
angle whereby the gospels, plus a couple of other verses, state
clearly the Mary is the mother of Jesus. The moment we get beyond
that, than we will be stepping into the realm of the unknowns -
then there is no answer.
But to humour you - why Mary? for that matter why woman? For the
reason, only a woman can bear a human child? Then your point about
DNA may not hold too much water afterall, seeing that the foetus
will require the various conditions found solely in the human
embryo (my medical terms are a bit rusty). Like you said, scripture
is silent over this, but scripture is NOT silent about Mary's
relationship with Jesus, one of mother and son.
I am too, but the newly promoted moderator is also very silent
on this. All the mods can offer are just emotive postulating,
ranging from just a mere "I don't believe" or "read the Bible" to
an outright deletion of of threads. Doesn't this show a complete
lack of knowledge of scripture plus the inability to answer any
questions. It also shows a complete lack of maturity for these
moderators to take on this role.
Unfortunately the moderator/s have the view that the mere
mention of Mary equates to being Catholic. I also find it strange
that the opinions of the moderator/s have no scriptural backing,
are at best weird, at worst heretic.
Lesson to the moderators, have a good read at oxford mushroom's
writing. His is a good way to present an opposing view, something
that neither of you are capable of.
