Refuting Dan Corner of Evangelical Outreach on Mary part 1

                                             "Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you!" (Luke 1:28)

 

 

FROM MR. DAN CORNER OF EVANGELICAL OUTREACH:

Also remember that at least one time, the Lord denied Mary’s request to talk to him:



While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.” He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” (Mat 12:46-50)

Mr. Dan Corner is trying to imply that Mary did not do the will of God and thus do not belong to God's family, which is not supported by Scriptural basis. Notice that the Lord didn't deny Mary, rather He introduced a new kind of family wherein not only Mary, but also believers in Christ may join it and this one family has, "One hope, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is Lord of all, who works through all and is in all" (Ephesians 4:4-6) and we know that this is the Church, "which is the Pillar and Ground of the Truth" (1 Timothy 3:15) in which the fires of Hell will not prevail (Matthew 16:18).
