Is Mary the mother of all?

Jesus gave John, the beloved aposle, as Mary’s son, to represent “Mary as the mother of those who believe”. She is the mother of the church.

Not only that, but she is also the Mother of God, the Theotokos.

I would say yep!

I call her the Divine Mother, but my kids laugh at me (ages 9 and 12) and say I’m calling Momma Mary a goddess when I do that. I don’t think so, though.

Is she called this (‘Mother of God’) in the Holy Scriptures, or by anyone in the Holy Scriptures?

Are you supposed to capitalize the “M” like that?

Why? Is she “Divine” (adj.) with a capital “D” and “M”?

Wesbter’s states, " DIVINE , adjective [Latin , a god.]", and EtyOnline says, "… from Latin divinus “of a god,” from divus “of or belonging to a god, …related to deus “god, deity” …”

Do you believe Jesus is God?

Aside from that, it’s standard English to capitalize titles used in place of a name.

Actually, Mary as the archetype of the Church/New Jerusalem is a common connection.

Really? What is your source for that statement? Please produce that here. Thank you, as I would like to see it.
 
I prayed to her calling her “mommy” in times of fear and desperation. She listened to me apparently was not upset in me calling her mommy.

Jesus is the only begotten Son of God (the Father; John 1:14). He is “the man” “Christ Jesus” (I Tim. 2:5). He is also eternal “God” (not the person of the Father, neither the person of the Holy Spirit).

God (Deity) does not have beginning, but is eternal and always existing, “I AM”), and being “without father” (humanly speaking) “without mother” (divinely speaking), as Heb. 7:3 shares. The humanity of Jesus has a mother, a beginning, as per, Gal. 4:4. A “mother” speaks to that which is born of the flesh, and not of the spirit, as per John 3:6.

Therefore, would you mind answering the question directly please?

Is she called this (‘Mother of God’) in the Holy Scriptures, or by anyone in the Holy Scriptures?

Also, can you now show me the word “theotokos” in the Holy Scriptures, please?

I know about Luke 1:43, wherein Elizabeth makes the statement about the Messiah, and the Throne of David, her “Lord”. The word used is not “theou”. Even in the Latin it is Domini, not Deus.

Why do you put quotes at she? Isn’t Mary supposed to be referred as she since she is a woman?

The question would be, How do you actually know it is scriptural “Mary” who “hears” you? And how is such able to “hear” all such prayers directed to such?

Whether the help (was for me to be able to make it to confession because the church’s hours and work had nothing in common and of course send me the courage to say what I had to say) was done by God in her name or by herself is irrelevant. If God would not want me to ask for Mary’s help He wouldn’t send help in her name. So as long as the prayer was answered and I asked her for help, afaik she helped me.
The point is to please and make peace with God not figure out a “mechanism” that He uses because if I knew for certain how such a “mechanism” would come into being then I would be God. And I am sure I am not.

Is “confession” (auricular) that which God wants? How do you know this? That would answer how you would know if the ‘help’ sent was heavenly or not, yes?

I would not deny you received ‘help’ in answer to such ‘prayer’. I am simply asking how do you know it is heavenly and godly help?

The reply also doesn’t really address how the one receiving the ‘prayer’ is able to ‘hear’ it.
