Mary Tells Us What She Knew

- Yes, Mary pretty much knew all that stuff in "Mary, Did You Know."
But Mary knowing that stuff doesn't make the song bad. But also Mary knowing that stuff not making the song bad doesn't make the song good. Guys, the song is fine. Chill out.
Plot twist: Mary does, in fact, believe in Purgatory, but only for this very specific sin.
What sin?
"Musical taste is subjective." "Your musical taste should be subject to prosecution." Ded.
Ded indeed 😂😂
Ok, that guest appearance by the Anglican guys was just perfect. I literally was unable to can at that point 😂
“You’re like if a cinnamon scented candle was supposed to have a soul but didn’t.”
Beautiful haha
"Mary did you know..?"
Mary: Yes.
Exactly. Why? Because she had a son without physical contact. And an angel from heaven told her so.
Eh... I think even she did not fully understand, certainly her comments to young Jesus in the Temple, as well as the time when she came to take charge of Jesus because she thought he was mad, would seem to indicate that her understanding was, at the very least, clouded.
"On fire with fire" died immediately
Almost as bad as being stoned with stones. But meekly kneeling on your knees is much better.
So glad the vicar and mr thompson got a cameo. Watching their video about terrible christmas hymns is basically a christmas tradition for me.
“Subject to prosecution” best line ever 😂
Yes.
Better than "sentient peppermint mochaccino"?! 😂
Mary, did you know that we would overanalyze everything and act superior to everyone?
"Your musical taste should be subjected to prosecution."
As a metalhead who doesn't exactly like modern country/pop, I have thought this very thing. I'm sure this very thing has been thought about me, as well.
I love the "just kidding Mary doesn't believe in purgatory"
Shots fired! lol
That is funny!
Lol as a Catholic can confirm Mary did not have to go to Purgatory when assumed into heaven
@@arsenicrice9990 indeed my fellow Catholic!
@arsenicrice9990 that's non-Biblical heterodoxy, Patrick! Come on, Patrick, are we also to believe we can perform works or pay money to somehow decrease our own time or someone else's time in such a mythological place as "Purgatory" and call it "indulgences" or what other nonsensense, Paaaatrick?!
The Ten Minute Bible Hour did a line by line analysis of this song awhile back. I personally think it's a beautiful song that emphasizes the awesome blessing and responsibility Mary was given. It even includes some clear affirmations of Jesus' deity, which is important theology that you don't often find in contemporary Christian music. Plus, there are plenty of rhetorical questions in the Bible, so it's probably okay for us to use them.
Merry Christmas to all! ✝️💖🎄
Agreed!
I don't see the emphasis of responsibility, I see the blessing though. The punch line of every question is praising God, which I like very much.
IMO, a lot of CCM is devoid of any deep theology, hence why I dislike most of it. It's basically what some have called "Jesus is my boyfriend" music.
I first heard that song when the Pentatonix version was played immediately after I had been acting in a community outreach Nativity play. It was a moving experience, and I fell in love with it. Come to think of it, that was also when I first heard of Pentatonix.
"Oh, for Pete's sake"- Guess she knew about the apostles as well.
Mary knew the twelve as her Son's disciples. She almost certainly knew Mary Magdalene and others of the women who literally followed Jesus as well. Likely Mary, Martha and Lazarus too.
"She's my mom" LOL perfect.
On a more serious note yeah I agree one hundred percent. While I wouldn't sing it in church (I've never been to a church that did that tbh) I've always had a soft spot for Mary did you know and never got the hate over it. I'm pretty sure Mark Lowry knew that the angel told her. To me it's a great way to imagine how Mary felt at the birth of Jesus.
Followed by, "Oh, for Pete's sake!"
I missed that! Where??? 😂
@@cathhl2440 It's after the credits. You have to watch to the end.
I wish my mom were Christian...
Prayers are offered up!🙏🏼
@@logicaredux5205
Thank you most kindly.
Praying for her!
Have you tried to convince her?
