She was a virgin ,until she wasn’t 😂

Every girl is a virgin before she has sexual relations. The Bible is clear that Joseph had not 'known her' until after the birth of Jesus. Mary was with the apostles for years and she was the perfect witness of her condition physically. She had not reason to tell lies.

What is this religious preoccupation with hymen and foreskin?

BS

History mentions nothing bout Jewish nothing on hieroglyphs Nothing Greek history Nothing Roman using your brains that puts the time bout from 0 to 100 AD IT IS MYTHOLOGY MYTHOLOGICAL CHARACTERS

Good 👍

So basically, the Exodus didn't happen historically? This is why i stopped putting all my faith in the bible. They can add, take away and change the text as they saw fit.. Then write everything from the southern perspective in the Persian and Greek periods.. BUT make you was written way back then through prophets that most likely didn't exist.

Hahaha god went inside Mary without her consent 😅

People have such perversion about virginity. It is so important in this context to make the story of a God-Man perfect. In historical context who in the hell know if this unknown mother was a virgin or not. Did someone examine her when she fell pregnant? And who cared, they had no idea who the baby was. Only one in thousands. However, it is a mythology about a God- Man, so he had to be immaculately conceived, othewise he wouldn't be qualified as a God.

Off course so like Santa is

Thank you, I think religion has had enough now and we should pack it away. Science is the best tool we have at the moment to understand the world.

Your analysis raises some intriguing academic points, but it overlooks several critical considerations. First, it dismisses the theological claim of Mary’s virginity without thoroughly addressing counterarguments from traditions that affirm it as both historical and theological truth. Additionally, comparing the virgin birth to mythology, like Heracles, risks trivializing its sacred and unique significance-a central tenet for billions of believers. I firmly believe Mary was a virgin because the Quran explicitly states: “She said, ‘How can I have a son when no man has touched me, nor am I unchaste?’ He said, ‘Thus it will be. Your Lord says, It is easy for Me.’” (Quran 19:20-21). The Quran is the word of God, proven by its unmatched linguistic beauty, fulfilled prophecies, and insights into truths unknown at the time of its revelation. It is beyond human error and interpolation, providing absolute certainty. While historical-critical methods offer interesting perspectives, they are no match for the truth revealed by God. The Quran remains the ultimate, unaltered guide for anyone seeking truth. As for the Bible, while it does contain divine truths, it has been interspersed with human errors and interpolations over time, leading to the contradictions and discrepancies that are evident today. And really, if you're going to challenge a text, why not pick on one your own size-like the Quran? It’s stood for over 1,400 years, proving itself time and time again as divine revelation. That’s a challenge no historical method or human philosophy can overcome.

does anyone in the bible worship a trinity? ever?.......so y do u?

Hinduism philosophy inspired matrix. They even used navras in movie

Paul Tillich, in his three volumes of Systematic theology, did nothing more than prove he was insane, a racist, and as much a duplicitous promoter of God as Satan was/is. He was a war frightened nut whose ultimate concern was about how white men could be at war with white men, and kill other white men with weapons capable of destroying the world. And, if the white man was capable of destroying the world, he must be God! Therefore Tillich reasoned that God, like him, must also be in conflict at times with himself. This lead to one of his most famous statements in his pseudo-theological trash trilogy: " A God who is Father and NOT Lord is sentimental, and a God who is Lord and not father is demonic! Now note this: Tillich says that in order for God to exist He must be both Lord and Father to be God! Put another in the same above context: God must also be the Devil...in order to be God! This is why Tillich freely partied and socially engaged with the drug using homosexuals and sexually perverse uber- rich devils of the Hamptons; no different from the homosexual parites, drug use, big money, and women abuse that so-called Bishop T.D. Jakes so dearly sought to be a part of...under the cloak of religion. Tillich, nor his philosophy, ever did one thing for hurt people, or the families one to two generations out of slavery! This is why Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr dismantled Tillich's damn non-sense effectively with A Letter From A Birmingham Jail.

Mary was a virgin, but Mary wasn't the only Virgin, most unmarried young women back then were all virgins. But Mary was the most humble among all other virgins that's what Mary said. Luke 1:48

Jesus never said that he had a mother, Jesus only said he had a Father. Jesus never said that Mary was his mother, Jesus always called Mary by her gender, "a WOMAN". Not Mother. John 2:4 and John19:26... When Jesus was informed that his mother and brethren were waiting outside to speak with him, Jesus replied: "Who is my Mother." Matt 12:48. There aren't any scriptures that say, Jesus is the Son of God and Mary. If Mary was the mother of Jesus, and she wasn't the wife of God, then according to God's laws Jesus would be an illegitimate son of Mary...Was Mary the wife of God? if not, then Mary could not have been the Mother of Jesus. Mary never said that Jesus was her Son, in fact what Mary said was that God {Jesus} was her savior, not her Son. Luke 1:47. If Mary was the mother of Jesus, thank goodness for Mary, because without her Jesus wouldn't exist. The only reason Jesus descended from heavens was to Proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God. Luke 4:43, and finally to be sacrificed for our sins...Not because Jesus was looking for a mother.

Wow, this is really good. Concise and clear. Thanks.

Yes mary was a virgin when god the father through the holy Spirit make her pregant, but there is a passage in Matthew 1:25 and did not know her till she brought forth her first born son, obviously they are husband & wife, ( did not know her ) means they did not co- habit or Joseph made sex with her,. The use of first born means they have 2nd,.born, 3rd, born etc, yes jesus has 3 step bros, & 3 half sisters

I assume she was a virgin before she had sex with Josef. But who knows.

I bet he will not talk about Jesus and that naked little boy he was caught with. Smh the story is talking about you and your journey to birth until death. Put the energy n worship into yourself and treat EVERYONE as yourself.

