have a few. like. She did not die a Virgen. Matthew 1:24-25 King James Version 24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus. Mary had more kids. Mark 6:3 “Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.” Mary is asleep not in heaven. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 King James Version 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. There is only one mediator. 1 Timothy 2:5 King James Version 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; The rosary is not of God. for he hates repitition. Matthew 6:5-8 King James Version 5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. Get out of men's religions, their churches their temples their synagogues. for God does not dwell in non if them. They are all false. confusion and division and after men's traditions not the word of God. Acts 17:24-28 King James Version 24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Mark 7:7-13 King James Version 7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: 11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. 12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; 13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. Amen. this is the word of God.

Where is it because Jesus is coming back for 1bride,1church,1people who love God with all our might and love each other. So where does all of that conflict fall? Jesus wants a pure heart that loves him and follows him. Where are those people at? Because this is probably the only comment that I saw that was done in love. Smh.

Quite amazing that God condescended to send an angel to clue Joseph in about what was really going on. All He had to do was command him to shelter Mary and the baby and Joseph, being a godly man, would have done so out of obedience. Can you just imagine the difference it made to Joseph for the rest of his life, knowing his wife hadn't been unfaithful to him? That's a marvelous example of the Love of God. Thank you for this wonderful perspective.

[@shaunsteele8244]

Joseph found out Mary was pregnant before they married, that's why he was going to "put her away" (not marry her). That's why God sent the angel to clue him in and tell him that she was indeed a virgin, and the Child was legitimate and of God.

Julia is a Lennon song released in 1968 on the Beatles White Album dedicated to his Mother..

Thank you pastor for the missing insights we have accumulated as we read the word of God. I am Christian in the Catholic tradition and we venerate the Virgin Mary as the Immaculate Conception and co-redemptrix because she accepted what the Angel told her. Recently I have been wondering why the Virgin Mary did not share what transpired between her and Angel Gabriel with her bethrowed, Joseph but instead went in haste to Elizabeth’s home where she stayed three months before she returned to Nazareth noticeably pregnant. I believe that God will grant me the appropriate answer as I continue to study His Words. If anyone can venture an explanation I will have the matter settled.

Another amazing example of Mary's courage was her first response after Gabriel left. She immediately took off alone to see Elizabeth. We are not directly told where Elizabeth lived, but it was apparently in Hebron, according to Luke 1: 39 and Joshua 20: 7. Mary was probably only a young teenager and that was a very hard 140 - 150 twisted mountainous trip that took her both ways on the road from Jericho up to Jerusalem, (where the good Samaritan helped the man beaten and left to die); and it also on the road leading south from Jerusalem that was called by David (The Valley of the Shadow of Death). thank you, Carl Kuntze

[@ahgolcher]

Very imprecise notions.

[@CarlKuntze]

Here is another interesting fact about Mary. She was both a descendant of King David which is clear, and of Aaron. Elizabeth was of the High Priestly order and it is written that she was a close relative to Mary, probably an aunt of hers, Luke 1: 5 and 36. This is important because that made Jesus both from the tribe of Judah, and the family of King David; and also of the tribe of Aaron through Mary. Jesus was as a result physically from both tribes and He fulfilled the prophesy of Jeremiah 33: 17 and 18. "For thus says the LORD, 'David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel; and the Levitical priests shall never lack a man before Me, '" Thank you, Carl Kuntze

[@jeffmckinnon5842]

I have always wondered about Jesus life, as a kid. Did his parents tell him how he was conceived? Did they raise him up as the "Son of God" or did they somehow, keep it a secret for all of those years, telling him that Joseph was his father. I wonder how my mind might have worked, had my mother told me, all of my life, that I was God's own child, and a product of immaculate conception. Did he know that he was God, hiding out in the skin of a human child, or was he lied to, for all of those years, so he could grow up "normal".... There seems to be no proper answer to this question, but if my mother told me such a story, I would grow up believing that I am extra special, and destined to fulfil some prophecy. It's too bad that there is no book of Mary, to fill that empty space in my heart, and in my mind. How does anybody "raise" such a child, if it were true? You can't lie to him... Nor could you tell him the truth....

[@mikeblast7507]

Good, fair-minded take. Many denominations and evangelicals believe, perversely, that Mary was nothing more than a vessel for Jesus birth, and once she accomplished that, she was no longer important. In fact, she was of great importance to Him and us. At her request he performed his first miracle before he was ready (water into wine), and she was literally the last thing on his mind when he was hanging on the cross and told John to look after her. (Which is proof she had no sons, or they would have been responsible for her in the Jewish tradition). Jesus loves her and listens to her even now, which is why we pray to her.

