I loved your 7 things about Mother Mary. But one sentence even more has me touched: "Jesus is always with us, even in the worst moment." you said. This I had experienced before my big operation in 2020. I felt him beside me. Last summer I was baptized with water and spirit.
Well, since I am the same soul as Jesus, it could not be me. But since our soul come out of our body when we sleep, my soul maybe traveled to you, when you needed someone 🙂
Christ on the cross said she was our mother. Mic drop. It wears me out that so many otherwise faithful disparage Our Lord's mother, the New Ark of the Covenant. I wonder how Jesus would take this kind of disrespect for his long suffering mother. Orémus Y'all.
I am 75 years old and have loved Mary all my life, but I have never really deeply considered what Mary felt knowing her culture and what could happen to her when people found her pregnant. I've thought about her at the cross watching her son in pain and death.... I connected with it mostly when my son was taking his last breaths. I related to the birthing process but never really deeply considered her concerns , feelings during it all. Your video made me think deeper into all these things. It's like meeting an old friend in a much deeper way. Thank you.
@@tony1685 Church has existed for more than 2000 yrs, according to Church History, Jesus had brought Mary up to heaven, nobody not focusing on Jesus, but we can also learn from the great people in the Bible and learn how they love God =)
@@lamkw6329 hi LKKK - you wrote: _'Church has existed for more than 2000 yrs...'_ - But Scripture proves this isn't His church. it doesn't meet His criteria. _'...according to Church History, Jesus has brought Mary up....'_ - see Isaiah 8:20, Deuteronomy 4:2, 12:32 and Revelation 22:18 - it's not Biblical. catholicism hates Christ friend - they teach the most evil things in the world about God. it's heartbreaking you can't see these simple facts.
have a few. like. She did not die a Virgen. Matthew 1:24-25 King James Version 24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus. Mary had more kids. Mark 6:3 “Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.” Mary is asleep not in heaven. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 King James Version 13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words. There is only one mediator. 1 Timothy 2:5 King James Version 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; The rosary is not of God. for he hates repitition. Matthew 6:5-8 King James Version 5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. Get out of men's religions, their churches their temples their synagogues. for God does not dwell in non if them. They are all false. confusion and division and after men's traditions not the word of God. Acts 17:24-28 King James Version 24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Mark 7:7-13 King James Version 7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: 11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. 12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; 13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. Amen. this is the word of God.
Thank you Brandon. I think you have a pastor’s heart for people. Your prayers and spiritual insight are so compassionate. God bless you in ways you’ve never imagined!
I'm so sorry Brandon, but Jesus was not born in a house. Read your Bible again or at least read the right version of the Bible. He was born in a stable and when he got a little older they moved into a house where the three Wiseman saw him.
I asked a lot of these questions when I was a young Christian and I always got answers from the Lord he loved his Earthly mother no doubt and if you use God's love which is what he has and is then you know that Jesus loved his mother as God love's each one of us with an intense longing love
God bless you for explaining the challenges Virgin Mary faced and how dangerous the environment was for her. Many people don't understand it properly. We should never forget how much obedient Joseph was as well.
I had mnother that didn't like her situation marriage she take one outfit per child leave I remember asking whercee going to live eat my mother would say Jesus going to take care of us and thinking about Jesus always did take care of 5 kids I'm always had warm place foodno matter what situation.
#1: The risk to Mary based on her pregnancy. Very good and valid point. This is why G_d sent Mary to visit Elizabeth. Elizabeth would understand better than any since her pregnancy was miraculous as well. Plus, it got Mary out of Nazareth for three months.
@@sheilalangston7035 Good question. It is out of respect for the Jewish tradition not to pronounce the Holy Name of G_d ( יהוה ) which appears in the OT 6,828 times and although G_d is English, not Hebrew. In the Jewish culture, G_d is referred to as Adonai (LORD) or HaShem (The Name). We never see G_d's Holy Name in our English translations because modern publishers have almost universally adopted the practice of replacing ( יהוה ) with "the LORD".
You really think after the Holy Spirit impregnants Mary she wasn't assured of her safety? I don't think God's plan had any risks to Mary, and she most likely knew it.
@@Fedeleness You and Elizabeth both make good points. And you are absolutely correct in that G_d did protect Mary and Jesus at least three times that we know about: Sending Mary to see Elizabeth could be considered the first time. Then G_d told Joseph in a dream to head to Egypt in order to get out of the way of Herod (Mt 2:3) and to fulfill prophesy (Hos 11:1). And finally, G_d told Joseph in another dream that it was safe to return to Israel but to take the family to Nazareth instead of Bethlehem in order to stay away from Archelaus (Mt 2:19-23). Nazareth was a quiet little town up in the hills where Jesus could grow up without drawing much attention.
@Elizabeth Pitts Not what Revelation teaches us about Jesus! As HE is born the dragon tries to kill Him immediately! Jesus Mary & Joseph have to flee to Egypt from Herod
Good explanation. However do not agree with comment of Jesus dismissing His mother when he said 'who is my mother, brother and sister. Whoever obeys the will of my father in heaven is my mother, brother and sister'. In fact Jesus was emphasising that Mary is His mother not just because she birthed and nursed Him, but because she obeyed the will of the father 'let thy will be done'. Also remember that Jesus would not have disrespected Mary, and disobeyed the fourth commandment.
ToJane. I wholeheartedly agree w you. I would like to mention something else. When the Holy Spirit 'overshadowed' Mary, there is no mentioned He ever departed from her. She, Mary, us the Daughter of God the Father, Mother I'd the Son, and Spouse if the Holy Spirit. A third point, regarding St Joseph. Since he knew the Scriptures, when the Ark of the Covenant (OT) was about to tip over, the one who put of Respect for it's contents, steadied it w his hand, since he did not have permission to touch The Ark, he died. Since Our Blessed Mother,Mary, is the Ark of the New Covenant, how much more would St Joseph be Respectful of Mary....not out of fear; but rather out of a deep love for her Sanctity, and Holiness! How unworthy he must have felt. The Angel told him to fear not to take Mary as his wife as the Child in Mary womb was conceived by the Power of the Holy Spirit. Amen and amen. Rosemarie
I agree. But this young man reads too much into the possible emotions of a people that existed 2000 yrs ago. They were much different than us. Not impressed with his way of voice tonality. Exaggerates too much.
I have been able to get through my trials and tribulations the only reason is because Jesus has been with me for all of my life thank you Lord for loving me unconditional
In such gratitude for Mother Mary, for her example of faith and trust, courage and fortitude, capacity to endure suffering with Jesus, and her expression of humility.
@Traditional Catholic Male♱ I am not disrespecting Mary by telling the truth about her. Please prove from scripture where it says Mary is the Mother of the Church.
@Traditional Catholic Male♱you are insulting the Biblical Mary and Jesus by saying Mary is the Mother of the Church as Jesus is the only Head of the Church. There is no Mother of the Church.
@@AnnetteMurphyger no but what mother will bear see her son die on the Cross, imagine the pain and anguish she went through seeing her son being nailed to cross in great pain
Thank you again, Brandon, for this beautiful talk today! You have made me love Jesus even more through Mary’s love for her Son. I am so grateful for your teachings and I pray for you and your family too. God bless you and keep you, and may His light shine upon you always. 🙏
I read over a lot of those comments and all I wondered was where is the love? Love for God the father, love for Jesus the son, love for Mary although I don't pray to her I am grateful for her and her faithfulness to the Lord, love for Brandon who did this awesome teaching and love for each other? Where is it because Jesus is coming back for 1bride,1church,1people who love God with all our might and love each other. So where does all of that conflict fall? Jesus wants a pure heart that loves him and follows him. Where are those people at? Because this is probably the only comment that I saw that was done in love. Smh. Lord please forgive us for being so human that we need to boast and quarrel over things that only you can reveal to us. Forgive us Lord because we truly do perish for lack of knowledge.
I'd never considered the idea that Mary, through storytelling, would have been instrumental in telling the gospel. What an eye opener! Thank you so much for sharing your insights. I always learn something new about scripture (which I've read hundreds of times over many years) after listening to you !
Mary always points to her son, that’s why catholics say the rosary, it’s the same Mary teaching the story’s of scripture and pointing to Jesus always all through the centuries.
The only way that St. Luke would have known would have been straight from the mouth of Mary. Jesus' destiny was revealed to Our Lady by the angel Gabriel, and we are told that she "...pondered these things in her heart.." As a medical doctor, Luke would have been very interested in the birth of Jesus. He goes into small details, such as the fact that Elizabeth was in her third month of pregnancy, and that is how we calculate the birth of St. John the Baptist as June 24th.
Quite amazing that God condescended to send an angel to clue Joseph in about what was really going on. All He had to do was command him to shelter Mary and the baby and Joseph, being a godly man, would have done so out of obedience. Can you just imagine the difference it made to Joseph for the rest of his life, knowing his wife hadn't been unfaithful to him? That's a marvelous example of the Love of God. Thank you for this wonderful perspective.
Joseph found out Mary was pregnant before they married, that's why he was going to "put her away" (not marry her). That's why God sent the angel to clue him in and tell him that she was indeed a virgin, and the Child was legitimate and of God.
As we love Marry .. others think that we are worshiping Marry But we worship Jesus .. but we love marry for all what u explain Excellent explanation, excellent analysis Thank u 🙏
Mary is the very witness that Jesus is one of us, not some super angel. That he was fully human. and contrary to the teachings of Muslims, not merely a prophet. but the very Word incarnate. Yet, as even they admit, he was also son of a woman. As she also was with him at the end, she gave testimony to the fact and significance of his death.
A true tribute. I chose Mary as my Confirmation name. One question that rolls around my head sometimes is "What if she had said no?". How many mothers today would be vessels for such a man, knowing what He would endure at the end? I don't know if I would have had the strength she did to see the Prophecy through.
Mary would not have known all what this blessing would entail. She was willing and obedient to God. Joseph was told not to be afraid to take Mary as his wife by the angel in his dream. Not told to be her guardian. When they traveled to Bethlehem it doesn't say they traveled with family...Joseph took Mary... Don't add to the scriptures. Respect what God chose to have the apostles wrote by inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Ask God to give you wisdom in all things. Watch out for traditions of men, the Pharisees were guilty of adding...
I could not imagine being in Mary's position, watching the worst thing being done to the son that came from your body. Like her though, I would definitely be there as my child died, just as I was there when he was born. She definitely is the number one woman to emulate.
I love the way u went into depth with this study. It reminds me about the passage in the Bible when they ran out of wine at the party, when Mary told Jesus there was no wine, Jesus, than responded to his mother "what do I have to do with that my time has not yet come" at the same time Mary told the disciples to do as he says. Mother and son knew each other heart, if Mary did not know much at least she knew the responsibilities that was put on her son shoulders. He is the light of the world. Thank u brandon.
I've noted something in scripture that I've taken to calling the reciprocal command. Mary: "Do whatever he tells you." Jesus: "Behold your mother." She's the spiritual mother of all Christians.
@@3ggshe11s Mary's motherhood of all Christians is further reinforced in Revelation 12:17. All those who observe the commandments and bear witness to Jesus are also children of her whose seed will rule over all the nations in Revelation 12:5. Blessings 🙏
This series is amazing. The one on Matthew was on my recommendation. I got a greater understanding of the Gospels from a different point of view. I'm hooked. I'm going to come back to these videos after I read the books with a fresh set of eyes and spiritual understanding. Thank you for taking time to share this with us. It is such a blessing! Lots of Love❤️ from India 🇮🇳
The way in your videos you always impart the biblical(Torah) teachings is so simple and yet so profound. I love watching. I'm (netzarite messianic/nazarene messianic) I don't know how to say it properly in English. I celebrate all the festivities in the Torah and Hanukkah too. Love how you explain Myriam's position and importance in Yeshua's live. She had to be more than special to be the chosen one between all the Jewish women. I celebrate the messiah's birth during the festivity of sukkot, and celebrate that festivity with so much love and excitement, we always prepare a sukkah like the one where He was born. We do it or try to do it like in Israel. So again thank you so much for your beautiful teachings.
Thank you Brandon, you are very engaging when you tell this story, your eyes speak as well, your voice makes wonder, your body language tell as much…… you make every episode alive. It’s beautiful that you interject a few Jewish words we can learn, you make it interesting .
Religion and politics should never be discussed, because some people think they know everything. I worship Mary if I feel , it's no one business. Some people are making fools of themselves. Congratulations.
Simply excellent, thank you for sharing the love JC has for us and the love his mother has for us as well! Mary was such a faithful mother till the very end of Jesus's life. And yes, to know that scripture came from Mary is simply outstanding. Thank you andGod bless you! Thank you Mother Mary for your obedience to God ! Amen
It does not matter where he was born. He was borned and has influenced people for generations. He is real and has talked to people in our times through visions and near death experiences. We know he existed and is divine.
Thank you for this study tonight. I really appreciate being prayed for. My heart has been hurt recently (as a Mom) and I need Jesus to mend it. Your message and prayer meant so much. I noted ALL of the details about Mary, especially that she was the only one who could have relayed the historical information to the gospel writers, in my Bible.
OH I can relate to your pain. My heart has been very hurt as a mom. I wonder why this happens. I pray to our Lord and hope he has an answer. God Bless you.
quote---I noted ALL of the details about Mary, especially that she was the only one who could have relayed the historical information to the gospel writers, in my Bible.--unquote--- 2Tim. 3 Verses 16 to 17 [16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [17] That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. Inspired by God--NOT MARY!!!
I have just been re-reading the gospels and my understanding is coming in full agreement with what you have developed here. Thank you so much for this new insight of the scripture.
But remember what the Bible says in 2 Tim. 5-6: “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all-“ This is why we make our requests only to our Lord when praying; because he is the Almighty God.
The angel, Gabriel told Mary in Luke 1:28 that she was highly favored by God. … God knew that Mary was a woman of rare strength. She was the only human being to be with Jesus throughout his entire life-from birth until death. She gave birth to Jesus as her baby and watched him die as her Savior.
The Angel Gabriel is an imaginary being. There is no reliable proof whatsoever that any beings such as angels actually exist or that God is an all male trio. Jesus is no one's 'savior' because 'savior' is not a proper word in the English language. Christianity teaches that Jesus was our saviour because he died for our sins. However, the bible and Christianity are very clearly inventions of the human imagination. All religion is invented by the human mind and the belief that God is an all male trio and yet one at the same time is an insult to womankind. Non-religious people are just as likely, and often more so, than religious people are to be good, kind, upright and honest. This important truth has been proved absolutely over and over again. Both Hitler and Stalin were brought up in very religious Christian families and Stalin trained to become an Orthodox Christian priest for some time before he turned to Communism. whilst Hitler never renounced his Roman Catholic faith. Religion has been the main cause of strife and wars for well over 2000 years.

