Been a while since I posted, but I am working through a couple of theological concepts and would like some thoughtful discussion:
1. Did Jesus consider Mary as His mother in a conventional sense?
a. He was never recorded as calling her “mother”.
b. He basically deemphasized his relationship with His mother and brothers and contextualize them into the greater family of God (Scripture on demand)
2. Was Jesus, as the 2nd Adam, formed from incorruptible flesh?
a. If He was formed of the same substance as Mary, He would have been formed using her corrupted genetic material.
b. If He was implanted as a fully formed perfect human embryo it would avoid 2a.
d. Would His implantation as a perfect human embryo also resolve the Roman Catholic conundrum of the “immaculate conception of Mary”?
Thanks for your considered responses.
