That's right!
Even Jesus has to "honor" His mother!
It's one of His Father's Commandments (not a "suggestion"! LOL!).

How do protestants honor Mary?
Jesus said "follow me". That means we have to be like Him, that means we have to honor His Father and Mother.

I honor, well honored, my own father and mother. But not Jesus' mother? Is Jesus not your Brother with God being your Father? What does that make Jesus' mother to you? |

I have thousands of brothers in Christ, that doesn't make their parents my parents.

I have thousands of brothers in Christ, that doesn't make their parents my parents. But the question was, if Jesus is your brother and God is your Father, what does that make Mary? And, what would that make Mary to all those brothers in Christ too (like in Revelation 12:17 when it calls she who bore Jesus the mother of all Christians)? |

Mary would be Jesus's mother. Just like my brother in Christ Cory's mother is Cindy, and my brother in Christ Mark's mother is Billie. They are not my mothers. My mom's name is Debbie.

But, why are brothers in Christ related? And, what does that make the mother of Christ to brothers in Christ? Remember, you are not brothers in Emily or Cory, but in Christ so it is His mother that becomes His brethren's mother. |

Also, what is it that makes brethren in Christ brethren in Christ? The shared "Father", right? So, what does that say about the person who is The Mother of Christ? |

Mary didn't give birth to me. She is not my mother. God is my Father, not my physical father who helped in the giving birth thing to me.

Mary didn't give birth to me. She is not my mother. God is my Father, not my physical father who helped in the giving birth thing to me. So, you do not testify to Jesus Christ as in Revelation 12:17? And, isn't Jesus your "life"? If Jesus is your life, and He came out of Mary's womb, doesn't your "life" come from Mary's womb making her your mother? Revelation 12:17
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, This is Mary since she was the only "woman" to give birth to Jesus Christ and He even referred to her as "woman". and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, Her seed are those who've been given everlasting life by their faith in her Son, Jesus Christ.which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.This is proof that Christians are her "offspring" making them her children and her their mother because Christians keep the Commandments of God and have the testimony of Christ.Do you disagree with any of this scripture? If so, who is this woman? It cannot be Israel because Israel does NOT have the testimony of Christ...only Christians do. |

It is definlty not Mary but the nation of Israel.

It is definlty not Mary but the nation of Israel. Impossible. The Nation of Israel doesn't have the Testimony of Jesus Christ when Jesus was ressurected. Remember? They rejected Him. And they still reject Him even until this day, so they definitely couldn't have been those who had the Testimony of Jesus Christ when Jesus went up to heaven in that verse. |

It is definlty not Mary but the nation of Israel. So, since it cannot be Israel, and only 1 woman meets that criteria (gave birth to Christ and fled to the wilderness for 3 1/2 years to avoid peresecution like Mary did when she went to Egypt), who else can it be? Only Mary gave birth to Christ in The Word of God. Israel is called a "barren woman" in scripture. She cannot produce children. |

Jesus came out of the tribe of Judah, so Israel is also the mother of Christ.

Your unbiblical belief (that Mary is not the mother of Jesus Christ) contradicts The Word of God!
Luke 1:31
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