Jesus was mentioned 335 times by name after he returned to heaven. Mary was so important to the apostles when they were writing the New Testament that they didn't even mention her once after Jesus returned to heaven. Her job was completed. Her job was to give birth to and raise Jesus. She nothing to do with salvation. Luke 11:27-28 ESV - 27 As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!” 28 But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”

I just love how you, sir, consistently read between the lines and come up with these possibilities. And the way you deliver your personal insights is rooted in the traditions in Jesus' time and not just merely assuming things could happen like that. All of it truly makes sense. I mean I could never think of it this way ever. And your compassion in telling all of these has been helping me personally to be able to relate to their lives, to atleast feel what it was like living back to those divine days. I am always waiting for your new uploads. Have a good week, sir. 🙂
I wish you were had a ministry here on Long Island. Thank you for your teachings. At the end you made me do the ugly cry😭 I felt you were talking directly to me🫂 going through so many things right now, and wish I could be Baptized again to be closer to Jesus and God. ✝️🫂🙏🏼
Brandon , you really delve deep into your subject, and give your listeners a pretty good idea of it. Mary is one of my most favourite characters in the Bible and you have given a very deeply researched view of her, things I have never known. So thank you so much and God bless you young man in your mission.
7 sorrows of Mary: 1.Prophecy of Simeon 2. The Flight into Egypt 3. The loss of Jesus for 3 days 4. Mary meets Jesus on the Way to Calvary 5. Jesus dies on the cross 6. Mary receives the dead body of Jesus 7. Jesus is laid in the tomb. Oh Mary, Conceived without sin, pray for us Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us❤️
I never thought of how the details of the birth of Jesus became known through Mary. Of course that makes sense and I'm thankful you brought it to my attention.
This came up in my recommended videos. I just wanted to thank you for making such a respectful presentation on someone who can be such a divisive figure for a lot of Christians. When you say "some people" think Jesus was an only child, that's quite an understatement, considering about two-thirds of world Christianity (Catholicism and Orthodoxy) believes in Mary's perpetual virginity! There's a theological significance to the doctrine that gets lost in all the mud-flinging, and I have no interest in debating it here. Regarding Mary as a source of Gospel information, there's an old tradition that says Luke sat down with Mary and interviewed her, making her the source for much of what's written in his Gospel. From someone who was raised Catholic, and for whom Mary was a very important figure, thanks again. Nicely done.
Jewish law would have forbidden Jesus's mother Mary to be given to John as she would have to have been given to a son or daughter of Mary's. That was Jewish law back then
Mary would be the first person to tell you not to worship her or pray to her. Mary never confused herself for deity, rather she was a willing vessel for God. Jesus said no man comes to the Father except through me.
@@donthatethemessenger777 She was a willing vessel, that is why she is the Ark of the New Covenant and carried in her womb the Bread of life (remember the manna?), the Word Made Flesh (remember the tablets?), the True High Priest (remember the Rod of Aaron?). Mary was made pure and Holy as a worthy vessel for the Son of God not just some woman under the dominion of Satan! God is not and shall never be subordinate to Satan!
@@revelation12_1 Jesus said no man comes to the Father except through Me. Mary went on to have other children therefore she was no longer a virgin. Is she in heaven, absolutely! But she is not deity, the disciples followed Jesus, not Mary. Praying to Mary and rubbing rosary beads will not forgive your sins. Matter of fact it is considered idolatry and is a lie from the Devil.
You Hear and see and understand.. Your Wisdom is a beacon of hope.. I have no words that can describe how amazing and wonderful it is To watch you teach ... Thank you .. My heart and soul ...
What makes Mary even more amazing is the common belief she is a teenager during her pregnancy. What a strong woman who endured so much. Shows God doesn’t pick the most logical or qualified person for His work. He prepares the under qualified for His mission. A theme seen throughout the Bible. Even Jesus (who was most qualified) was born into and lived in circumstances that were at odds to His holy mission. Isaiah 55:8-9
The whole Christmas story represents the need to be free of judgement. Holy Mother is what we would today call an " unwed mother" yet she birthed the Emmanuel. The Christ child was born in a manger yet today we worship celebrities. There is much honor in simplicity.
Well-spoken Joy Garab: [Mary] never doubted him or thought HE was crazy. After living with Him for those myterious 30 years of his "hidden life" before His public ministry began, she knew Him. She knew Him better than anybody on this earth. Barry
I want to commend Mr B Robbins for his efforts. I'm sure this takes a lot of time and resources. I am going to look into supporting his ministry. God bless all those who are searching for biblical knowledge and understanding.
Thank you, Brandon. I did know the first two things, but never considered the other five. Your invitation to Christ at the video's end was also very heartfelt!
It is Jesus who is "full of grace and truth" (John 1:14); not Mary who were only "favored" (Luke 1:28). And we should only pray to the Creator God; not creatures (Romans 1:25). Mary is human, a created mortal being, she's still dead like most of the deads (John 3:13; Acts 2:29). Don't create your own doctrine, "the commandments of men" (Matthew 5:9).
@@whosays2153 Another protestant dog is barking? No problem, let me humiliate you and put you in your place. 1. The Blessed Virgin is also full of grace. That is what the Archangel tells Her when he meets Her in the Gospel of Luke. 2. Saint Paul is talking about worship, not prayer. We don't worship Mary when we pray to Her, we only venerate Her because She is worthy of veneration. 3. All those who died and were saved are now in Heaven, alive forever and ever. This idea of some sleep until the resurrection is a heresy which was rejected by Church Fathers. 4. The Church is guided by Christ. It is not a commandment of men, it is the Body of Christ here on earth. If you bark again, I will humiliate you again and put you back in your post-Reformation pigsty where you belong. So humble yourself and don't act up.
@@whosays2153 Yeah in protestant Bible. Anyone can ask prayer help from anyone else, including (and especially) saints. Read Mathew 27:53 "The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people." Once you've read Mathew, read Revelation 12.
@@whosays2153 Favor and Grace are the same in the original Greek - (Kecharitomene). Grace means unmerited FAVOR given by God and who said that Mary is not a mortal being? The only false doctrine is the sola scriptura heresy from the heresy of protestantism
Mary is not the mother of God. This is impossible! God has no mother. Why? Because God is Spirit. How could a mortal being and sinner, be the mother of a holy God, who created everything, who never had a beginning and has no end? Anybody can give me a biblical answer to this?
Mary's journey was not n easy one - always fearful, always in anticipation of what to expect... but at the end of the day, her faith overcame her fears.... what was important to her was to magnify her son n not herself.... N that changed the course of mankind's outlook... Amen 🙋
Saint Joseph did not doubt the innocence of Mary, but his own unworthiness on God's plan of this sublime mystery! Peace always in Jesus Christ our Great and Kind God and Savior, He whose Flesh is true food and Blood true drink

Brandon I am always amazed when I hear this story of Mary as if she told you the story herself, you tell it like it. I listen your message about Mary now for the third time because I believe it is the message closest to the original story of Mary. Many think of Mary differently but she suffered for the chooses she chose to listen GOD and risk it all. Truly Mary is the closest person here on earth whom HE call her My Lady.
Thank you for recognizing the bravery and faith of both Mary and Joseph. As for Mary’s knowledge that Christ was the Messiah I believe she had grace and faith that allowed her to accept the motherhood of Jesus. She knew exactly what she was doing and the possible consequences. Elizabeth also acknowledged her at her visit with Elizabeth. Elizabeth greeted her as “ the mother of my Lord”. Mary actually told Elizabeth of how God had blessed her. In fact she stated that “all generations shall call me blessed” Luke 1: 46-55. She was told at Jesus”s presentation by. Simeon that several swords would pierce her heart. Mary became pregnant without having had intercourse with a man, she had been dedicated to God as an infant and raised in the temple until she was twelve. There is no way she doubted Christ’s identity. With such a large family there were bound to be members who did not believe that Jesus was the Messiah. Therefore I believe that Jesus’s statement asking Who is my mother, brother,……. Was a statement not of rejection of Mary and His family but a teaching that His followers who accepted His words were His family and possibly a message to those who did not. At the time of Christ’s words the crowds were so great that He could not eat or drink and thee Scribes were telling the people that Christ was possessed by demons. The Scribes were looking for ways to shut Jesus up. The family was concerned for His safety. I am certain that Mary was also quite concerned. In NO way would Mary have thought Jesus was crazy. She knew full well Who He was.
