All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

Mother, Spiritual

"The Jerusalem abouve is free, which is the mother of us all." Gal. 4:26

The mother draws the children to herself; and we seek our mother, the church.

The mother is not, as some say, the essence from which we sprang, nor, as others teach, the church. Rather, it is the divine knoledge and Wisdom, as Solomon says, when he calls Wisdom "the mother of the just."

Two questions regarding:

Wisdom "the mother of the just."

What verse are you refering to and what translation are you reading from?

Thanks,

I'm sorry, but your response does not address either of my two questions. You said Solomon said of Wisdom "the mother of the just." Then you post a quote from Paul. How does this answer the first part of my question. I am struggling to see how you are connecting the dots.

Also, I would like to know the version of the BIble you are quoting from regarding "the mother of the just."

Thanks in advance,