[@matts1364]

She wasn’t important after his birth. She had to have faith in him being the messiah and to accept him as Lord. If she didn’t, she along with all of mankind who did not accept him as the sacrifice for our sins would have been kept out of heaven.

And you are absolutely correct in that G_d did protect Mary and Jesus at least three times that we know about: Sending Mary to see Elizabeth could be considered the first time. Then G_d told Joseph in a dream to head to Egypt in order to get out of the way of Herod (Mt 2:3) and to fulfill prophesy (Hos 11:1). And finally, G_d told Joseph in another dream that it was safe to return to Israel but to take the family to Nazareth instead of Bethlehem in order to stay away from Archelaus (Mt 2:19-23). Nazareth was a quiet little town up in the hills where Jesus could grow up without drawing much attention.

The Angel Gabriel is an imaginary being. There is no reliable proof whatsoever that any beings such as angels actually exist or that God is an all male trio. Jesus is no one's 'savior' because 'savior' is not a proper word in the English language. Christianity teaches that Jesus was our saviour because he died for our sins. However, the bible and Christianity are very clearly inventions of the human imagination. All religion is invented by the human mind and the belief that God is an all male trio and yet one at the same time is an insult to womankind. Non-religious people are just as likely, and often more so, than religious people are to be good, kind, upright and honest. This important truth has been proved absolutely over and over again. Both Hitler and Stalin were brought up in very religious Christian families and Stalin trained to become an Orthodox Christian priest for some time before he turned to Communism. whilst Hitler never renounced his Roman Catholic faith. Religion has been the main cause of strife and wars for well over 2000 years.

Good explanation. However do not agree with comment of Jesus dismissing His mother when he said 'who is my mother, brother and sister. Whoever obeys the will of my father in heaven is my mother, brother and sister'. In fact Jesus was emphasising that Mary is His mother not just because she birthed and nursed Him, but because she obeyed the will of the father 'let thy will be done'. Also remember that Jesus would not have disrespected Mary, and disobeyed the fourth commandment.

ToJane. I wholeheartedly agree w you. I would like to mention something else. When the Holy Spirit 'overshadowed' Mary, there is no mentioned He ever departed from her. She, Mary, us the Daughter of God the Father, Mother I'd the Son, and Spouse if the Holy Spirit. A third point, regarding St Joseph. Since he knew the Scriptures, when the Ark of the Covenant (OT) was about to tip over, the one who put of Respect for it's contents, steadied it w his hand, since he did not have permission to touch The Ark, he died. Since Our Blessed Mother,Mary, is the Ark of the New Covenant, how much more would St Joseph be Respectful of Mary....not out of fear; but rather out of a deep love for her Sanctity, and Holiness! How unworthy he must have felt. The Angel told him to fear not to take Mary as his wife as the Child in Mary womb was conceived by the Power of the Holy Spirit. Amen and amen. Rosemarie

[@katiedid8192]

Thank you for recognizing the bravery and faith of both Mary and Joseph. As for Mary’s knowledge that Christ was the Messiah I believe she had grace and faith that allowed her to accept the motherhood of Jesus. She knew exactly what she was doing and the possible consequences. Elizabeth also acknowledged her at her visit with Elizabeth. Elizabeth greeted her as “ the mother of my Lord”. Mary actually told Elizabeth of how God had blessed her. In fact she stated that “all generations shall call me blessed” Luke 1: 46-55. She was told at Jesus”s presentation by. Simeon that several swords would pierce her heart. Mary became pregnant without having had intercourse with a man, she had been dedicated to God as an infant and raised in the temple until she was twelve. There is no way she doubted Christ’s identity. With such a large family there were bound to be members who did not believe that Jesus was the Messiah. Therefore I believe that Jesus’s statement asking Who is my mother, brother,……. Was a statement not of rejection of Mary and His family but a teaching that His followers who accepted His words were His family and possibly a message to those who did not. At the time of Christ’s words the crowds were so great that He could not eat or drink and thee Scribes were telling the people that Christ was possessed by demons. The Scribes were looking for ways to shut Jesus up. The family was concerned for His safety. I am certain that Mary was also quite concerned. In NO way would Mary have thought Jesus was crazy. She knew full well Who He was.