Yes, Mary knew who Jesus was and of the power with God that He had. She told the servants at the wedding in Cana to" do what He tells you to do". His brothers, including James, did not believe in who Jesus was until after the resurrection.
You are correct about stories being important. If Holocaust survivors would not have shared what they endured and continued to share their traditions for future generations? Even in my family, we re-tell family stories all the time, and laugh as if we have not heard them before. This video is so rich with good insight. Thank you.
Brandon, you are a good witness for our Lord Jesus, and you show discernment in showing how Mary witnessed beautifully for the Lord, her earthly son, in so many lovely ways. We are not all preachers or teachers, but we can witness in simple ways, kind acts of mercy and faithfulness to God/Jesus/The Holy Spirit in ways that Mary did, to the point of standing at the foot of the Cross. She was a special lady, though human and in need of a Savior, as are we, and only Jesus can intercede for our sins, since He was the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. We cannot diminish His sacrifice. Mary would never want that also. I also liked Jody Greiner’s text on the place of Jesus’ birth. Enlightening, thank you, Jodi.
Susan, you’ve explained my thoughts, exactly. Thank you for having the courage and conviction to say what Brandon, for all his beautiful and well researched lessons, has not said. Since most women, especially wealthy women, in El Salvador where I live, seem to have very little interest in Jesus, I understand why a Mexican journalist once said that Mexico is not Christian but Guadalupano. I have always admired Mother Mary and considered her the most noble of women, chosen by God the Father to nurture His only begotten son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. I do not pray to her or ever call her the Virgin. I was attending a Roman Catholic Church in Nashville when I lived there; but the Latin American Roman Catholic Church is not sound doctrine, from everything I have seen of it. I sincerely believe Mother Mary would be offended by the way she is idolized and used as a substitute for her Son.
I am one who believes that Jesus was born at the Migdal Eder tower near Bethlehem, according to Micha 4:8. Not that it matters, but if so, then it’s easy to understand why the shepherds knew exactly where to go when the angel told them they would find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. You see, the tower at Migdal Eder was originally a watch tower for the town of Bethlehem that had been converted into a nursery for new born lambs. The shepherds were Temple shepherds whose job it was to bring flawless lambs to the priests of the Temple for sacrifice. As soon as the lamb/s were born, they were brought to the tower and examined for imperfections. If flawless, they would be wrapped in strips of cloth to prevent injury of any kind and laid in a manger, which was a large stone carved bowl. There were probably several in the tower by the time Jesus was born. I can see how desperate Mary and Joseph would have been to have a place to birth Mary’s baby. Since the shepherds were out in the field, they had no choice but to go in and find a place for Mary to give birth. Then, as was customary, wrap baby Jesus in swaddling clothes, and place Him in one of the mangers. How fitting that the little Lamb of God be born in the tower of Migdal Eder!!
Yes,I heard that also from a Messianic researcher. And it would make sense since the sheep for the sacrifices were raised in Bethlehem. When I tell people this,I say, the spotless lamb of God was placed in the manger,wrapped in swaddling,which was the frayed hems of the priestly robes, worshipped by the shepherds. Whose responsibility it was to find the spotless lamb. It makes so much sense if you know the history of the area. Especially why He was the lamb of God.
I learned that the undergarments of the priests were considered sacred. So they were burnt at the Temple in Jerusalem. As were Jesus's swaddling sacred and burnt at the Temple for all to see His shining light.
@@nanadeborah8717 wow ! You and Jodi just taught me something I have never heard before that’s awesome 👏🏼 thank you both, I truly appreciate this knowledge. I will sure pass this along 🙏🏼
Amen and once again I say Amen,, and may the Almighty God count me amongst those He's Blessing with prosperity and abundance in Jesus Mighty Name 🙏🙏🙏 Amen+++
I see that whole event as a direct perfect teaching from our Father. ALL are relevant, 'especially' those who have 'not' met our Father through Jesus, that is stated. When you speak about Mary saying Jesus was "crazy" etc., my first thoughts when I heard it, was that she was protecting Him, in 'fear' for Him, when she arrived. I understood her and more than likely I'd have done the same sort of thing for my child's sake. It just resonates that way every time for me Mary is brought up. Our father cut her off from Him to teach her and us about yet another angle of faith. No fear. The Bible tells us 400 times not to fear for He is in charge. The most impossible can become possible. If we ever have to die for our beliefs in Him, we are in good company I'd say. It's not about this world and it's limited time, but it is the test for your soul. Thank you for this show and it's words. May our Lord continue to shine upon you.
@@arnoldusrichard3888 I truly believe we will know He is with us, a calm, a peace about it because we know where and with whom we are about to enter within. One form or another. I believe Him when He says 'have no fear for I am with you' ; brings me great comfort. I hope you think on it. Blessing~
As a catholic, your commentary was the most wonderful characterization of Mary that I have ever heard and now I know why I love her so much! You are amazing, Brandon! Keep ministering all your life!
God bless you my sister. Just don't slip into idolatry please. Be very cautious with the level of honor you bestow Mary. Some catholics do indeed slip into worship, which is not right. But she is surely blessed
Honoring not worshipping Mary makes sense. The Hail Mary is reciting a few lines of scripture. Then asking for her to pray for us. In the Jewish kingdoms as it says in the Bible the queen was the king’s mother and her role was an intercessor. The king bows when the queen walks in. Even the king follows God’s laws “honor you father and mother”. Jesus lived God’s laws perfectly. He would honor his mother and since he is the King of kings, his mother would be the queen of queens and he would expect us to ask her intercession for us and to guid us to him.
@@btandthebear6021 You're making a huge amount of logical leaps there that aren't biblical but let's leave it at that as a severe disagreement. Focus is all for Christ to receive all glory.
@@Andromedon777 we can both agree the focus is on Christ. Like the gospel of Luke says “whoever is not against you is for you” Catholics ask Mary to help guide us to her son. She did a better job of focusing on Christ than I have so I like the help of an expert on the subject. There’s also a lot of misunderstanding between denominations and what they teach. Unfortunately a lot of Catholics don’t even understand what their own church teaches. It’s definitely not to worship Mary though.
@@btandthebear6021 Right, the official Catholic doctrine does not teach what a lot of Catholics do regarding Mary (which some even extends to worship) so yes, let us focus together on Christ. I just really don't want you guys being guilty of idolatry for praying to saints when the bible says don't. But, I don't think it is something you will lose your salvation over by any means if you have saving faith in the biblical Christ.
I dont know if you have read any of the new testament but the scribes and parishes who memorized large portions of the old testament including the descriptions and prophecies of the coming messiah didn't recognize who he was the apostles didn't know what was going on they expected him to take the throne of David even after he rose from the dead when he ascended into heaven they were lost and went fishing. John the Baptist his cousin and someone who Jesus said was greater than the prophets had to ask him who he was. All because Satan would not have crucified him if anyone figured out who he really was and that had to happen so he could legally take back possession of this planet that Adam had turned over to Satan. Its not Mary's fault he kept it a secret but she did doubt and question him once when he was 12 and again in Matthew 3 20
This is so eye opening for me. I was raised in the Catholic religion so we were spoon fed what we were to believe. Since becoming an adult I have learned so much more about my direct relationship with God, not through a priest. Brandon Robbins gives me a different perspective on how to look at the human side of Mary and Joseph and the culture they lived in and the religious rules they had to follow. I’m 73 years old and I’m in awe that I am still learning how much God loves me. God bless Brandon Robbins and his family. Diane
Hail Mary,full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb,Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.Amen.
We, Catholics just have so many more stories of Mother Mary, with us as we pray the Rosary daily and meditate through it, the conception,birth, life, death and ressurection of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you Mother Mary for your love for me and my family.

