Honestly, Protestants Just Don't Think About Mary

10/6/2019

Is James the brother of Jesus? Is the virgin birth possible? And why do Catholics care what Mary and Joseph got up to after Jesus was born? In this dramatic and fast-paced episode, Alex and Katie start to get into one of the most heated discussions in all of Protestant/Catholic disputes- the perpetual virginity of Mary.

  • James as the brother of Jesus: Wikipedia suggests this source from early-church in a discussion of who James is:https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/AnteNicene_Fathers/Volume_IX/Origen_on_Matthew/Origen%27s_Commentary_on_Matthew
  • We discuss word "adelphos" in Greek. This link is the Strong's Concordance of all the times this word is used in the Bible, and how it is translated across different translations: https://biblehub.com/greek/80.htm
  • Alex references the Wedding in Cana as evidence for references to Jesus's family: John 2:1-12. Alex particularly references verse 12. 
  • We talk about how the translation of Matthew 1:25 differs in one word in many different translations. The dictionary concordance reference is here, along with the link to the verse itself: http://www.godrules.net/library/strongs2b/gre2193.htm  
  • Were Mary and Joseph married or engaged? Jewish marriage ritual in the First Century: https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/biblical-topics/bible-interpretation/were-mary-and-joseph-married-or-engaged-at-jesus-birth/?fbclid=IwAR3JhRe2MXnHrFYikgk6kCpJJ__u0zPQ35DC5TNpqjTYC1HVp-sG83EJsUA 
  • Katie mentions "JD Heathers" when Alex calls John the Disciple JD. If you are unfamiliar, this is a reference to the movie and musical "Heathers," where the character JD (spoilers) blows up a school. Very different person than the disciple. 
  • Katie references John 19:25 when Jesus says to John "John, this is your mother." 
  • Marty, we gotta get back to the Bible" this is a very niche inside joke to a meme Alex and Katie made. The picture may not make it any clearer:
