Wow what a video! Well done!👏🤍

Glad you are back!

I think it might not be implying that Mary had done something promiscuous as much as it may be saying that people thought she had. Particularly because many people thought Mary was lying about her conception since it was an anomaly. Also, 2 things 1. So glad your videos are back 2. What is your shirt this time?

He was not the messiah, but a king just like he said. Using the Bible for accurate information is not the way to read it. Read it for the stories and message

[@nicoleschommer2656]

Loved this video! Depth of content yet easy to understand! Thanks!

[@ReligiosityPlus]

Thank you Nicole! Much love!

Glad to see you back!! Question, if Nazareth was "branch town" and the Messiah wouldve been expected to come from there why do we have the expectation that he will be born in Bethlehem? Also why do people essentially pick on Narazeth saying "what good can come from it" if it's the place where people are born from the lineage of David?

[@ReligiosityPlus]

Thank you wannabe scholar! (cool name by the way!). For your first question, the expectation that he will be born in Bethlehem comes from an Old Testament prophecy from the book of Micah (Micah 5:2). And secondly, for people picking on Nazareth saying, "What good can come from it." It could be related to its size. It was very small in the early first century (around 400 people). It was likely seen as a small rural community with no pomp or splendor. Other first century cities like Sepphoris, Magdala, Capernaum, and Caesarea Philippi were much more populous, urban and rich. That's my best guess anyway!

Mt 1:16 clearly says that Joseph's father is Jacob, whereas Lk 3:23 CLEARLY says that Joseph's father is Heli. Sorry, but any odd interpretation to make these contradictory statements compatible is just jumping through hoops. Read them for yourself. Only people with the pre-existing conclusion that they must be both correct could not see this. And claiming that anyone could check that they were not correct back then is also outrageous. Both gospels where composed ca. 75 years after the fact in some Greek-speaking region outside Palestine. How on earth could first-century readers fact-check the genealogy of a random Palestinian dude (Joseph son of who-knows), born over 100 years earlier? Moreover, Nativity stories in Matthew an Luke are anyway completely different (e. g. Herdod vs. Quirinus, Egypt vs. Jerusalem). The genealogy is just another difference.

I’ve seen on TV years ago that caskets were found in Jerusalem bearing the names of Joseph, Mary and Jesus. Apparently, the tradition was, if you could afford it, to be buried with other family members. Does this mean that the biblical burial in a cave was just a temporary measure until an inground burial could be performed. My understanding is that Jewish law required interment before sundown?

[@todradmaker4297]

Perhaps your explanation can account for the different list of generations between David and Joseph, but shouldn't Luke and Matthew have the same list from Abraham to David or was Matthew more interested in symbology than historical accuracy?

[@todradmaker4297]

Just to save you the time of reading through all the names; between Hezron and Ammin'adab Luke has Arni and Admin where Matthew just has Ram.

[@DavidAnthonyDvorak]

Welcome back! Love your content! What's your IG?

[@saulor1182]

You're using Jewish based Gematria to "decode" a new testament scripture which was originally written in Greek....

[@ReligiosityPlus]

That is correct. Matthew was writing for a Jewish audience that would have instantly understood the significance of the Hebrew Gematria value of 14. Even though he himself was writing in Greek.

[@ichthys4147]

In Revelation, John also uses gematria! 666 is code for Emperor Nero

[@ReligiosityPlus]

You are 100 percent correct!

[@cnetzuma7025]

First comment😅

[@ReligiosityPlus]

First comment winner! Congrats!

[@stridedeck]

I believe that you have the assumption that Jesus was a historical person and was biologically born. Because of this assumption, your interpretations have been tainted by this assumption. If you take the assumption that these character ( in tthe Hebrew Bible and New Testament) are all metaphors pointing to an internal, powerful spiritual transformation, as did the Kaballah followers, then there is another interpretation, that to me, is much more powerful and vivid!

[@dane947]

Jesus is a divine being, divine beings have ZERO human genealogy. It's that simple. You can of course, make up anything you like to satisfy a narrative though.

[@HaydenMussi]

Jesus is entirely human and entirely divine. He has human genealogy by blood on his mother Mary's side, and adoptive human genealogy on his father Joseph's side
