Virgin [Mary], sporting a crown, robe and scapular and cradling baby Jesus in her arms

...whenever I hear of this Mary...she is always cradling baby Jesus... Our Paul minister received from the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit) the words that said: 2 Corinthians 5:16 "Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him NO MORE [after the flesh].

Paul is ONLY talking about Christ after the flesh as a fully grown man... not a baby.

Christ, as a baby, ended in Luke 2:7,12,17...Christ was not on the CROSS as a baby... but as the full grown Son of God.

Read the Bible, the Word of God in 2 Corinthians 5:16.

Tell me where else the Word of God says that Jesus remained a baby...

Tell me why Christ is called Son of God, and not ever Baby of God...

Tell me what advantage to believers today have by remembering Christ Jesus as a baby and not a fully mature Son of God.

That’s exactly what I’ve been wondering for years. Why is Christ always seen as a baby, in Mary’s arms? Why isn’t He “seen” sitting on the right hand of God, which is where He is. Not only that, but we know that He has a resurrected body, with the wound in His side.

More importantly, while our Lord was a child the scriptures always refers to him first, never as "mother and child". Please consider the following passages:

It’s a Godly Kodak moment. It is a supernatural image moment. Remember St John’s Apocalypes or Book of Revelation. John was in the Spirit. Meaning pure spirit not in the physical. He saw the past, present and future. Like One. It reads about the dragon after the woman(Israel ,The Church and Mary) in history. Also the famous rebellion( third of the angels) like it was happening new in front of St John. But John was born after that time. See you can’t put God in a Box. If you do just look up at the clear sky at night with all the stars and wonder how awesome this God truly is. You will soon realize you can’t put him in a Box.
