Catholics will say that Jesus siblings were actually his cousins. Yet, they will never give you a reason why they don’t think it’s possible for Mary to have other children. Could it be that they think Mary is so holy that if Joesph had any sexual relations with her it would be sacrilege? However the Bible does say Joesph did in fact have sexual relations with Mary. But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus. Matthew 1:25
In Luke chapter 2, Jesus is called the "firstborn" of Mary. In Luke chapter 7, Luke uses the word "only-born" for the widow' son. Luke could have used "only-born" in reference to Jesus, but didn't because Jesus had brothers and sisters... children of Mary. hey Catholics ✌️ you lose again
Its not about loosing or wining, its about all believers of Christ being one, as Jesus and his Father are one. We are the bride of Christ, rooted into the olive tree. Although most jews don't acknowledge Yeshua/Jesus as their Messiah, we Christians owe our Jewish brothers recognition due to the fact that because of them, we have the Bible. Jesus Christ came from a Jewish family, same with catholics, they may not acknowledge the truth, but lots of them are realizing that Christianity isn't about religion, its about having a personal, spiritual relationship with Christ. As Jesus prayed for everyone to come to him, because he is the only way to the Father, we also must pray for everyone to seek the truth. Jesus is the truth.
@@guillermogarcia4171 And once those Catholics are born again into that personal relationship with Christ, they will no longer be Catholics, but Christians. At that point, they will have to leave that heretical institution.
@@guillermogarcia4171 (you mean "losing") and you're wrong. heretics lose in the end... and Catholics, who grant the incommunicable attributes of God to dead humans, are heretics. They also add works to the gospel, in violation of Galatians 2:16, Eph 2:8-9, and Titus 3:5. But their #1 problem is that they deny that the Bible is the sole, infallible rule of faith for us... and "go beyond what is written" by turning to human councils and magisteriums, instead of rightly dividing the Word.
"Do not gloat when your enemy falls; when they stumble, do not let your heart rejoice, or the Lord will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from them" (Proverbs 24:17-18). "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets" (Matthew 7:12). Since you are okay with being called a loser, what have you won? Did anyone repent and believe because of your comment? You were going along so well, then you just had to include that last line.
If Jesus had siblings, why did he say "Dear woman this is your son (the disciple whom he loved), and to the disciple he said "here is your mother". And from that time on the disciple took her into his home. (John 19: 26-27). Please explain why Jesus would give his mother's care to a stranger (John) instead of her own sons and daughters?
Of course! It's stated explicitly in God's Word. It's unbearable how Catholics twist themselves into pretzels trying to deny what the Bible clearly states.
I'm not a Catholic, but I have to point out, every denomination has doctrines that contradict the Bible. Baptists prohibit dancing. Church of Christ prohibits musical instruments. Pentecostals have "slain in the Spirit." Those are only the most obvious examples, but false doctrines are ubiquitous. Which ones you can tolerate, is what determines which denomination you will accept.
Oh, for goodness' sake. Dancing, instruments, "slain in the Spirit" - these things are different than the actual way of salvation! @@joshuakarr-BibleMan
It actually isn't. The new testament is written in Greek. Your translation does not tell the full story. There is biblical evidence to support that these men were infact the children of his Aunt. His cousins.
People "get confused" because of the word games played. If there is need for penance, then salvation cannot be by grace alone, through faith alone. We could never, in all of eternity, do sufficient penance to cover even one of our most "tiny" (in our view) sins! If we could, then the sacrifice of Jesus would not have been necessary. @@joshuakarr-BibleMan
Joseph couldn’t have had living children before Jesus was born because then He, earthly/physically, wouldn’t have the right of succession to the throne of David. Jesus had to be Joseph’s oldest son
That makes more sense. I`ve heard about that Jesus had a relative named Judas(not judas iscariot), but i was told that he was his halfcousin or something. Thank you for that correction. God bless you.