[@TyroneFlanagan]

[@jodigreiner5748]

I am one who believes that Jesus was born at the Migdal Eder tower near Bethlehem, according to Micha 4:8. Not that it matters, but if so, then it’s easy to understand why the shepherds knew exactly where to go when the angel told them they would find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. You see, the tower at Migdal Eder was originally a watch tower for the town of Bethlehem that had been converted into a nursery for new born lambs. The shepherds were Temple shepherds whose job it was to bring flawless lambs to the priests of the Temple for sacrifice. As soon as the lamb/s were born, they were brought to the tower and examined for imperfections. If flawless, they would be wrapped in strips of cloth to prevent injury of any kind and laid in a manger, which was a large stone carved bowl. There were probably several in the tower by the time Jesus was born. I can see how desperate Mary and Joseph would have been to have a place to birth Mary’s baby. Since the shepherds were out in the field, they had no choice but to go in and find a place for Mary to give birth. Then, as was customary, wrap baby Jesus in swaddling clothes, and place Him in one of the mangers. How fitting that the little Lamb of God be born in the tower of Migdal Eder!!

[@nanadeborah8717]

Yes,I heard that also from a Messianic researcher. And it would make sense since the sheep for the sacrifices were raised in Bethlehem. When I tell people this,I say, the spotless lamb of God was placed in the manger,wrapped in swaddling,which was the frayed hems of the priestly robes, worshipped by the shepherds. Whose responsibility it was to find the spotless lamb. It makes so much sense if you know the history of the area. Especially why He was the lamb of God.

Get serious! Mary was not almost executed. The verse to stone only applies to Mary on the testimony of 2 or 3 witnesses, and since there was no other man, and no witnesses she was not guilty of a sin or a crime. And, as if those things even mattered, she had divine protection from on high. Where does it say or even suggest in the scripture the town people were thinking of stoning her? It is written: That Joseph being a Godly man wanted her to be safe and avoid tarnishing her reputation so he kept everything quiet. And they did get married. Did you even read Mat 1 before making this video? And in Luke1, we see the promises made to Mary, so there is no way she would have been close to execution because she believed in the promises made through Gabriel the Arch Angel who told her face to face. I can't bear to watch any further if you can't get your first point right.

14:59 "If Jesus is an only child, which some people contend . . " If Jesus was not an only child, surely He would not have given Mary to His disciple John at the time of His death on the cross, she would naturally have gone to live with one of Jesus' siblings wouldn't she?

[@golz1483]

Minute 22:30, her baby boy, her first born? How many boys and girls Mary had? If she had more then one then according to you, why Jesus left Mary to the apostle John and not to her other son or daughter and why Jesus didn't say John take my mother or woman to my brothers, well maybe because she was a widow with no kids of her own to take care of her. John 19, 25-27 When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,” 27 and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home. John says: From that time on this disciple "took her into his home". Where are her sons and daughters? They came to live in John house too? she had no one to take care of her and tell me why after all this why the fathers of the church they never talked about Jesus other brothers? No one did. Look Jesus send Mary Magdalene to tell his brothers of his resurrection and look who she went to: John 20:11-18 New International Version Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene 11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb(A) 12 and saw two angels in white,(B) seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. 13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”(C) “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.”(D) 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there,(E) but she did not realize that it was Jesus.(F) 15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?(G) Who is it you are looking for?” Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.” 16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic,(H) “Rabboni!”(I) (which means “Teacher”). 17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers(J) and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father(K) and your Father, to my God and your God.’” 18 Mary Magdalene(L) went to the disciples(M) with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her. Brothers=Disciples Jewish culture is a patriarchal culture. Paternal authority prevails in it, and this authority takes linguistic attributions such that when referring to a blood brother it is necessary to clarify: my father's children, since saying brother can only refer to any degree of kinship such as: uncle, nephew, cousin , etc. This happens because in the Hebrew language there is no word uncle, cousin or another. Let's look at some biblical references: "Abram took Sarai, his wife, and Lot, his brother's son" (Gn 12: 5) Here it is clear that Abram is Lot's uncle; however, later he will be called by his brother: "So Abram said to Lot: Look, it is better that there be no quarrels between us, nor between my shepherds and yours, since we are brothers." (Gn 13.8) Uncle and nephew=brother Romans 8:29 NIV says: For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. Bible Verses about Jesus' Brother and Sisters Let us first sum up what we know from the New Testament of the brothers and sisters of the Lord. They are mentioned in Matthew 12:46-50, 13:55-56; Mark 3:31, 6:3; Luke 8:19; John 2:12, 7:3; Acts 1:14; 1 Cor. 9:5; and Paul speaks of a James the Lord's brother (Galatians 1:19). Of the brothers, there seem to have been four who are named in Matthew 13:55: James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas (see Mark 6:3). Matthew and Mark mention the sisters, but neither the number nor the names are given. From the language of the Nazarenes (Matthew 13:56, "His sisters, are they not all with us?"), there must have been at least two, probably more, and apparently married, and resident at Nazareth. These brothers and sisters are not mentioned at all until after the Lord began His ministry and are first mentioned as going with His mother and Himself to Capernaum (John 2:12). It is in dispute whether any were believers in His Messianic claims, at least until the very end of His ministry (John 7:3-10). Most say that they were made believers through His resurrection, as they appear in company with the Apostles (Acts 1:14). In all the references to the Lord's brethren several things are noticeable: first, that they are always called brothers and sisters, not cousins or kinsmen; second, that their relationship is always defined with reference to Him, not to Joseph or to Mary; they are always called His brothers and sisters, not sons and daughters of Mary; third, that they always appear in connection with Mary (except in John 7:3) as if her children, members of her household, and under her direction.

