Good questions. Remember that Jesus' own brothers did not believe at first! None of them were His disciples either! That in itself is interesting and thought provoking. Salvation is not inherited through family association! We could speculate all day about why Jesus chose John, obviously, He knew what was best and John was it! Also, from what I read, there is disagreement about the life of Mary (when and where she died, etc) after Jesus' death. Bottom line is this: anything or anyone who becomes the object of our love and devotion ahead of Jesus Christ is an idol. And we don't have to bow down before it for something to become one! Regardless of of one's religious tradition, Mary was blessed among women, but there is nothing in Scripture to support that she was any more than just a woman, like you or me. She needed a Savior too! I think that the warning Jesus issued in Revelation 2:4,5 can be applied to any situation or relationship that diminishes our love and devotion to Him FIRST! Blessings to you and thanks for responding to my "note!" |

Interesting observations, make sense. Of course later James and Jude believed and wrote the gospels too tho, wonder what that family relationship was? Oh well, guess we'll find out when we get to Heaven! I agree anything can become idols including job, football, money, etc. I guess so can food and computer. :) Those are my main problems lately. :) I'll be good for a few days, then go on a sweet binge to make up for it-why can't I be delivered from sweets...:) |
