And this type of “progressive” mentality - if it were back in the day - would be supporting some feminist mob calling for the “compassionate” abortion of God Himself due to Mary’s “unfortunate situation”.

I wonder too just why Jesus had to give His mother to His beloved apostle, John, for care until her death, from the cross itself, at the moment of His own death, IF He had so many “brethren” (or literal, brothers, as interpreted by the other “progressives” here rather than the researched common usage of the term at the time) who would have
naturally had that responsibility, esp. within the Orthodox Jewish Faith. Of course, just as this “preacher” does, apparently others here must, in this matter as well, rely only upon the limitations of the “literal” current interpretations by the skeptics.

Pick and choose your personal area for limiting God’s Holy Will!! It’s in fashion!!

You're in luck...All you have to do is get on a bus to Wal-Mart and pick yourself up a cheap bible, and read it...

Unlike religions that make stuff up and call it 'tradition', this information can actually be found in the written words of God...

The Apostle John was the most loved and trusted of the Apostles...

At the time of, and leading up to the the Crucifixion, Jesus' brothers did not believe in Jesus as the Son of God...Jesus wanted a Christian to look after His mom...So Jesus appointed His most trusted friend, John to look after her...

Besides, John was the only Apostle there...Peter and the rest of the bunch chickened out and didn't want to be caught any where near the Crucifixion...