Prayers your way!! My mother died a non-believer & it's aching my heart thinking of her choice to not go to heaven. Pray unceasingly & ask others to pray for her. Have OTHER PEOPLE minister to her. My brother & I couldn't reach or teach her.
Nicholas, as someone whose family/extended family aren't believers, I can definitely relate.
It's hard year round to see them walking in darkness, and especially challenging to be around unbelieving family members around Christmas time, since the differences are really highlighted then, but I'm incredibly grateful that God has used that to draw me closer to Him.
As a Catholic, for what I'm about to do I hope you're wrong about the 50 billion years in purgatory
Yes because I hear 50 million
Rev. Hans probably deserves an order of magnitude or two on top of million.
Well, Purgatory's not in the bible, so🤷♂
(as well as many other Catholic beliefs 😬)
@@DrKeefNeither is sola scriptura. 😬
@@DrKeefnah it’s in there but Mary didn’t know (hehe) what it was like because of her immaculate conception.
I don't know which insult I like more "Sentient Peppermint Mochachinno" or "you're like a cinnamon scented candle was supposed to have a soul, but didn't."
Mary is about to pray for all after this
I love Vicar and Thompson!
We are neither worthy of this Christmas gift, nor do we deserve it. Thanks Fiene Claus!
I love "Mary Did You Know" so much, and as usual I agree with most of what you said, disagree with some of it, and had a hearty laugh at all of it. Love your videos! Merry Christmas!
There is nothing in the Annunciation to indicate that Jesus would do several of the specific things mentioned in the song, like walk on water, calm a storm, or restore sight, mobility, or speech to particular disabled people.
Right! Contrary to popular belief, the actual texts of Holy Scripture are seldom adhered to in their factual integrity, when it comes to the composition of highly commercialized, gratuitously sensationalized, and musically compromised Christmas "classic" songs, especially the ones regarding the birth of Jesus.
See "We Three Kings Of Orient Are," "Do You See What I See?," and "The Little Drummer Boy," for just a few more examples. 😉
She would have known that from the Scriptures and their promises about the Messiah.
@@hansfiene3625 Big fan of your work... I like to think I am pretty familiar with the Messianic prophecies, but I'm not aware of any that talk about walking on water or calming a storm.
@@dw1419 I agree, and nobody ever talks about this
@@hansfiene3625 Can you cite a specific Scripture that prophesies that the Messiah will walk on water or calm a storm?
Can we at least afford the song the title of "best Christmas song penned by a comedian"?
Loved the cameo from the anglican hymn writers at 2:00
Well we had to have a superior Christmas hymn! Mary did you know is missing a verse about farm animals and the cold. It therefore is weak theologically...
Mary did you know, that your baby boy will need a thick blankie? Mary did you know, that a sheep is warm during a snow flurry? Mary did you know, that donkey dung is really smelly? Mary did you know, that your son will really like duckies? Mary did you know?
@@sihollett mary: sirs, my son MADE the duckies... Lol
Pr. Hans should release an entire Christmas album by Mr. Thompson and the Vicar. I’d buy it so fast
@@sihollett just read your comment with a rather thick brogue accent. And found it rather hilarious.
This video is spot on. I'm so sick of everyone giving their opinion on this song. Especially those meme-page admins who crack some weaksauce joke about how "Mary knew" and think they're a world-class comedian despite being the 637th person to make that exact same joke this week 🙄🙄🙄
Could be worse.
They could still all be arguing about "Baby It's Cold Outside."
I had to look up Pentatonix. Good video as usual. As a Catholic I don't see eye to eye on your purgatory joke , however I still laughed. I like that Tammy is a little "extra"
Chapter and verse for ‘purgatory’, please?
@@BrotherTrischapter and verse for sola scriptura please?
Well, being Jewish I'm not sure she would.
@@zappodude7591 I dunno. St. John, Mary's adoptive son (see the Crucifixion, "behold your son") said that there is sin that is deadly and sin that isn't deadly in his First Letter. I think he's also the one who says that "nothing unclean may enter Heaven". Who knows where he learned those ideas from?