James I believe is a brother of John, another James, is the son of Alphaeus who was also an Apostle. I do think The Book of James was written by James the Apostle
@@nikki3760 Scripture records the death of James, the son of Zebedee and brother of John, in Acts 12:2. James. the Lord's brother, as Paul refers to him in Galatians 1-19, was called an apostle by the time Paul came to Jerusalem after his salvation by Paul himself.
Ok much of this is outright false. Let me explain. With a little exercise of humility, you can and should Learn from Catholics how to read scripture : Other Gospel passages clarify these relationships. James and Joses were the sons of Mary of Cleophas (Mark 15:40). Mary of Cleophas is described in the Gospel of John as our the Virgin Mary’s “sister” (John 19:25); obviously, she must have been a cousin, and James and Joses thereby cousins of our Lord. Judas was the son of James (not either of the apostles) (Luke 6:16). James the lesser was the son of Alphaeus (Luke 6:15). James the greater and John were the sons of Zebedee with a mother other than our Blessed Mother Mary (Matthew 20:20). The first statement that “Jesus for sure had 4 brothers” is blatantly false and easily disprovable with scripture alone. There is also only ONE person defined as having the Virgin Mary as his mother, Jesus. No one else is ever defined as having her explicitly as their mother. To say anything else would be extra biblical. Furthermore, Jesus trusts the Apostile John with Mary as he’s on the cross. According to Jewish Law the siblings would take care of Mary. Keep in mind many of Jesus’s “siblings” were supposedly at the crucifix. Jesus doesn’t entrust Mary to his siblings despite them standing right there, why? It makes no logiciel or logistical sense. To say Mary had all these other kids is a very poor reading of scripture.
Well to the Heretics out there. No. Mary is a Virgin,born with out the stain of Original Sin The teaching of the Catholic Church and Orthodox Church Both she is forever Virgin .
If Joseph was in the right line of descent from King David, the lineage could not have fallen to Jesus unless He was considered Joseph's oldest son. Though God's Son, God chose Joseph to raise Him; as a matter of practical living, He is Joseph's son.
Wrong!!! By Law. Jesus was Joseph's first son, receiving all the blessing and rights of the first-born. . By flesh, Jesus was Mary's seed only, the fulfillment of the first prophecy in the Bible as stated in Genesis 3.
The devil will say and do anything to turn the bible upside down, just to convince people to beleive what he wants them to beleive and not what God has to say? Those involved in the scam, don't have the Spirit of light, and are subject to what's written in revelation 22:18-19!
No doubt there are. But whether they are believers in Christ or not is another matter. Some of David's offspring were Baal worshippers, those who do the will of The Father are of Christ.
@@rager4able There are still societies that allow what we would call polygamy. Islam allows a man to have up to four wives. It is likely some form of polygamy was practiced in many places where the Torah or the gospel did not have great influence, especially among the elite.
Scholars have looked into it and found that polygamy among Jews by the 1st century did exist, but was rare. The Romans promoted marriage to only one woman at a time rather than polygamy, but allowed husbands to be non-monogamous.
I have a question for you. Why did Jesus choose a donkey that no one had ever ridden on? A grave where no one was buried was taken? No one else was buried in it after that. Iam an Orthodox Christian from Kerala, India. St. Thomas came to Kerala at the famous ancient Port 'Muziris' which has erased from history. After 2000 years nowadays no one knows that ancient port. We're the followers of Jesus Christ by St. Thomas. We believe Mary mother of God never had a worldly life because of God Jesus Christ. She was the true the worshiper of Jesus. Didn't she know he was born from her womb by the Holy Spirit and so he is God ? Modern men don't believe this first miracle by Jesus but Mary did it. The God came into her womb without help of any human. And Lord lived there by nine months and came out Unspoiling her virginity is the second miracle. In the birth of Jesus there were numerous miracles in the eyes of Mary which was not described in the Bible. The human Mary why didn't worship Jesus? No human never tasted such miracles nevertheless Mary. Exercising these mysteries she lived in the paradise, because wherever Jesus is that's paradise. Do anybody marry in paradise? No,Never. They were just like angels. And so we can conclude that Mary lived here as an angel worshipping God Jesus through out her life. Because the vision made by angel to righteous Joseph, he changed his views . So he came to know that the God Almighty is sitting in Mary's womb. He looked after Mary just as we take care of Church. It was the house of God. Modern human wish to minimize the dignity of Jesus. They may think that Jesus in her womb wasn't God. Dignity came to Jesus while he was grownup, which is a heresy. Jesus chose a donkey that no one had ever ridden on. A grave where no one was buried was taken. No one else was buried in it after that. All these proves that he is God. Indeed, it is impossible for another person to enter the womb in which he resided! Mary in her whole life lived sacred. She was the first disciple of Jesus Christ and possessed top respect
God bless our Orthodox brethren. Yes, I've read about Thomas and his influence on your liturgy. I also read about how word came to him that Mary was at the end of her life but he did not make it back for what Orthodox call her dormition. To add to what you shared about our blessed mother, the Church fathers also saw her as the Ark of the New Covenant and the New Eve. God bless.
