No, you haven't misunderstood and maybe I am confused. Yes, I am confused. Is Mary not the part that bore the flesh part of Jesus? While the Spirit, God. Making Jesus Christ, the Son, God in the flesh. Mary was a flesh vessel, yes. First we are born of flesh. I have an earthly Mother and Father. Then we are born of God. Spirit. Mary can not be a mother of that born of Spirit. The word says: Galatians 4:26
[26] But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
You see, this is why Catholics say that Mary was conceived immaculately. Although it erases some problems, like this one, it does cause others.
All of us have a flesh mother and a spirit Father.
Only Jesus' Father was God Father.
Our father is human and our mother is human and, at some point, the spirit in us MIGHT wake up and begin to know God, who made that spirit and dwells within it. I'd have to agree that Mary cannot be the mother of the spirit of Jesus.
I believe we agree on everything here. If something comes to mind, I'll post again. Mary, flesh, is the mother. The Holy Spirit, spirit is the spirit part of Jesus. He was born of the Spirit, His advantage over us.
Matthew 12:48-50
[48] But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? [49] And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! [50] For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
I read the below, let me just say that, yes, Jesus is saying that those in the Kingdom of God, here on earth, will be as those in the Kingdom in the New Jerusalem, the New Earth. We will all be one in Jesus, there will be no difference in spirit, although we will know each other as who we were in relationship. But that will NOT be the emotion; the emotion we feel will be the spirit of God. I guess the Holy Spirit and HIS emotions. Our paraclete finally met face to face!
To me, Jesus is saying those that do the will of the Father belong to the family of the Kingdom of God. Isn't He speaking of inheriting many brothers and sisters in Christ? Isn't Jesus stating: these that do the Father's will IS Kin. Yes, loving that of earth less. But also inheriting that of Heaven. Matthew 19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
Yes. AMEN!
