Love it. Beautiful.

Friends, if the early church believed that she was a perpetual virgin, that has to be the standard, and dissidents have the burden of proof.

[m.e]

Definitely Mother Mary was virgin. But whether or not she remained forever a virgin, im not bothered to know the answer, doesnt affect my faith in Jesus.

I agreed this time with James White on this matter of Blessed Mary's R.C.C. Dogmas that ANATHEMATIZE (Curse/Condemn) those who do not believe in it (reject it)... I concur with that...
The "Perpetual Virginity" Dogma of Blessed Mary by the R.C.C. was a total denial of the ACTUAL NORMAL BIRTH of the Infant Christ Jesus in Bethlehem...
"Blessed is the WOMB that bore THEE (Savior/Messiah)."... (ref. Luke 11:27-28)... The Bible never said, "Blessed is the WOMB that MIRACULOUSLY bore THEE (Savior)."
Praise be to God in Christ Jesus...Amen.

Thanks a lot for this. I’ve never heard the virginity of Mary explained so well with biblical references before.

Such a clear explanation! Really helped answer my question. Thank you

Jesus said in Matt 5:17
“Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them.” Jesus is the Word and we must abide by every Word of God even though our human minds can’t understand that Mary is a perpetual virgin. It’s not about us. God bless you Tim Staples, what a beautiful explanation of the Holy Spirit leading Christs Church to all truth even about the ever Virgin Mary. Amen. I believe!

I’m sorry but this argument relies on so many premises, all of which have very questionable plausibility. I find it so implausible, just for one example, that countless Protestant Greek scholars just happen to miss that the Greek actually tells us that Jospeh merely “walked beside her” and that’s supposed to mean they didn’t have marital relations. The argument is just so disjointed and can only persuade the one who already believes in perpetual virginity. So much reading into the text here. “She’s married to the Holy Spirit.” Says who?! He’s just asserting this.

[JonathanGrandt]

So instead of verse 25 saying, “he knew her not until she brought forth her firstborn” or should read, “and Joseph never knew her because she was married to God.”

This vídeo was so helpful. May God bless you 🙏🕊️💕

St. Paul warned the Corinthians... "Do not go beyond what is WRITTEN (in the Scripture/Bible)." ...(ref. 1 Corin. 4:6)...
St. Paul also warned the Galatians... "If we (Apostles) or an Angel from Heaven teaches/preaches (Gospel/Prophesies) DIFFERENTLY, other than what we have Preached, Taught, and Received from us (Apostles), let the CURSE of God be upon them." (be ANATHEMA, be doomed to destruction, be condemned eternally in Hell. etc.)... (ref. Galatians 1:8)...
Facts and Truth, Biblically and logically speaking... Praise be to God in Christ... Amen.

Very very interesting my brain exploded😂

[rlpsychology]

Brothers, Where in the Old or New Testament does it say Mary was uniquely married to the Holy Spirit?

[gregswartz]

Wow! What a great explanation. There should be no doubt after that unpacking. Great job guys.

[danpozzi]

There is a big problem with saying the king David did not take his wives back because they belong to another. Absalon was dead. Plus, they belong to David in the first place.
It was because a son defiled as fathers wives. Not at all a parallel with Mary and Joseph God’s best on our quest for absolute truth.

[zachdavenport]

Wait, for this argument to follow, we have to look at Jesus' conception in some sense as a sexual act with the Holy Spirit do we not? Is that not the implication of the idea that Joseph saw Mary as being married to the Holy Spirit? Needless to say, I take great issue with that line of reasoning. If I'm misunderstanding, please correct me. Also, is the catholic position that Joseph had another wife by whom he had Jesus' brothers who are mentioned in the Gospels? And, why did James refer to himself as Jesus' half brother if he was not Mary's son? He would have been Joseph's son, but he would have no real relation to Jesus. I'm legitimately asking here, not just trying to poke holes.

[pupwizard]

Ugh, his argument just went nowhere. He basically argues that Mary has to be a perpetual virgin because she is "married" to the Holy Spirit and Joseph is simply there for appearances sake, that he had no right to a husband's privilege of having sexual relations with his own wife. The protestant view is much more logical. It affirms the immaculate conception but then acknowledges that Mary and Joseph became a normal married couple after Jesus' birth. This thing about elevating Mary to such absurd heights makes me scratch my head every time

[JonathanGrandt]

This is such a terribly weak argument… It’s no wonder that I have never heard it before. Mary was betrothed to Joseph. You’re suggesting that she was consecrated to God, and therefore could not be with her husband? It’s so absurd.

[abigailbrannon]

Come from a Protestant background. I have never come across a Protestant who took issue with Jesus being conceived by a virgin birth. It’s the belief she remained a perpetual virgin that is debated.

[GodNod]

This is so important! Everyone needs to watch this

This was very good. This video finally answered the MAJOR question surrounding Mary and Joseph that I hear from all shades of Christianity. Now we just got to figure out what happened to Joseph in the later years.