He could have appeared instantly as a full-grown man descending from the sky, the reverse of the Ascension. He could have come down on a mountaintop, or in the Temple. And if he had, every Christian in the world who adored Him would make a pilgrimage to that mountain or that Temple. They would love that place above all places in the universe. They would make a very big deal of it. Why? Because they make a very big deal about Him. Well, why not do the same with Mary? She is the place where the single most important and miraculous and wonderful thing that ever happened, happened. It’s what C. S. Lewis called “the grand miracle.” It’s far greater than the creation of the universe. The eternal, immortal, infinite God became a temporal, mortal, finite man out of love of us, for our salvation.

One thing we know, Mary wasn't a drama queen like this guy. Mary was scared of being executed - totally bs. Your applying Jewish law to the Mother of God. Doesn't work that way.

[@anaanguiano6658]

Mary was the mother of Jesus, the son of man

[@alhilford2345]

Mary is the Mother of God.

[@barbwellman6686]

As Fr. Corapi would say, "Our Blessed Mother wears combat boots".

[@sharonstrauss1146]

Amen.Thank you Jesus for loving us unconditionally.

[@bernadettematera-stacey1982]

Thank you Brandon. I think you have a pastor’s heart for people. Your prayers and spiritual insight are so compassionate. God bless you in ways you’ve never imagined!

[@cmroszczyk1]

I'm so sorry Brandon, but Jesus was not born in a house. Read your Bible again or at least read the right version of the Bible. He was born in a stable and when he got a little older they moved into a house where the three Wiseman saw him.

The law was very serious about cleanliness. If Mary and Joseph had to stay in the as t barn, it had to be clean . In the Holy Land in the Spring and late summer, the animales are outside and not in the stable. The owners would clean the stable putting curtains as separations to acomódate guests. Jesús wasn't born in a smelly stable. And there were midwives all over these towns. Mary was surely attended by one. So, there are things that are not fully explained or over the years, they could have been omitted. So, Jesus was probably born either in September or in April during the season of our Easter. This is known because I lived in the Holy Land for a time. And the 3 wise men saw Jesus as a small child and not a baby. That's why King Harod wanted children from 2 years down sacrificed.

@Vincit Veritas Well this is what your catechism teaches you and you ignore reality.The fact is that the Catholic " church" implemented or incorporated Christ's birth with pagan gods such as Dionysus, Horis, Tammuz and many more who were also born on December 25th.Yeshua haMashiach was NOT born on the same days as these abominable human idols.The truth is out and you need to investigate.

[@bobbyallen7977]

@Vincit Veritas this comment is really telling of you and where you stand as someone who believes that they are filled with the Holy Spirit.I am not a protestant and I would never be a part of the Roman " church".My bible says that we should be patient and kind to one another when it comes to the Word of God and to build each other up in the faith.What I told you is true and all you have to do is search for yourself and find out that what I remarked on is the truth.Dont jump so fast at me or anyone else because your traditions get in your way.Research what I told you and you will be surprised.

[@bobbyallen7977]

@Vincit Veritas Your spirit is really hostile so I won't be commenting towards you any longer.Ive done nothing to provoke such an angry spirit.I will leave you to your devices.
