Not her opinion on the matter but her free will to consent or reject our salvation!What difference would her opinion make in the matter of our salvation ?
God sent an angel to her to let her know what He was doing with her.
(What a strange question.)
I don't beleive your POV.Children of another Mary!
Mk 15:40 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
Matthew 27:56
Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.
Acts 4:36
And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,
(Cannot be Mary’s child, Mary was of the tribe of Judah and the royal house of David the king!) Lk 1:32-33
Is Mary the mother of James?
If you mean the Blessed Virgin Mary then no. Her sister-in-law, Mary of Clopas, was the wife of Alphaeus (St. Joseph's brother), and mother of Simon, Joseph, and the apostles Judas Thaddeus, and James (the Less, brother of the Lord): Jesus' cousins.
Martin Luther
It is an article of faith that Mary is Mother of the Lord and still a virgin. … Christ, we believe, came forth from a womb left perfectly intact. (Weimer’s The Works of Luther, English translation by Pelikan, Concordia, St. Louis, v. 11, pp. 319-320; v. 6. p. 510.)
Note: an article of faith is required for salvation.
John Calvin
(On the Heretic Helvidius) Helvidius displayed excessive ignorance in concluding that Mary must have had many sons, because Christ’s “brothers” are sometimes mentioned. (Harmony of Matthew, Mark and Luke, sec. 39 [Geneva, 1562], vol. 2 / From Calvin’s Commentaries, translated by William Pringle, Grand Rapids, Michigan: Eerdmans, 1949, p.215; on Matthew 13:55)
[On Matt 1:25:] The inference he [Helvidius] drew from it was, that Mary remained a virgin no longer than till her first birth, and that afterwards she had other children by her husband . . . No just and well-grounded inference can be drawn from these words . . . as to what took place after the birth of Christ. He is called “first-born”; but it is for the sole purpose of informing us that he was born of a virgin . . . What took place afterwards the historian does not inform us . . . No man will obstinately keep up the argument, except from an extreme fondness for disputation. (Pringle, ibid., vol. I, p. 107)
Under the word “brethren” the Hebrews include all cousins and other relations, whatever may be the degree of affinity. (Pringle, ibid., vol. I, p. 283 / Commentary on John, [7:3])
John Wesley
‘I believe that He [Jesus] was made man, joining the human nature with the divine in one person; being conceived by the singular operation of the Holy Ghost, and born of the blessed Virgin Mary, who, as well after as before she brought Him forth, continued a pure and unspotted virgin’ (‘Letter to a Roman Catholic’, The Works of Rev. John Wesley, vol 10, p. 81).
Lk 1:34 no sex period!
...declared to John.Jesus does not make Mary our mother, He declares her to be so! Jn 19:26 also rev 12:17
Hardly.If Jesus is our salvation, and Mary is his mother, then she must be the mother of our salvation!
Jesus was the Word.If Jesus is God, and Mary his mother she must be the mother of God as scripture says Lk 1:43!
Reject our salvation ?Not her opinion on the matter but her free will to consent or reject our salvation
What are you talking about ?God will that as a virgin thru a fallen angel consented to our fall
Mary obeyed God.It was fitting that a virgin thru and angel consent to our salvation, and to be the mother of Christ even though she has a vow of perpetual virginity!
John represents all disciples...declared to John.
Not to me.
not equality but relationshipHardly.
As a Christian, I cannot in good faith elevate anyone to equality with Jesus.
That is idolatry.
Jesus was the Word.
God doesn't need a mom.
You say.John represents all disciples
“To the disciple standing there”