@@esthermiller2713 No, we do not know His Reasons, but that does not change the fact that she was the vessel for His Divine Presence to become fully human, flesh, bones and blood.
@@esthermiller2713 of course we are! Mary was a Royal princess from the line of Judah the kingly line from David Reduced to a stump ~ lowly humbled But full of faith.
I am DIVINELY connected to Mother Mary since I was a child, the fragrance of Roses is always present when I feel her presence...she is always nurturing, kind, loving and reminds me of the truth of who I am...a DIVINE BEING created in human form to be an expression of God on this beautiful planet 💞✨🙏🌈🦋💫
Years ago, I had an atheist mgr. She was very rude and disrespectful to Christians. She was a bully to me, so I tried to stay out of her way. One day, a co-worker came into the break room to ask for prayer. When she left, the mgr mocked her viciously. I did pray for her, but I have NEVER stopped regretting that I didn't stand up for my faith that day. It still makes me feel ashamed. I do my best to be the 1st one to speak up now. Someone else may need the support.
But you did stand up for your faith by praying with her. That was huge and what yr coworker needed. Maybe, just maybe, you were not supposed to stand up against the atheist mgr at that moment like it wldve been casting pearls before swine. I believe from your story God was pleased that you met the need of yr coworker by praying. Just my thoughts on your comment, God bless you always.
I love when you speak about Jesus you have such faith and love for our Lord that is so beautiful. A genuine love which is uplifting and pure and sincere. Thank you Brandon.❤
Thank you very much . I am very happy for this information because it will free so many people . God bless all that work hard for the truth of the gospel.
THANK YOU SO MUCH BRANDON. I LIVE ALONE AND EXPERIENCE WHAT LONELINESS IS. I ALWAYS SAY IM ALONE...ONLY RECENTLY IM SOUGHT OF BEGINNING TO THINK THAT JESUS IS ALWAYS WITH ME. I SPEND EVERY HOLIDAY ALONE...AND MOSTLY ITS DIFFICULT TO HAVE THE CONSOLATION OF CHRIST BUT IM BEGINNING TO SEE AND UNDERSTAND.....
@@GGSBTBOFTL you are right that Jesus' own mother had a real mother. And grandparents, too. You also know Mary was at the foot of the cross on which her Son was hung. And that He gave his mother to John the favorite apostle. Those previously pronounced words were too painful from the cross to not have more meaning. She is indeed your mother also. Don't be afraid of her. She only and always will lead you to her Son. You can go to Him directly, for sure. Mary has been sent through the ages and even today to spread grace to help bring many more to her Son.
@@bajone02 you talk about her like she is a deity, she is a mortal woman long gone now in heaven and as a soul in heaven cannot be omnipresent or hear prayers like the LORD.
Thank you for providing a very clear explanation of the situations contained in the Bible surrounding the lives of Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the situations they endured. As you speak I can see the Bible “coming to life” in a fascinating way. Thank you for your thorough explanations and teachings of God’s word. God Bless 🙏🏼
When his family heard about The miracles and the teaching Jesus was doing they went to take charge of him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.”” Mark 3:20-21 NIV “Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.” “Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked. Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”” Mark 3:31-35 NIV Mary and her other son’s became believers after Jesus Resurrection.
We should remember that Mary was like the Apostles present in the room when the Holy Spirit descended on them at the birth of the church and like the Apostle received the same Spirit and all the gifts imparted to them was given to her as as well . So she was able to impart all that she pondered in her heart. Tradition tell us that Luke stayed with her in John home hence the account of the Annunciation and subsequent events surrounding the Birth of her son. Tabernacle of the Most High pray for us.
Matthew 12: 46. While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. 47. Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. 48. But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? 49. And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 50. For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Hi im Jesus. Can someone help me now?
I loved your 7 things about Mother Mary. But one sentence even more has me touched: "Jesus is always with us, even in the worst moment." you said. This I had experienced before my big operation in 2020. I felt him beside me. Last summer I was baptized with water and spirit.
Are you born again?
Why call her Mother Mary she is not our Mother!
Well, since I am the same soul as Jesus, it could not be me. But since our soul come out of our body when we sleep, my soul maybe traveled to you, when you needed someone 🙂
@@lordjohanneswhat in heaven's name are you taking about?
Christ on the cross said she was our mother.
Mic drop.
It wears me out that so many otherwise faithful disparage Our Lord's mother, the New Ark of the Covenant. I wonder how Jesus would take this kind of disrespect for his long suffering mother.
Orémus Y'all.
I am 75 years old and have loved Mary all my life, but I have never really deeply considered what Mary felt knowing her culture and what could happen to her when people found her pregnant. I've thought about her at the cross watching her son in pain and death.... I connected with it mostly when my son was taking his last breaths. I related to the birthing process but never really deeply considered her concerns , feelings during it all. Your video made me think deeper into all these things. It's like meeting an old friend in a much deeper way. Thank you.
why not focus on the Saviour - rather than the created.
Mary was not sinless nor virgin and is now dead, Ma'am.
please study the Christian Bible.
Mary Magdalene and her sister Martha was at the cross with Jesus; not his mother Mary of Nazareth

His Mother Mary was at the cross and John the Apostle. The other Apostles were too frightened.
@@tony1685 Church has existed for more than 2000 yrs, according to Church History, Jesus had brought Mary up to heaven, nobody not focusing on Jesus, but we can also learn from the great people in the Bible and learn how they love God =)
@@lamkw6329 hi LKKK - you wrote: _'Church has existed for more than 2000 yrs...'_ - But Scripture proves this isn't His church.
it doesn't meet His criteria.
_'...according to Church History, Jesus has brought Mary up....'_ - see Isaiah 8:20, Deuteronomy 4:2, 12:32 and Revelation 22:18 - it's not Biblical.

