  • Perpetual Virginity? Biblical Evidence that Mary and Joseph Never Consummated Their Marriage

    The biblical evidence and historical evidence that Mary remained a Perpetual virgin even after the birth of Jesus is pretty sound. You can find a lot of different answers, to a number of different and common questions, like what about all of the brothers of Jesus we here in Scripture. ( The answer being that the Greek word adelphoi was a common circumlocution for more distant relatives when there wasn't a clear word that could be used. It can mean brother, but can also just mean Ken, and it can even mean people who you are simply close to. Of course as I'll discuss in this video it could also be step-siblings who were the children of Joseph from a prior marriage.)
    However, when the angel greets Mary, he uses future tense language to tell her that she will have a son. Where she planning to have a traditional marriage then she ought to have answered with something like “oh, with Joseph, my betrothed husband.” but she doesn't.
    Instead she asks a question, “ how can this be since I do not know man.” that very answer lets you know that she understood where babies came from and that she was not planning to engage in those activities, even when she was married.

  • Peter, Petros, Petra: Is Peter The Rock Upon Which Jesus Built His Church?
    Is Peter the rock upon which Jesus built the church?
    Here's a short discussion showing why it's reasonable to assume that Jesus WAS referring primarily to PETER as the rock, taken from a few different perspectives, including textually, philosophically, and historically why this makes sense.

    Class Notes: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/y0nm90mwbrbqevr/AADN4Pyho20JhqxIZsmB517ca?dl=0
    In this relatively short video I'm going to discuss why and how we can know that the Catholic church is the church that Jesus Christ founded, how it compares to other churches and how it has persisted Through Time unchanged via Apostolic succession. We will look at this claim from scripture as well as history and philosophy, and this will bookend well with the next class which will be discussing scripture and tradition in particular

    RE: https://www.catholic.org/news/hf/faith/story.php?id=51077
    Text from THE LAST BATTLE by C. S. Lewis
    “So I went over much grass and many flowers and among all kinds of wholesome and delectable trees till lo! in a narrow place between two rocks there came to meet me a great Lion. The speed of him was like the ostrich, and his size as an elephant’s; his hair was like pure gold and the brightness of his eyes like gold that is liquid in the furnace. He was more terrible than the Flaming Mountain of Lagour, and in beauty he surpassed all that is in the world even as the rose in bloom surpasses the dust of the desert.Then I fell at his feet and thought, Surely this is the hour of death, for the Lion (who is worthy of all honour) will know that I have served Tash all my days and not him. Nevertheless, it is better to see the Lion and die than to be Tisroc of the world and live and not to have seen him. But the Glorious One bent down his golden head and touched my forehead with his tongue and said, Son, thou art welcome. But I said, Alas Lord, I am no son of thine but the servant of Tash. He answered, Child, all the service thou hast done to Tash, I account as service done to me. Then by reasons of my great desire for wisdom and understanding, I overcame my fear and questioned the Glorious One and said, Lord, is it then true, as the Ape said, that thou and Tash are one? The Lion growled so that the earth shook (but his wrath was not against me) and said, It is false. Not because he and I are one, but because we are opposites, I take to me the services which thou hast done to him. For I and he are of such different kinds that no service which is vile can be done to me, and none which is not vile can be done to him. Therefore if any man swear by Tash and keep his oath for the oath’s sake, it is by me that he has truly sworn, though he know it not, and it is I who reward him. And if any man do a cruelty in my name, then, though he says the name Aslan, it is Tash whom he serves and by Tash his deed is accepted. Dost thou understand, Child? I said, Lord, though knowest how much I understand. But I said also (for the truth constrained me), Yet I have been seeking Tash all my days. Beloved, said the Glorious One, unless they desire had been for me thou wouldst not have sought so long and so truly. For all find what the truly seek. “Then he breathed upon me and took away the trembling from my limbs and caused me to stand upon my feet. And after that, he said not much, but that we should meet again, and I must go further up and further in. Then he turned him about in a storm and flurry of gold and was gone suddenly. “And since then, O Kings and Ladies, I have been wandering to find him and my happiness is so great that it even weakens me like a wound. And this is the marvel of marvels, that he called me Beloved, me who am but as a dog-“
