This post isn’t biblical? Good grief it’s the Wedding at Cana where Jesus worked his first miracle.

Mary said to him “They have no wine.”

After Jesus replied she simple said (and her last words in the Bible for all of us!) “Do whatever he tells you.”

What’s not biblical about that?

“What’s not biblical about that?”

That is finally a good question.

That something is *in* the Bible is very different than whether the Bible *teaches* something.

The wedding at Cana is recorded *in* the Bible. The interpretation in your post is *not* taught in the Bible.

That Jesus performed His first miracle at this wedding does *not* teach:

That Jesus always obeys his mother.
That Jesus performed the miracle only because Mary asked him to do something.
That a Christian should ask Mary anything.
That Mary or any other departed saint can hear such a prayer.
That Mary has any reason to pray for such a request.
That Jesus is under any obligation to listen to a such a request and grant it.

All of that is *not* Biblical. The event is recorded in the Bible. The opinion put forth in your post is not Biblical.