25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.

Mary is asleep not in heaven.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
King James Version
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

King James Version
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

You have got me in tears! The way you explain things… is soooo awesome. The emotion, care and love. Thank you.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today!!!!!
Thank you Brandon. I think you have a pastor’s heart for people. Your prayers and spiritual insight are so compassionate. God bless you in ways you’ve never imagined!
I'm so sorry Brandon, but Jesus was not born in a house. Read your Bible again or at least read the right version of the Bible. He was born in a stable and when he got a little older they moved into a house where the three Wiseman saw him.
I asked a lot of these questions when I was a young Christian and I always got answers from the Lord he loved his Earthly mother no doubt and if you use God's love which is what he has and is then you know that Jesus loved his mother as God love's each one of us with an intense longing love
I guess, my brother loves mom even though his dad raped her to conceive him.
God bless you for explaining the challenges Virgin Mary faced and how dangerous the environment was for her. Many people don't understand it properly. We should never forget how much obedient Joseph was as well.
Was he there? How would he know
They lived in perilous times with a price on Jesus's head. It was a very stressful journey for both her and Joseph and later the young Jesus.

In the Tanakh which is the Hebrew Bible, there is not virgin in Isaiah, and only a young maiden. This is what Matthew got wrong. Jesus was a bastard.

Humility, prudence and faith is just what Mary is.
#1: The risk to Mary based on her pregnancy. Very good and valid point. This is why G_d sent Mary to visit Elizabeth. Elizabeth would understand better than any since her pregnancy was miraculous as well. Plus, it got Mary out of Nazareth for three months.
Why do you leave the O out of GOD?
@@sheilalangston7035 Good question. It is out of respect for the Jewish tradition not to pronounce the Holy Name of G_d ( יהוה ) which appears in the OT 6,828 times and although G_d is English, not Hebrew. In the Jewish culture, G_d is referred to as Adonai (LORD) or HaShem (The Name). We never see G_d's Holy Name in our English translations because modern publishers have almost universally adopted the practice of replacing ( יהוה ) with "the LORD".
You really think after the Holy Spirit impregnants Mary she wasn't assured of her safety? I don't think God's plan had any risks to Mary, and she most likely knew it.
@@Fedeleness You and Elizabeth both make good points. And you are absolutely correct in that G_d did protect Mary and Jesus at least three times that we know about: Sending Mary to see Elizabeth could be considered the first time. Then G_d told Joseph in a dream to head to Egypt in order to get out of the way of Herod (Mt 2:3) and to fulfill prophesy (Hos 11:1). And finally, G_d told Joseph in another dream that it was safe to return to Israel but to take the family to Nazareth instead of Bethlehem in order to stay away from Archelaus (Mt 2:19-23). Nazareth was a quiet little town up in the hills where Jesus could grow up without drawing much attention.
@Elizabeth Pitts Not what Revelation teaches us about Jesus!
As HE is born the dragon tries to kill Him immediately! Jesus Mary & Joseph have to flee to Egypt from Herod
Good explanation. However do not agree with comment of Jesus dismissing His mother when he said 'who is my mother, brother and sister. Whoever obeys the will of my father in heaven is my mother, brother and sister'. In fact Jesus was emphasising that Mary is His mother not just because she birthed and nursed Him, but because she obeyed the will of the father 'let thy will be done'. Also remember that Jesus would not have disrespected Mary, and disobeyed the fourth commandment.
Mary is our mother too jesus ordained it on the cross
ToJane. I wholeheartedly agree w you. I would like to mention something else. When the Holy Spirit 'overshadowed' Mary, there is no mentioned He ever departed from her. She, Mary, us the Daughter of God the Father, Mother I'd the Son, and Spouse if the Holy Spirit. A third point, regarding St Joseph. Since he knew the Scriptures, when the Ark of the Covenant (OT) was about to tip over, the one who put of Respect for it's contents, steadied it w his hand, since he did not have
permission to touch The Ark, he died. Since Our Blessed Mother,Mary, is the Ark of the New Covenant, how much more would St Joseph be Respectful of Mary....not out of fear; but rather out of a deep love for
her Sanctity, and Holiness! How unworthy he must have felt. The Angel told him
to fear not to take Mary as his wife as the Child in Mary womb was conceived by the Power of the Holy Spirit. Amen and amen. Rosemarie
I agree. But this young man reads too much into the possible emotions of a people that existed 2000 yrs ago. They were much different than us. Not impressed with his way of voice tonality. Exaggerates too much.
@PlanB tell that to jesus if you ever meet him
Mary seems to be the bone of contention with many.
She must have thought, well God gave me this child, so I have to live so He can be born . She was irreplaceable.
She is not was. There will never be any women like her because there is only one Lord Jesus Christ.
I have been able to get through my trials and tribulations the only reason is because Jesus has been with me for all of my life thank you Lord for loving me unconditional
In such gratitude for Mother Mary, for her example of faith and trust, courage and fortitude, capacity to endure suffering with Jesus, and her expression of humility.
She didn't suffer on a Cross though did she?
@Traditional Catholic Male♱ I am not disrespecting Mary by telling the truth about her. Please prove from scripture where it says Mary is the Mother of the Church.
@Traditional Catholic Male♱you are insulting the Biblical Mary and Jesus by saying Mary is the Mother of the Church as Jesus is the only Head of the Church. There is no Mother of the Church.
@@AnnetteMurphyger no but what mother will bear see her son die on the Cross, imagine the pain and anguish she went through seeing her son being nailed to cross in great pain

Thank you again, Brandon, for this beautiful talk today! You have made me love Jesus even more through Mary’s love for her Son. I am so grateful for your teachings and I pray for you and your family too. God bless you and keep you, and may His light shine upon you always. 🙏
Mary always points us to her son, Jesus.
I read over a lot of those comments and all I wondered was where is the love? Love for God the father, love for Jesus the son, love for Mary although I don't pray to her I am grateful for her and her faithfulness to the Lord, love for Brandon who did this awesome teaching and love for each other? Where is it because Jesus is coming back for 1bride,1church,1people who love God with all our might and love each other. So where does all of that conflict fall? Jesus wants a pure heart that loves him and follows him. Where are those people at? Because this is probably the only comment that I saw that was done in love. Smh. Lord please forgive us for being so human that we need to boast and quarrel over things that only you can reveal to us. Forgive us Lord because we truly do perish for lack of knowledge.
The comment I made pointed to yours being the only comment made in love. For some reason it went somewhere else.
I made a comment about your comment which was the only one I saw made with love.
Annette Bassett
It's always good to learn things about the positive people who are leading us in the journey that is set for us.
I'd never considered the idea that Mary, through storytelling, would have been instrumental in telling the gospel. What an eye opener! Thank you so much for sharing your insights. I always learn something new about scripture (which I've read hundreds of times over many years) after listening to you !
God reveals,”In HIS own time”. Too much TRUTH kept from us. 🌺
@@joycebrannen1943 -
Mary always points to her son, that’s why catholics say the rosary, it’s the same Mary teaching the story’s of scripture and pointing to Jesus always all through the centuries.
The only way that St. Luke would have known would have been straight from the mouth of Mary.
Jesus' destiny was revealed to Our Lady by the angel Gabriel, and we are told that she "...pondered these things in her heart.."
As a medical doctor, Luke would have been very interested in the birth of Jesus.
He goes into small details, such as the fact that Elizabeth was in her third month of pregnancy, and that is how we calculate the birth of St. John the Baptist as June 24th.
So true Kathryn Rudolph. Such an eye opener.
Quite amazing that God condescended to send an angel to clue Joseph in about what was really going on. All He had to do was command him to shelter Mary and the baby and Joseph, being a godly man, would have done so out of obedience. Can you just imagine the difference it made to Joseph for the rest of his life, knowing his wife hadn't been unfaithful to him? That's a marvelous example of the Love of God. Thank you for this wonderful perspective.
Joseph found out Mary was pregnant before they married, that's why he was going to "put her away" (not marry her). That's why God sent the angel to clue him in and tell him that she was indeed a virgin, and the Child was legitimate and of God.
As we love Marry .. others think that we are worshiping Marry
But we worship Jesus .. but we love marry for all what u explain
Excellent explanation, excellent analysis
Thank u 🙏
Mary is the very witness that Jesus is one of us, not some super angel. That he was fully human. and contrary to the teachings of Muslims, not merely a prophet. but the very Word incarnate. Yet, as even they admit, he was also son of a woman. As she also was with him at the end, she gave testimony to the fact and significance of his death.
I love Virgin Mother Mary. She is truly the mother of Jesus Christ. She is the most holy and beautiful woman ever to exist. I love HER.
Mary had kids after Jesus, shes offered a sin offering because she was a sinner , dont exalt her exalt GOD instead
The Blessed Mother is there for all of us. I started praying a daily Rosary about a year ago. It has changed my life.
@@BabyBoomerChannel Jesus is the only way, not a religion or church or woman
@@frankjames1955Giving birth is a sin😂
@@Indian43397 no , thats a crazy idea dude
Love and gratitude.
A true tribute. I chose Mary as my Confirmation name. One question that rolls around my head sometimes is "What if she had said no?". How many mothers today would be vessels for such a man, knowing what He would endure at the end? I don't know if I would have had the strength she did to see the Prophecy through.
That is so true. So it is only right and just to honor her and say that She participated in our Salvation thus making Her the Mediatrix of Grace.
She wouldn't have . She knew she was the one
Mary would not have known all what this blessing would entail. She was willing and obedient to God. Joseph was told not to be afraid to take Mary as his wife by the angel in his dream. Not told to be her guardian. When they traveled to Bethlehem it doesn't say they traveled with family...Joseph took Mary... Don't add to the scriptures. Respect what God chose to have the apostles wrote by inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Ask God to give you wisdom in all things. Watch out for traditions of men, the Pharisees were guilty of adding...
I could not imagine being in Mary's position, watching the worst thing being done to the son that came from your body. Like her though, I would definitely be there as my child died, just as I was there when he was born. She definitely is the number one woman to emulate.
I love the way u went into depth with this study. It reminds me about the passage in the Bible when they ran out of wine at the party, when Mary told Jesus there was no wine, Jesus, than responded to his mother "what do I have to do with that my time has not yet come" at the same time Mary told the disciples to do as he says. Mother and son knew each other heart, if Mary did not know much at least she knew the responsibilities that was put on her son shoulders. He is the light of the world. Thank u brandon.

