“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.
I pity you Protestants, for it seems your Bibles do not have footnotes that are approved.
What I posted is valid Catholic teaching....You cannot accuse me of these additional things is absurd. Good night.
Jewish weddings were steeped in tradition and ritual. One of the customs was providing an extravagant feast for guests. Something went wrong at this wedding, however, because they ran out of wine early. In that culture, such a miscalculation would have been a great humiliation for the bride and groom.
Mary turned to Jesus and said,
"They have no more wine."
"Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied. "My time has not yet come."
His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you." (John 2:3-5, NIV)
Nearby were six stone jars filled with water used for ceremonial washing. Jews cleansed their hands, cups, and vessels with water before meals. Each large pot held from 20 to 30 gallons.
Jesus told the servants to fill the jars with water. He ordered them to draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet, who was in charge of food and drink. The master was unaware of Jesus' turning the water in the jars into wine.
The steward was astounded. He took the bride and groom aside and complimented them. Most couples served the best wine first, he said, then brought out cheaper wine after the guests had too much to drink and would not notice. "You have saved the best till now," he told them (John 2:10, NIV).
By this miraculous sign, Jesus revealed his glory as the Son of God. His amazed disciples put their faith in him.
How’s this for biblical:
>>I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel. Genisis 3:15<<
