A disclaimer. This blog teaches what the Gospels say about the: birth, person and purpose of Jesus Christ. He’s:
He’s the SOLE STAR of God’s Redemptive Story:
Once we know HE ALONE remains in the Spotlight of God’s attention, we immediately know WHO DOESN’T—which means everyone else, including Mary. For example, consider Matthew 1:24-25—the overlooked proof that her virginity had an END. God ordered Joseph to take her into his home to:
Celebrate the word UNTIL. For it serves three purposes in clarifying questions about Mary. First, the couple had no sexual relations UNTIL she gave birth. UNTIL means just that…UNTIL—the time element ending her virginity. It likely occurred after their visit to the temple for Mary’s purification. To this day, sexual relations after birth re-start at six weeks. Second, UNTIL also explains Mark 6:1-3:
Third, UNTIL explains what “blessed are you among women” means Luke 1:42. For in Judges 5:24 Deborah declared Jael the “most blessed among women”. Therefore, the term means honored, respected, appreciated. It does not mean WORSHIPPED. As scripture from beginning to end demands, only GOD is worshipped. Church tradition always wars against Bible truth. Jesus contended constantly against human tradition. The Pharisees kept clamoring, “Our traditions say!” Jesus kept hammering, “I don’t care. I’m you telling what God says.” For their tradition nullified the Word of God Matthew 15:6. Bible-centered believers only care what God’s Word says. End Part I