I've noted something in scripture that I've taken to calling the reciprocal command.
Mary: "Do whatever he tells you."
Jesus: "Behold your mother."
She's the spiritual mother of all Christians.

Mary's motherhood of all Christians is further reinforced in Revelation 12:17. All those who observe the commandments and bear witness to Jesus are also children of her whose seed will rule over all the nations in Revelation 12:5.

Mary told the stewards servants, I'd suppose.

The way in your videos you always impart the biblical(Torah) teachings is so simple and yet so profound. I love watching. I'm (netzarite messianic/nazarene messianic) I don't know how to say it properly in English. I celebrate all the festivities in the Torah and Hanukkah too. Love how you explain Myriam's position and importance in Yeshua's live. She had to be more than special to be the chosen one between all the Jewish women. I celebrate the messiah's birth during the festivity of sukkot, and celebrate that festivity with so much love and excitement, we always prepare a sukkah like the one where He was born. We do it or try to do it like in Israel. So again thank you so much for your beautiful teachings.
The most common English phrase for someone of your beliefs is "Messianic Jew."
Thank you Brandon, you are very engaging when you tell this story, your eyes speak as well, your voice makes wonder, your body language tell as much…… you make every episode alive. It’s beautiful that you interject a few Jewish words we can learn, you make it interesting .
Let’s go Brandon
Religion and politics should never be discussed, because some people think they know everything. I worship Mary if I feel , it's no one business. Some people are making fools of themselves. Congratulations.

Thank you for this study tonight. I really appreciate being prayed for. My heart has been hurt recently (as a Mom) and I need Jesus to mend it. Your message and prayer meant so much.

Just prayed for you and the healing of your heart.

But remember what the Bible says in 2 Tim. 5-6: “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all-“
This is why we make our requests only to our Lord when praying; because he is the Almighty God.
I like that, that my boyfriend loves Jesus because to get to her intimately through Jesus. Gives me butterflies for my boyfriend.
The angel, Gabriel told Mary in Luke 1:28 that she was highly favored by God. … God knew that Mary was a woman of rare strength. She was the only human being to be with Jesus throughout his entire life-from birth until death. She gave birth to Jesus as her baby and watched him die as her Savior.
That's very reassuring to know where we would go when it's our turn to the eternal life promised.... 🙋👍👍👏👏👏
Amen and my faith and luv to our mother dear will never fade🌹💞
The Angel Gabriel is an imaginary being. There is no reliable proof whatsoever that any beings such as angels actually exist or that God is an all male trio. Jesus is no one's 'savior' because 'savior' is not a proper word in the English language. Christianity teaches that Jesus was our saviour because he died for our sins. However, the bible and Christianity are very clearly inventions of the human imagination. All religion is invented by the human mind and the belief that God is an all male trio and yet one at the same time is an insult to womankind. Non-religious people are just as likely, and often more so, than religious people are to be good, kind, upright and honest. This important truth has been proved absolutely over and over again. Both Hitler and Stalin were brought up in very religious Christian families and Stalin trained to become an Orthodox Christian priest for some time before he turned to Communism. whilst Hitler never renounced his Roman Catholic faith. Religion has been the main cause of strife and wars for well over 2000 years.

Mary had at least 7 children, that is a handful.
Jesus was mentioned 335 times by name after he returned to heaven.
Mary was so important to the apostles when they were writing the New Testament that they didn't even mention her once after Jesus returned to heaven.
Her job was completed.
Her job was to give birth to and raise Jesus.
She nothing to do with salvation.
Luke 11:27-28 ESV -
27 As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!” 28 But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”

I just love how you, sir, consistently read between the lines and come up with these possibilities. And the way you deliver your personal insights is rooted in the traditions in Jesus' time and not just merely assuming things could happen like that. All of it truly makes sense. I mean I could never think of it this way ever.

I never thought of how the details of the birth of Jesus became known through Mary. Of course that makes sense and I'm thankful you brought it to my attention.
This came up in my recommended videos. I just wanted to thank you for making such a respectful presentation on someone who can be such a divisive figure for a lot of Christians. When you say "some people" think Jesus was an only child, that's quite an understatement, considering about two-thirds of world Christianity (Catholicism and Orthodoxy) believes in Mary's perpetual virginity! There's a theological significance to the doctrine that gets lost in all the mud-flinging, and I have no interest in debating it here.
Regarding Mary as a source of Gospel information, there's an old tradition that says Luke sat down with Mary and interviewed her, making her the source for much of what's written in his Gospel.
From someone who was raised Catholic, and for whom Mary was a very important figure, thanks again. Nicely done.
Amen.
Jewish law would have forbidden Jesus's mother Mary to be given to John as she would have to have been given to a son or daughter of Mary's. That was Jewish law back then
Mary would be the first person to tell you not to worship her or pray to her. Mary never confused herself for deity, rather she was a willing vessel for God. Jesus said no man comes to the Father except through me.
@@donthatethemessenger777 She was a willing vessel, that is why she is the Ark of the New Covenant and carried in her womb the Bread of life (remember the manna?), the Word Made Flesh (remember the tablets?), the True High Priest (remember the Rod of Aaron?). Mary was made pure and Holy as a worthy vessel for the Son of God not just some woman under the dominion of Satan! God is not and shall never be subordinate to Satan!
@@revelation12_1 Jesus said no man comes to the Father except through Me. Mary went on to have other children therefore she was no longer a virgin. Is she in heaven, absolutely! But she is not deity, the disciples followed Jesus, not Mary. Praying to Mary and rubbing rosary beads will not forgive your sins. Matter of fact it is considered idolatry and is a lie from the Devil.
You Hear and see and understand..
Your Wisdom is a beacon of hope..
I have no words that can describe how amazing and wonderful it is
To watch you teach ...
Thank you ..
My heart and soul ...
What makes Mary even more amazing is the common belief she is a teenager during her pregnancy. What a strong woman who endured so much.
Shows God doesn’t pick the most logical or qualified person for His work. He prepares the under qualified for His mission. A theme seen throughout the Bible.
Even Jesus (who was most qualified) was born into and lived in circumstances that were at odds to His holy mission. Isaiah 55:8-9
The whole Christmas story represents the need to be free of judgement. Holy Mother is what we would today call an " unwed mother" yet she birthed the Emmanuel. The Christ child was born in a manger yet today we worship celebrities. There is much honor in simplicity.
Thoughtful and insightful comment.