Oh, wait, Jesus Christ. Of course.
@@HolyKhaaaaan Bit different from explicitly confirming the existence of a half-way house waiting room for the only semi-saints. Some Jewish texts have ideas that might be considered similar, maybe, but nothing like it is in the Torah.
I about died at that "She's my mom" line because that literally is me and my mom.
Love ‘Mary did you know’ 🎶 such a pretty song 💕
St. Tammy the Extra! The Extra title made me laugh because my daughter calls me that...
I'm with Karl the Grumpy. I accept that other people like the song, and I envy the deaf every time I hear it. Listen to it in Christian freedom, but out of Christian love, please don't subject me to it.
My church did a pretty cover of that song... For a Christmas music thing... I personally enjoy it, and yeah there are other hymns and carols that do a better job but yeah...
Oh, but the deaf will hear. you're not getting off that easy
agreed. Just because a song states some truths doesn't mean it is automatically good.
Hey, at least it's not The Christmas Shoes. That's gotta be one of the worst Christian Christmas songs of all time.
Jesus Christ rhe sovereign God loves you deeply my friends 😊 You matter a lot to Him
I hope you can have a wonderful relationship with the Holy Trinity, talking to God about How you genuinely feel, and that you may be always forgiving genuinely as God calls us to 😊 Give to God your struggles, as the Holy Spirit for strength, and Trust our loving God
That came in timely. I had not known the song (not American) prior to hearing the lyrics in an old Mike Winger video yesterday, and then the first version I heard it sung was by Pentatonix, which I actually greatly enjoyed. I guess I am now thoroughly primed to be a pariah, but I don't count it loss.
Merry Christmas, Pastor Fiene & Family. thanks for the video
Glad you brought back the artistic genius of the Vicar and Mr. Thompson!! Merry Christmas Pastor Hans!
I get it! Because they're living icons. Little images of Christ to the world. Despite their strong opinions and grumpiness.
Excellent take, Mary!
What's funny is that most evangelicals think directly addressing Mary is idolatry, but they still absolutely adore that song 😆
Its a song not a prayer. Big distinction.
The one I've met loves it because he takes it to mean that she did not know. Fits in with their Mary being sinful, naive, etc.
@@thehitomiboy7379 we don't think she was sinful (hated God) during Gabriel's visit, but she was definitely a sinner (needed God's forgiveness) like everyone else. Big difference.
Because it's not directly addressing her. It's rhetorical.
@@bsheets5888 Prayer means to ask, not to workship. ‘Big distinction.’ Also big idiotic heresy from the protestant sect.
It's called the Magnificat, which most TLH Lutherans forgot existed...
Exactly
What does this have to do with the magnificat?
Love the Anglican guys showing up!
Hey it's the internet, everything is either the absolute best or absolute worst!
"Mary doesn't believe in purgatory" is such a true but astoundingly power jab against the RCC 😂
, but it's not a jab it's just true. It's like saying "Jesus Christ is the Messiah," is a jab at Judaism.
Jabs or not, the jabbing is secondary (at best) to the fact of the matter.
Fiene…did you know this was a wonderful gift…Merry Christmas
I think it interesting that among Catholic piety, Mary is into releasing souls from purgatory into heaven. So if souls are experiencing final purgation and purification to spend eternity before an all Holy God, she is a happy face to see. It means you are finally home with the Lord.
How is that interesting? that sounds par for the course when it comes to the cult of Catholicism.
@@arcguardian Yes, it's par for the course. Simeon's prophecy to her was that hearts would be laid bare and Jesus would be a sign of contradiction leading to the rise or fall of many souls. First century Christians prayed for the dead. Mary and Joseph prayed for the dead. Jesus grew up praying for the dead. Jewish piety today still includes prayers for the deceased. Jesus descended to the dead--Sheol-- to release all those souls--those Old Testament saints--who died waiting for their eternal salvation, awaiting resurrection of their bodies. Are we not to imitate our Lord and conform to his mind on this like his mother in her fiat and acceptance of the cross? So Mary is not the only one releasing souls. Prayers are being answered. She is simply the beautiful bearer of good news here, which make the Lutheran Satire even more poignant that it was indulgences involving purgatory that sparked Martin Luther to post his 95 thesis.
I heard a chorus perform the song in person and personally thought it was fantastic. Much better than most versions.
As orthodox I can't ever imagine using these songs for actual worship. I even think some songs are just plane sus to listen to(the love songs that just add jesus).
Makes me think of that song "I Saw Three Ships" that has that stupid line: "The Virgin Mary and Christ were there on Christmas Day in the morning" Really?? Mary and Christ were THERE? On Christmas? What a shock!!! 😲
I guess I will take this as confirmation that I shouldn't play the piano arrangement I have as a prelude tonight 🤔 perhaps "Breath of Heaven" instead 😁
"Jesus is a Friend of Mine" by Sonlight?
This is the best christmas gift I've gotten this year
This was great and all... but bring back Horus or we riot.
Love the video Pastor Fiene! Your videos inspired this Lutheran to actually study the doctrine of his church more. I now have a greater understanding of the sacraments, and am more secure in Lutheran doctrine than I have been in a while. Cheers from an ex Baptist
So you went from one possible cult to another?
@@fastjoecorrigan7426 My dude, whatever your problems with Lutherans, I don't think even St. Ignatius of Loyola would call them a cult.
@@nicholasshaler7442 I'm just curious how those people think they were in the Baptist for 20 years and all of a sudden now they're okay? Or 10 years or one year or whatever the case is...
@@fastjoecorrigan7426
Probably because he was convinced Lutheranism is true. That's why most people change religions.
@@nicholasshaler7442 only JESUS can save!
I have been waiting on the edge of my set for your video!!!!!!!!!
Romanists wanting to burn Hans at the stake for this one!
Well sure, but we'll be laughing at his jokes the whole time.
He didn’t even talk about frozen ducks and geese even a little bit.
The song is literally a modern-day hymn. The meter & pacing combined with the fact that if was originally a poem without music make it by all qualifying definitions, a hymn. I see no reason why it's not appropriate to be sung in corporate worship. The lyrics contain solid theology as well.
Plus, though the angel Gabriel revealed many things to Mary, the noetic effects of the fall were clearly evident as the gospels clearly record how she did not fully understand His mission on earth (ex. her not understanding why a 12 year old Jesus had to stay behind at the temple to be about "His father's business"). Thus, she REALLY didn't know what He set out to accomplish. In many respects, Mary was just as baffled & confused as everyone else was, even though she had special revelation.
"She's my mom" is so true it hurts.
That was phenomenal 😂 Merry Christmas Hans & friends ❤
That second to last joke. Good thing purgatory doesn’t exist. Lol!
@@blindvision4703 that’s what got me 😂
What Mary *didn't* know, was that in her golden years, she'd be stuck living with a "Son of Thunder," who in spite of being years removed from the trade itself, *still* managed to smell like "a boatload of fish."
And then that son who adopted her doesn't even bother to write about her long and arduous journey through the cold while heavily pregnant, only to have to give birth in a barn with the ass and the ox and the ducks and the geese.
Instead he passed off some of her profound poetry as his own.
Wouldn't he smell like a fried fish, be considering he was boiled in oil?
@@HolyKhaaaaan Wow, I forgot about that. Duly noted. 🤣
@@popjaw1andOnly Merry Christmas!
@@HolyKhaaaaan Thanks. Same to you!
Always a treat when you upload, always spot on with the humor and ego knows this might be the next classic Patrick’s bad analogies or Horus ruins Christmas (which I coincidentally opened RUclips to search for when I saw this video)
Holey Eternal Omnipresent Greetingz, Well Dun 🔥☃️☄️😎🧙♂️👍Like #153
Reporter: Mary, did you know that 2000 years later, people would sing a song, and feel smug thinking they really had an intimate understanding of what you went through?
Mary: 😲
Lolwut? The songs just contemplating the incarnation through Mary's POV, nothing smug about that haha
Smug how? We worship Jesus with barely having a clue of what He went through on an intimate level, all while not being smug. What makes u think ppl turn on the smug for one song?
U let Mary go to ur head. Christ is the head, not Mary.
Pardon me, folks, I was talking for myself and others who can relate, not for all people. When I listened to the lyrics very closely and put myself in Mary's shoes as best as I could, I felt I understood the anxiety and tempest of emotions, against the colorful backdrop of gratitude and hope, going through her mind... And I sensed a fair dose of pride in being able to do that and I know some of you can relate. Now you might ask... why should anyone be proud, of mere understanding? Well, it is beyond the scope of a RUclips comment to expound that... But rest assured that slightly deeper understanding and knowledge puffeth one's ego.
@@RationalJJ Oh, okay then. No problem.
Best version of that song is the one from Babylon Bee. Change my mind.
The song is still 1000% better than "I can only imagine."
To be fair, that bar is so low you can't trip over it
People dislike that song?
Ecumenism at its finest 👍
What? I love that song. Not for a worship song but maybe when you are just on your own
That song slaps. Go away.
RUclips hasn't recommended me your new vids, but since it's Christmas I knew to come check haha. Merry Christmas! 🙏🏿🐑
St Karl is my man...
Acutally the best version is done by Mark Lowry who has ADHD and the questions he comes up with are really interesting, and watch him not only sing the sing but give it life and the questions really hit you.
Didn't he actually write it?
@@PaperBanjo64 yes he did, but when he tells the background and sings it, it just adds so much more to the song and Scripture
"A cinnamon scented candle was supposed to have a soul, but didn't."
Best Christmas present ever! Another LS video!
Merry Christmas! I enjoy your content so much. I do love this song personally and see it as a modern hymn. I also understand why some may not see it as one for corporate worship.
Worship makes the worshipers present, so having lyrics addressing Mary in worship is not a wise move. Excellent song, but not a song for worship. u can definitely worship during the song but not with the song, if that makes any sense. Like worshiping God WHILE painting a picture of urself vs worshiping God BY painting a picture of urself.
Very poor comments on one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard for Christmas
The ending joke is always the best.
I feel like if I were to listen to the Pentatonix version it should count as mortification and so decrease my time in purgatory.
Just wondering when the blessed Theotokos informed Pr. Fiene that she does not believe in Purgatory. Asking for a friend...
‘’Musical hot something alright’’ got me.
I didn't understand. explain to me, please
Merry Christmas from Eastern Orthodoxy ☦️
I love how Prots and Caths have all these crazy debates and you Orthos are just chilling there like, "whatevs"
Fair point it isn't a good song as it doesn't talk about silent frozen ducks even a little bit!
It's true that's why I have made it my mission to add frozen pigeons to every great hymn
A mighty fortress is our God,
Creator of the pi-i-i-geon....
Mary seems nice. Now what about the spiritual insights of “Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time”?
But muh divine comedy says Mary does believe in Purgatory
FWIW, God literally says He's calmed storms and walked on water in the book of Job, so I bet she'd know that, assuming that part of Job was available to her.
I always enjoy having my theological eyebrows slightly singed with satire. Or completely burned off. Excellent! No really. And I'm glad those Anglican guys weren't in the video.
We actually sang it tonight at Christmas Eve Service. I adore this song, the way it humanizes Mary in a way that doesn't happen in a lot of denominations. She's either "just a Virgin" or exceedingly holy beyond even the levels of Jesus himself. Personally, no, I don't think she knew. She might have known, as the Son Of God, that her baby could potentially do those things, as he would have the power to do so...but that he actually would go on to do those things, how could she know? Why would Mary have special foreknowledge of Christ's miracles? And if you think she did, did she just forget about it over the years? For all we know, Mary might have taken the message from the Angel as "Oh! This must have been the same announcement that the mother of King David had!"...Mary treasured a lot in her heart, but to assume that she knew about everything questioned in the song seems like bad theology.
