there is no scripture that even comes close to indicate that Mary is the "mother" of all of us "You then are the body of Christ. Every one of you is a member of it" "you have 'put on' Christ" "incorporated into Christ" Not even "comes close"?

Not even close. When I talk to Mary in the kingdom of God I'll ask her if I should consider her my mother. I'm sure she'll blush and humbly say "Who taught you that nonsense?".

[Wordsmith]

I'm sure she'll blush and humbly say "Who taught you that nonsense?".

So I assume you believe that the saints in heaven do not have any awareness of what is happening here, and will need us to fill them in on current events when we join them?

I hope you won't be too surprised when she says, "Of course I'm your Mother. Go to your room!"