Hail, Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed aret thou among women 🙏
It is Jesus who is "full of grace and truth" (John 1:14); not Mary who were only "favored" (Luke 1:28). And we should only pray to the Creator God; not creatures (Romans 1:25). Mary is human, a created mortal being, she's still dead like most of the deads (John 3:13; Acts 2:29). Don't create your own doctrine, "the commandments of men" (Matthew 5:9).
@@whosays2153 Another protestant dog is barking? No problem, let me humiliate you and put you in your place.
1. The Blessed Virgin is also full of grace. That is what the Archangel tells Her when he meets Her in the Gospel of Luke.
2. Saint Paul is talking about worship, not prayer. We don't worship Mary when we pray to Her, we only venerate Her because She is worthy of veneration.
3. All those who died and were saved are now in Heaven, alive forever and ever. This idea of some sleep until the resurrection is a heresy which was rejected by Church Fathers.
4. The Church is guided by Christ. It is not a commandment of men, it is the Body of Christ here on earth.
If you bark again, I will humiliate you again and put you back in your post-Reformation pigsty where you belong. So humble yourself and don't act up.
@@whosays2153 Yeah in protestant Bible. Anyone can ask prayer help from anyone else, including (and especially) saints. Read Mathew 27:53 "The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus’ resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people."
Once you've read Mathew, read Revelation 12.
@@whosays2153 Favor and Grace are the same in the original Greek - (Kecharitomene). Grace means unmerited FAVOR given by God and who said that Mary is not a mortal being? The only false doctrine is the sola scriptura heresy from the heresy of protestantism
Mary is not the mother of God. This is impossible! God has no mother. Why? Because God is Spirit. How could a mortal being and sinner, be the mother of a holy God, who created everything, who never had a beginning and has no end? Anybody can give me a biblical answer to this?

Mary's journey was not n easy one - always fearful, always in anticipation of what to expect... but at the end of the day, her faith overcame her fears.... what was important to her was to magnify her son n not herself.... N that changed the course of mankind's outlook... Amen 🙋
Saint Joseph did not doubt the innocence of Mary, but his own unworthiness on God's plan of this sublime mystery! Peace always in Jesus Christ our Great and Kind God and Savior, He whose Flesh is true food and Blood true drink
we can assume he did doubt in the beginning, because an angel of the Lord had to come to him in a vision and tell him that Mary's pregnancy was from God

Brandon I am always amazed when I hear this story of Mary as if she told you the story herself, you tell it like it. I listen your message about Mary now for the third time because I believe it is the message closest to the original story of Mary. Many think of Mary differently but she suffered for the chooses she chose to listen GOD and risk it all. Truly Mary is the closest person here on earth whom HE call her My Lady.
Thank you for recognizing the bravery and faith of both Mary and Joseph. As for Mary’s knowledge that Christ was the Messiah I believe she had grace and faith that allowed her to accept the motherhood of Jesus. She knew exactly what she was doing and the possible consequences. Elizabeth also acknowledged her at her visit with Elizabeth. Elizabeth greeted her as “ the mother of my Lord”. Mary actually told Elizabeth of how God had blessed her. In fact she stated that “all generations shall call me blessed” Luke 1: 46-55. She was told at Jesus”s presentation by. Simeon that several swords would pierce her heart. Mary became pregnant without having had intercourse with a man, she had been dedicated to God as an infant and raised in the temple until she was twelve. There is no way she doubted Christ’s identity. With such a large family there were bound to be members who did not believe that Jesus was the Messiah. Therefore I believe that Jesus’s statement asking Who is my mother, brother,……. Was a statement not of rejection of Mary and His family but a teaching that His followers who accepted His words were His family and possibly a message to those who did not. At the time of Christ’s words the crowds were so great that He could not eat or drink and thee Scribes were telling the people that Christ was possessed by demons. The Scribes were looking for ways to shut Jesus up. The family was concerned for His safety. I am certain that Mary was also quite concerned. In NO way would Mary have thought Jesus was crazy. She knew full well Who He was.
Yes, Mary knew who Jesus was and of the power with God that He had. She told the servants at the wedding in Cana to" do what He tells you to do". His brothers, including James, did not believe in who Jesus was until after the resurrection.
Thanks as always Brandon for the 📸. So much appreciated all the time.🕊️✝️❤️🙏. For the love of Christ 💘✝️🙏❤️✝️.
You are correct about stories being important. If Holocaust survivors would not have shared what they endured and continued to share their traditions for future generations? Even in my family, we re-tell family stories all the time, and laugh as if we have not heard them before. This video is so rich with good insight. Thank you.
Brandon, you are a good witness for our Lord Jesus, and you show discernment in showing how Mary witnessed beautifully for the Lord, her earthly son, in so many lovely ways. We are not all preachers or teachers, but we can witness in simple ways, kind acts of mercy and faithfulness to God/Jesus/The Holy Spirit in ways that Mary did, to the point of standing at the foot of the Cross. She was a special lady, though human and in need of a Savior, as are we, and only Jesus can intercede for our sins, since He was the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. We cannot diminish His sacrifice. Mary would never want that also. I also liked Jody Greiner’s text on the place of Jesus’ birth. Enlightening, thank you, Jodi.
Susan, you’ve explained my thoughts, exactly. Thank you for having the courage and conviction to say what Brandon, for all his beautiful and well researched lessons, has not said. Since most women, especially wealthy women, in El Salvador where I live, seem to have very little interest in Jesus, I understand why a Mexican journalist once said that Mexico is not Christian but Guadalupano. I have always admired Mother Mary and considered her the most noble of women, chosen by God the Father to nurture His only begotten son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. I do not pray to her or ever call her the Virgin. I was attending a Roman Catholic Church in Nashville when I lived there; but the Latin American Roman Catholic Church is not sound doctrine, from everything I have seen of it. I sincerely believe Mother Mary would be offended by the way she is idolized and used as a substitute for her Son.
I am one who believes that Jesus was born at the Migdal Eder tower near Bethlehem, according to Micha 4:8. Not that it matters, but if so, then it’s easy to understand why the shepherds knew exactly where to go when the angel told them they would find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. You see, the tower at Migdal Eder was originally a watch tower for the town of Bethlehem that had been converted into a nursery for new born lambs. The shepherds were Temple shepherds whose job it was to bring flawless lambs to the priests of the Temple for sacrifice. As soon as the lamb/s were born, they were brought to the tower and examined for imperfections. If flawless, they would be wrapped in strips of cloth to prevent injury of any kind and laid in a manger, which was a large stone carved bowl. There were probably several in the tower by the time Jesus was born. I can see how desperate Mary and Joseph would have been to have a place to birth Mary’s baby. Since the shepherds were out in the field, they had no choice but to go in and find a place for Mary to give birth. Then, as was customary, wrap baby Jesus in swaddling clothes, and place Him in one of the mangers. How fitting that the little Lamb of God be born in the tower of Migdal Eder!!
Yes,I heard that also from a Messianic researcher. And it would make sense since the sheep for the sacrifices were raised in Bethlehem. When I tell people this,I say, the spotless lamb of God was placed in the manger,wrapped in swaddling,which was the frayed hems of the priestly robes, worshipped by the shepherds. Whose responsibility it was to find the spotless lamb. It makes so much sense if you know the history of the area. Especially why He was the lamb of God.
I learned that the undergarments of the priests were considered sacred. So they were burnt at the Temple in Jerusalem. As were Jesus's swaddling sacred and burnt at the Temple for all to see His shining light.
NEVER HEARD THIS BEFORE...