5/12 of the questions in the song are answered by Gabriel’s announcement in Luke 1:31-35. Mary’s song in Luke 1:46-55 shows that she knew the answer to 3 more (because Mary knew scripture). After that, it’s easy to say she wouldn’t be surprised to find out Jesus would walk on water.
@@chaselefort124 wouldn’t be surprised, sure, but that’s different than knowing.
As a contemplation of the Life of Christ, I have to agree with Pastor Fienes that it could be useful for that point. It's complete rubbish as any statement of Mariology however.
By the way, any doctrines about Mary first and foremost have to do with the Son she gave birth to. We're not scandalized if she's honored, so long as her honor exalts the Son, Jesus, above all mankind. That's what she would have wanted.
It's why us Catholics take Mary seriously, and Confessional Lutherans generally understand this, even if they express it differently.
@@HolyKhaaaaan Be honest now, you people worship Mary on par with the LORD Jesus! RCC scripture " i am the Way, the Truth, and the Life and no one comes unto me unless they come unto my Mom first" LOL you catholics will twist yourself into a pretzel to avoid admitting you worship Semiramis, but call her Mary.
Merry Christmas to the Lutheran Satire Crew.
“Like if Andy Williams took estrogen” 😂😂😂😂
“She’s my mum”. Lost it. 😅
I had a feeling that this video would have reference to the song
Mary, did you know that you Don't believe in Purgatory? Absolutely hilarious!
Agree with everything except the last bit about Mary believing in purgatory :).
Well done Pastor Hans
The ending made me laugh out loud.
Saint Peter just standing back there, shaking his head - “I was told I would be the rock on which His church would be built, is this the schismatic chicanery our flocks fight over in the future?”
He wasn't told that. Jesus was referring to Himself as the rock.
@@arcguardian the origin of the name Peter is Greek, Petros, meaning "stone," Christ literally was referring to a man He called a stone as the stone on which His church would be built. Literally reread Matthew 16:18
@@robertsirico3670 wish I could share a screenshot but here’s this:
Both Latin and Greek writers in the early church referred to "rock" as applying to both Peter personally and his faith symbolically, as well as seeing Christ's promise to apply more generally to his twelve apostles and the Catholic Church at large.

Its a nice song that kind of shows ppl what it may have been like in mary's shoes. The honor and responsibility of raising God incarnate, wow... But yeah she knew everything the angel told her. And yes overplayed.
Yes, what an amazing press conference
Job well done 👍
I wonder if we can get a similar video for Joseph regarding his lullaby.
She didn't know. She didn't realize Jesus was God until His resurrection.
That was great! Love the whole idea of balance.
Next year, I hope you eviscerate Christmas Shoes!
This was long overdue!
As a Catholic, I love this. Holy Mother of God, save us!
You might wanna crack your bible sometime. Mary doesn't save anyone, Jesus does. Even Mary knew that...
Catholics don't believe that Mary saves
See! It does snow in Bethlehem
Another great video Lutheran Satire. Baptist/Evangelicals. Did you know … The blessed virgin St. Mary, is the Mother of GOD, the Ark of the live GOD … the Theotokos.
The insults. Wow.
Not so fast preacher man...
Mark Lowry apparently never heard of the Annunciation.
Hahahaha! I love that song!
My take on this song is that the author is implying Mary actually DIDN'T know.
Evangelicals have become increasingly slighting of Mary & her role in salvation history.
Frankly, modern Evangelical piety tends to treat the Blessed Virgin as a clueless sap who was haplessly used by the Father to bring His Son into the world & was otherwise largely irrelevant to the work of Salvation History.
An otherwise irrelevant vessel (one amongst many who COULD have been used by God) who was simply used instrumentally as an object for bringing about the incarnation.
