Episode notes
Brotherly Misinterpretations
- Some argue that Mark 6 mentions Jesus's brothers and sisters, disproving Mary's perpetual virginity.
- However, "brother" could refer to distant relatives, like Abraham and Lot.
The "Until" Argument
- The word "until" in Matthew 1:25, describing Joseph not knowing Mary until Jesus's birth, doesn't imply they later had sex.
- It simply fulfills Isaiah's prophecy of a virgin birth.
Married Virgin
- Mary and Joseph were already legally married when Gabriel appeared, though not yet living together.
- This makes Mary's surprise at conceiving, despite being married, significant.