When you speak about Mary saying Jesus was "crazy" etc., my first thoughts when I heard it, was that she was protecting Him, in 'fear' for Him, when she arrived. I understood her and more than likely I'd have done the same sort of thing for my child's sake. It just resonates that way every time for me Mary is brought up. Our father cut her off from Him to teach her and us about yet another angle of faith. No fear.
The Bible tells us 400 times not to fear for He is in charge. The most impossible can become possible. If we ever have to die for our beliefs in Him, we are in good company I'd say. It's not about this world and it's limited time, but it is the test for your soul.
Thank you for this show and it's words. May our Lord continue to shine upon you.
Dearest God give me your courage at that critical moment for You
@@arnoldusrichard3888 I truly believe we will know He is with us, a calm, a peace about it because we know where and with whom we are about to enter within. One form or another. I believe Him when He says 'have no fear for I am with you' ; brings me great comfort. I hope you think on it. Blessing~
Mother mary pray for me may all filled with true love of god peace in every catholic home
As a catholic, your commentary was the most wonderful characterization of Mary that I have ever heard and now I know why I love her so much! You are amazing, Brandon! Keep ministering all your life!
God bless you my sister. Just don't slip into idolatry please. Be very cautious with the level of honor you bestow Mary. Some catholics do indeed slip into worship, which is not right. But she is surely blessed
Honoring not worshipping Mary makes sense. The Hail Mary is reciting a few lines of scripture. Then asking for her to pray for us. In the Jewish kingdoms as it says in the Bible the queen was the king’s mother and her role was an intercessor. The king bows when the queen walks in. Even the king follows God’s laws “honor you father and mother”. Jesus lived God’s laws perfectly. He would honor his mother and since he is the King of kings, his mother would be the queen of queens and he would expect us to ask her intercession for us and to guid us to him.
@@btandthebear6021 You're making a huge amount of logical leaps there that aren't biblical but let's leave it at that as a severe disagreement. Focus is all for Christ to receive all glory.
@@Andromedon777 we can both agree the focus is on Christ. Like the gospel of Luke says “whoever is not against you is for you” Catholics ask Mary to help guide us to her son. She did a better job of focusing on Christ than I have so I like the help of an expert on the subject. There’s also a lot of misunderstanding between denominations and what they teach. Unfortunately a lot of Catholics don’t even understand what their own church teaches. It’s definitely not to worship Mary though.
@@btandthebear6021 Right, the official Catholic doctrine does not teach what a lot of Catholics do regarding Mary (which some even extends to worship) so yes, let us focus together on Christ. I just really don't want you guys being guilty of idolatry for praying to saints when the bible says don't. But, I don't think it is something you will lose your salvation over by any means if you have saving faith in the biblical Christ.
Mary knew who her son was. She never doubted him or thought HE was crazy
Then what was that incident when he was 12 all about and what is mathew 3 20 all about
@@peterpeplinski9923 He talked with the Pharasees
@@peterpeplinski9923 I really don't know what you're asking
@@joygarab2723 I'm not asking anything it was rhetorical.
I dont know if you have read any of the new testament but the scribes and parishes who memorized large portions of the old testament including the descriptions and prophecies of the coming messiah didn't recognize who he was the apostles didn't know what was going on they expected him to take the throne of David even after he rose from the dead when he ascended into heaven they were lost and went fishing. John the Baptist his cousin and someone who Jesus said was greater than the prophets had to ask him who he was. All because Satan would not have crucified him if anyone figured out who he really was and that had to happen so he could legally take back possession of this planet that Adam had turned over to Satan. Its not Mary's fault he kept it a secret but she did doubt and question him once when he was 12 and again in Matthew 3 20
This is so eye opening for me. I was raised in the Catholic religion so we were spoon fed what we were to believe. Since becoming an adult I have learned so much more about my direct relationship with God, not through a priest. Brandon Robbins gives me a different perspective on how to look at the human side of Mary and Joseph and the culture they lived in and the religious rules they had to follow. I’m 73 years old and I’m in awe that I am still learning how much God loves me. God bless Brandon Robbins and his family. Diane
Hail Mary,full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your womb,Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.Amen.
We, Catholics just have so many more stories of Mother Mary, with us as we pray the Rosary daily and meditate through it, the conception,birth, life, death and ressurection of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank you Mother Mary for your love for me and my family.
@@jonelagi6994 Any story outside the bible is just that, a story.
Amen
Blasphemy
DIDN'T JESUS SAY WHEN YOU PRAY YOU PRAY OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN HOLLOWED BE THY NAME? MATTHEW 6:9. MARY WAS IN THE UPPER ROOM TO RECEIVE THE HOLY GHOST WITH THE 120. READ ACTS CHAPTER 2 DID YOU OBEY ACTS 2:38? JESUS HEALS THE BROKEN HEARTED.
LOVE YALL AND GOD BLESD
God selected the bravest man and woman for a family: a father to protect him, a mother to nurture him, and a home to become flesh.
Jorge O Moreno, we’re not told God’s reason for choosing Mary.
@@esthermiller2713 No, we do not know His Reasons, but that does not change the fact that she was the vessel for His Divine Presence to become fully human, flesh, bones and blood.
@@esthermiller2713 of course we are! Mary was a Royal princess from the line of Judah the kingly line from David
Reduced to a stump ~ lowly humbled
But full of faith.
@@P.H.888 Mary was from a priestly lineage. It was Joseph that was from the line of Judah.
@@jessejonvillagonzalo1258 textual proof pls
I am DIVINELY connected to Mother Mary since I was a child, the fragrance of Roses is always present when I feel her presence...she is always nurturing, kind, loving and reminds me of the truth of who I am...a DIVINE BEING created in human form to be an expression of God on this beautiful planet 💞✨🙏🌈🦋💫
That's not Mary. That's a demon
Humans are not divine. This is putting yourself on equal level of God. Jesus is divine and we are made in Gods image but humans are not divine beings.
Thank you Brandon for sharing your thoughts and the Holy Spirit who has inspired you to do the videos 🙏
Brian, hello from Illinois!! Thanks for another great video!! Very informative!! Take care and stay safe!! God bless!!😊😊😊😊😊😊
Years ago, I had an atheist mgr. She was very rude and disrespectful to Christians. She was a bully to me, so I tried to stay out of her way. One day, a co-worker came into the break room to ask for prayer. When she left, the mgr mocked her viciously. I did pray for her, but I have NEVER stopped regretting that I didn't stand up for my faith that day. It still makes me feel ashamed. I do my best to be the 1st one to speak up now. Someone else may need the support.
But you did stand up for your faith by praying with her. That was huge and what yr coworker needed. Maybe, just maybe, you were not supposed to stand up against the atheist mgr at that moment like it wldve been casting pearls before swine. I believe from your story God was pleased that you met the need of yr coworker by praying. Just my thoughts on your comment, God bless you always.
The quintessential Mother 🙏💖 And another informative vlog. 💙
God's anointed woman in a complicated time.
I love when you speak about Jesus you have such faith and love for our Lord that is so beautiful. A genuine love which is uplifting and pure and sincere. Thank you Brandon.❤
Thank you very much . I am very happy for this information because it will free so many people . God bless all that work hard for the truth of the gospel.
Thank You, Jesus!!! Maranatha!!
I love you man. You make me WANT to learn about the Bible. I see your videos and I'm actually excited to hear what you have to say. Thank you.
THANK YOU SO MUCH BRANDON. I LIVE ALONE AND EXPERIENCE WHAT LONELINESS IS. I ALWAYS SAY IM ALONE...ONLY RECENTLY IM SOUGHT OF BEGINNING TO THINK THAT JESUS IS ALWAYS WITH ME. I SPEND EVERY HOLIDAY ALONE...AND MOSTLY ITS DIFFICULT TO HAVE THE CONSOLATION OF CHRIST BUT IM BEGINNING TO SEE AND UNDERSTAND.....
Our Mother Mary has great love to all of us AS well AS the Son our Lord Jesus Christ ♥️ who AS the center of our salvation praise the Lord amen
Mary is not our mother! Stop making her more than what she was. She was a woman, born of a woman. You must be catholic and told lies.
@@GGSBTBOFTL you are right that Jesus' own mother had a real mother. And grandparents, too. You also know Mary was at the foot of the cross on which her Son was hung. And that He gave his mother to John the favorite apostle. Those previously pronounced words were too painful from the cross to not have more meaning. She is indeed your mother also. Don't be afraid of her. She only and always will lead you to her Son. You can go to Him directly, for sure. Mary has been sent through the ages and even today to spread grace to help bring many more to her Son.
@@bajone02 you talk about her like she is a deity, she is a mortal woman long gone now in heaven and as a soul in heaven cannot be omnipresent or hear prayers like the LORD.
@@1MicroCPU :
How do you know that she can't hear prayers?
Give us one place in the Gospels where Jesus tells us to pray to His mother. He told us to pray to the Father alone.
I love your ministry, thanks again for taking time to teach us. Amen 🙏
Thank you for providing a very clear explanation of the situations contained in the Bible surrounding the lives of Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the situations they endured. As you speak I can see the Bible “coming to life” in a fascinating way. Thank you for your thorough explanations and teachings of God’s word. God Bless 🙏🏼
I love Mother Mary, she believed and accepted the Word of the Holy Spirit, She is the first Believer in the New Testament, Amen and Hallelujah ❤️ 🕊️🌹💕
....What..???
Ty never considered that. I love our celestial mother as well
Yes it is written she is blessed
When his family heard about The miracles and the teaching Jesus was doing they went to take charge of him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.””
Mark 3:20-21 NIV
“Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.” “Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked. Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.””
Mark 3:31-35 NIV
Mary and her other son’s became believers after Jesus Resurrection.
We should remember that Mary was like the Apostles present in the room when the Holy Spirit descended on them at the birth of the church and like the Apostle received the same Spirit and all the gifts imparted to them was given to her as as well .
So she was able to impart all that she pondered in her heart.
Tradition tell us that Luke stayed with her in John home hence the account of the Annunciation and subsequent events surrounding the Birth of her son.
Tabernacle of the Most High pray for us.
Hail Mary, full of grace
the lord is with thee
Blessed art thou amoungst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb jesus
Holy Mary mother of God pray for us sinners
Now and at the hour of death, Amen.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ORA PRO NOBIS!
Sancte Ioseph, ORA PRO NOBIS!
Matthew 12:
46. While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
47. Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
48. But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
49. And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
50. For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