You actually eluded to an I interesting point. The church, East and west, has always thought of Mary as the Ark of the New Covenant, therefore, like the OT ark, a type of Mary if you will, no man would be allowed to touch the Ark since God Himself resided in her womb. For that reason, Jesus had to be Mary's only son.
@@thengingalwilly1493 To take it further, with the word 'woman' used to describe Eve in Genesis and Mary in the NT, Eve being a type for Mary, even as a Protestant (even though we had no category to apply typology to Mary), I was taught that the NT fulfillment is always greater than it's OT type, therefore, if the first woman, Eve, was born sinless, it is only fitting that the second woman, Mary (Eve's fulfillment), would also be born sinless. Same for the first and second Adam. The first woman said 'no' to God while the second said 'yes'. The first woman is the fleshly mother of us all while Mary is said to be the spiritual mother of us all (Revelation 12:17). Her Magnificat in Luke also clearly describes her as the new Davidic Kingdom Gebirah i.e. queen mother who always sat at her son's (the king's) right side. Remember when the two brothers and their mother ask Jesus if they could be allowed to each sit at His side in His kingdom. Jesus' answer was 'those places have already been decided'. When we consider the OT Giberah plus Mary's Magnificat where she herself states 'the Lord has brought down the mighty from their throwns and lifted us the lowly' (to their throwns). I would say Mary, inspired to say what she did, knew exactly what the Annunciation meant for her in the new kingdom. Our churches, East and West, have never failed to call her blessed among women. as she prophesied. God bless.
@@Ooochildbut it would be impossible for jesus to have had literal brothers because he couldnt have shared a father. Thus opening up the conversation to what brother could mean in this context. Because brother had many meanings
@@justinking3558 Being genetically connected through Mary is enough. No need to overcomplicate a simple concept. Half siblings are still siblings literally and in all actuality
@@justinking3558 According to genealogy as well as biblical exegesis, there is no opinion with what I said. It is a stated fact that can only be disputed ignorantly at best.
Pastor why is all the bible characters renamed to English names. .especially why is Isho named Jesus 😅 Isn't it renaming God given name to something else
The Bible did not call them half brothers and sister. If we stay with what scripture states we will not be confused. Anything else is adding to and taking away from scripture to put forth their on agenda and beliefs. Study the word.
Well, you can't call them full brothers and sisters, because only Jesus has God for a father. As far as I've heard it, ancient Hebrews didn't have a concept for _half_ relationships. There were people who were brothers, and people who were not. Same for stepson, adopted, and the rest.
That why you call them what scripture calls them , brothers and sisters. The rest is subjugation. People seem had the desire to try and find ways to control the narrative of Gods written word. Your opinion does not matter only the written word matters.
@@jen6741 The reason people call them by half is so they can be clear they are not incorrectly calling anybody besides Jesus a begotten child of God. It may be an overabundance of caution, or it may be a xeeper reverence. It's not bad, whatever it is. They do it for the glory of God.
What a Shame....for Protestant Preachers, No Respect for the Mother of Lord Jesus.... They will always Preach false Doctrine against the Holy Bible and against Early Teachings of the Universal Churches....If Virgin Mary has Other Children,Why should Lord Jesus Say to John here is your Mother, and to his Mother here is ur Son...not only that first of all Christian should know the Traditional of the JEWS...and the Teachings of the earlier Church Father's and Saints... Remember... those Christian Christian's don't Respect Virgin Mary means they don't obey or Love Respect JESUS CHRIST..
1. You state it's unbiblical to say Jesus did not have brothers or sisters, you then claim he had half brothers & sisters. The bible does not describe them as half brothers or sisters. So your claim is clearly unbiblical. 2. In John 19:25 we read, “Standing by the foot of the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary of Magdala.” Cross reference this with Matthew 27:56: “Among them [at the cross] were Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.” We see that at least two of the men mentioned in Matthew 13 were definitely not siblings of Jesus (although they’re called adelphoi); they were Jesus’ cousins-sons of their mother’s sister. The Greek word Adelphoi is not only used to describe people born from the same womb. 3. It was Jerome who introduced the possibility that Christ’s brethren were actually his cousins, since in Jewish idiom cousins were also referred to as “brethren.” 4th Century. Long before Martin Luther was born. At this time it was widely understood that these Male relations were not "brothers" as we would think of them today. 4. The Protoevangelium of James written early in the second century clearly states Mary was a virgin her entire life. 5. Do you really think that none of them ever noticed in the text that male relations where referred to as Adelphoi? Is it your belief that we needed the reformers to notice this obvious word in scripture? Did the early church just miss this for 1500 years? Usually your videos are of reasonable quality but the clear bias and lack or research to show both sides of the debate on this subject was very disappointing. May the blessed mother intercede for you and bring you to the truth. God Bless.
“Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?” So they were offended at Him.” (Mark 6:3.) If they were just his cousins, why would they be offended?
@justinking3558 to the degree that it is an historical document written in the second century by someone who clearly had a better understanding of events than we do.
With all due respect if Jesus had brothers and sisters, why weren’t day at the cross he died. How come only Mary John was there? Where were all his brothers why did Jesus ask John to take care of his mother at the cross? Why didn’t he say hey John, tell my brothers or sisters to take care of my mom?😅
So because the Bible doesn’t list the “guest book” of who showed up on that day, that means they weren’t there? Come on man you can’t be this naive… with all due respect.
The bible states his cousins were. It doesn't refer to them as cousins either, part of his argument was the word for cousin isn't used. It isn't used in Matthew 27:56 either, rather they are referred to as the sons of Mary the wife of Cleophas.
John was the only male mentioned who dared to show up. The other disciples were in fear for their lives as the closest disciples of the one being crucified. The female relatives and followers of Jesus would likely have had less to fear from the authorities as they were seen as less of a threat and typically had the role of handling the body after death. Mary, the mother of Jesus knew as much about his special role as his disciples, and she was likely a believer in addition to being his mother. Jesus’ brothers, by contrast, did not even believe in him or his ministry and thought he was crazy. I don’t think most people can imagine the abject shame and horror that the closest family members and associates would have experienced at just knowing of, much less personally witnessing his crucifixion. This would have changed forever the dynamics within his family even if there had never been a resurrection. At that point, presumably as a believer in a Messiah now being crucified, Mary may have been more comfortable in the care of his closest and most loyal disciple than in that of her own as yet unbelieving other sons.
You say that you called your cousins brothers, but in the bible it was other people that told Jesus "here are your brothers and sisters and your mother". Besides, Jesus made it even clearer when He said : “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.”
@@oXXCzarXXo* This was answered in the video: @1:17 There is a specific greek word for cousins and were not used to proved a point... May God's word (Bible) enlighten your heart and show you the truth... God bless 😇 Psalm 118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. Verses evidence: Luke 2:7 ESV [7] And she gave birth to her FIRSTBORN SON (not the only born) and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. Matthew 1:25 NIV [25] But he did not CONSUMMATE THEIR MARRIAGE UNTIL (Joseph and Mary had sexual relation) she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