In what seminal works does Habermas outline these points?

Corny, but informative vid

Is that a faux leather reclining sofa?

You hinted at it, but W.C. Smith would say that there is no such "thing" as religion.

Thank you. Dr. B.

very good.

So confusing 😵‍💫

For know YES Mary was a virgin what is sad is to see not 1 church knows how to teach & explain why GOD needed Mary to be a virgin. The Catholic Church for gives worship to the HOLY mother Mary for has no Ideal why Mary was a virgin. For I can teach us the reasons why for any wants get back to me thanks.

All religions are fake man made trash. The god in the bible is by far the most evil god i've ever studied though

The sound effects and editing 😂😂😂

Thank you so much for this!!!!

Great video!

Why doesn't this channel have more viewers? Such an informative video, thank you!

Jesus Christ is Lord!

Thanks. I really like your videos and find them informative. Have you ever thought about doing a Meetup where you could do a presentation and get comments or just have a discussion on a topic? I know this can be fraught with the possibility of trolls or dogmatic individuals. But perhaps with some kind of vetting (KZbin subscribers only?) or banning, it could be helpful to create a dialog. Just a thought.

❤🎉❤

Great stuff Mark. I took your threat seriously and did indeed watch the video to the very end lol 😃 - although admittedly I did watch it at 1.75 speed, which I do for pretty much all YT videos. Thanks for all the time and effort researching this and all your videos. Much appreciated matey. Also, I would love a video on the Robert Bellah book.

Thanks for this informative video

The study of religion has a historic bias in Christianity, and in particular, Protestantism.

Hey! I just came across this awesome channel, I really appreciate this content, specifically the videos dealing with Tillich’s work. Concerning him, I have a question and I don’t know how to answer it, maybe you can help me with it: Once one understands the framework and mentality of Paul Tillich, is is fair to say that he denied a physical/historical resurrection of Jesus Christ (the historical person)?

Shalom Iam indian also christian How to confirmation mary a Virgin

The fictional claim that Mary was a virgin was a propaganda claim derived from pagan myths of dieties who incarnate or reincarnate at will without any human sex. These myths were elevated to church doctrine to make the Jesus cult more appealing to a largely pagan audiences. This should be studied as propaganda not historic fact. The inconsistencies in the various Christian Gospels are proof that there was no Dr. Goebbels controlling the propaganda line, but that the Church simply cobbled together the Gospels from existing fairy tales, much as the Brothers Grimm assembled their story books. 🕎

Some said STUPIDITY?... If that was true... Luke 1:36-45... narrates that Mary visited her "COUSIN" Elizabeth... it should be narrated that Mary visited her "SISTER" Elizabeth, since no Hebrew word for COUSIN... So, why then, when the R.C.C. translated them into LATIN "AS IS" (Fratres/Sorores) knowing they meant COUSINS or RELATIVES?... so why then, the R.C.C. never correct them in the first place in the 4th Cent. A.D.?... well, that was the TRUE (Real/Authentic) STUPIDITY including the one who said it previously from his initial comment (@bernardauberson7218)... The Greek Scribbers/Translators of the 1st Cent. A.D. also did the same thing, they wrote "AS IS" (Brothers/Sisters), instead of COUSINS. The 1st German and English Scholars/Translators in the 15th to 16th Cent. A.D., also did the same thing, they wrote "AS IS" (Brothers/Sisters), instead of COUSINS. And, the rest of the World's languages, translated in their own Native TONGUE, wrote the same thing "Brothers/Sisters," instead of COUSINS. In conclusion, if that was the case, why does no one dare to correct the TRANSLATION into COUSINS" if that was true?... It should be translated... "Your Mother (Mary), and COUSINS are outside, looking for you." (ref. Mark 3:31)... but still wrote "BROTHERS / SISTERS." The TRUTH is, "BROTHERS / SISTERS" were the True Context and Meaning of the Holy Scripture (Word of God)... logically speaking... Anyone who ADD/S or SUBTRACT (take away) from this Book (written WORD of God / Holy and Inspired Scriptures including God's Prophecies) will ADD plagues to them, and their NAMES will be removed (erased) from the TREE OF LIFE"... (ref. Rev. 22:18-19)... Facts and Truth of the Matters, Biblically and Logically speaking... Praise be to God in Christ Jesus... Amen.

YES

For Me, matrix is Maya, Hinduism give us the better answer.... The Gurus give us the only salvation's... But we still in Kali Yuga 🤔.... Namaste!!!!

The Mary's watched where Joseph and Nicodemus laid the body of the Lord Jesus. They came back and found no body but the angels who declared that Christ was risen as Lord over sin, death and Satan. The Lord Jesus appeared first to Mary Magdalene, then to the other women, then to those on the road to Emmaus, then to the disciples in the upper room, etc. There is so much proof that the tomb exists, and that Christ's body was no longer in the tomb because He was risen. After that it is totally irrelevant where the tomb of Jesus is or was, but as we know the Roman Catholic church and others have made it a money making racket for people to visit what they 'think' is the tomb. It is where Christ is now that matters. He is seated at the right hand of the throne of God, everliving to make intercession for us in Heaven.

There's a difference between Confucius and Confucianism.

Nice explanation. Another problem is of course that if Jesus was the son of Mary, he would be of her tribe and therefore of the priestly tribe. But if he was the son of Joseph, he would be of the Royal lineage of the tribe of David. If Mary didn't get pregnant by Joseph, Jesus could never be the Messiah, because the Messiah is said to be of the tribe of David via Joseph. There is no way around this. But it is a nice attempt by theologians in those days, especially for believers who were not jewish, to make Jesus both Priestly and Royal. It just never works that way. It's a story that will never work.

Why do you say, “BCE”? What common with CE?
