INDIVIDUALS VS THE MAJORITY

[JLG]

My answer:

- The Third part is about a Catholic Bishop!

- So if I am not wrong, it can’t be anti-Catholic!

- As in Jesus' time, religious leaders have always

been the responsible!

- They make arrangements with political leaders!

- Now it's up to people to follow them or not!

- By reading the Bible it is possible to understand

when something is right or wrong!

- As in Jesus' time, religious leaders opposed Jesus

and Jerusalem was destroyed and many Jews died

because they listened to religious leaders and not

Jesus! 

- They ended eating their own children because of

famine during the siege of the Romans!

- I don't believe in religious leaders, I believe in

Jesus!

- I just explained why it is easier to speak about the

Bible with a Protestant and more difficult to speak

with a Catholic!

- You need a minimum knowledge of the Bible!

- History is there to testify that both Catholics

and Protestants killed each other in the name of

God and it didn’t matter if there were men, women

or children!

- Animals wouldn’t do that!

- They only kill to feed themselves!

- Religion will always be religion!

- When the Hebrews entered into the promised

land, they were supposed to kill the inhabitants

because they were bad people who could offer

their children to their gods!

- They didn’t get rid of all the inhabitants and

they ended doing the same!

- And they payed for that and it was a high price!

- They can pray for peace but we only see wars

again and again!

- I am not saying it is better, it is different !

- Simply reading the Bible makes a great

difference !

- Now people may believe what they want!

- I want to learn about the Bible and tell about

the Bible!

- Religion is not my problem!

- My concern are the faithful servants of God

the Bible speaks about!

- It is the same with translations of the Bible !

- There are so many mistakes and usually people

believe some are good ones !

- But it is usually a shame because they take away

essential elements !

- When Jesus comes back, will it matter if you belong

to such or such religion or if do your best to know

him and God and tell about God’s word!

- What does it mean when he says I know you or I

don’t know you!

I have seen the counts of Catholics today as over

a billion. So with billions of Catholics over a two

thousand year period not every Catholic gets every

part of history correct. Far from it. You have a lot

of writings by Catholics to pick and choose from.

But I'll address the article by this monsignor. A

monsignor is not the same as a bishop, since the

title is used I presume he is NOT a Catholic bishop.

He states: "Once the printing press was invented,

the most commonly printed book was the Bible, but

this still did not make Bible-reading a Catholic’s

common practice." A Catholic named Gutenberg

printed the Bible in the 1400s, by 1500 roughly

10% of the population was literate. So roughly

90% of Catholics could not read the Bible at that

time even if they wished to do so. We know from

history that the price of some of the Gutenberg

Bibles was around 30 florins. 30 florins was about

three years' wages for a clerk. Now people back

then did not have so much discretionary money as

we do today, how long would it take them to save

up 30 florins? Given these two factors, it would not

surprise me if only one or two percent of Catholics

read the Bible back then, so the monsignor was right

that it was not a "common practice." have no doubt

that individual priests at different times discouraged

reading of the Bible, even though the popes and

higher-ups endorsed it. They knew that Catholics

hear a lot of the Bible at mass and I am sure almost

all were well-intentioned thinking that it was better

to learn from the homilies. I understand, some

background on history and language is a good thing

before starting reading the Bible to prevent at least

some of the more amateurish false interpretations

--that the Bible shows Mary had other children, etc

.
I assure you Catholics read the Bible in the 1800s. I

don't think my ancestors would have purchased the

Bible if reading it was discouraged by the Catholic

Church. Let me name some of the endorsers of the

Catholic Haydock Bible from the 1800s was endorsed

by: Cardinal McCloskey, Archbishop of New York,

Archbishop Spalding, of Baltimore, Bishop Fitzpatrick,

of Boston, Bishop O’Reilly of Hartford, Bishop Rappe,

of Cleveland, Bishop O’Regan, of Chicago, Bishop Miles,

of Nashville, Bishop Chanche, of Natchez, Bishop

Shanahan, of Harrisburg, Bishop Loughlin, of Brooklyn,

Bishop Wigger, of Newark, N.J., and Bishop O’Farrell,

- My answer:

 

- History gives a testimony of what religions have

done through centuries !

 

- Religious leaders and politicians and commercial

leaders have organized to control people !

 

- They have worked for their own interests rather

than people interests !

 

- They are like wolves Jesus tells us to be careful !

 

- People can stay blind and deaf !

 

- That’s free will !

- But when you read carefully and regularly the

Bible by yourself it is not possible !

 

- The Hebrews threw away God’s word and they

paid a high price !

 

- Through history religious people have organized

against their religious leaders because as Jesus says

you must do what they say but not what they do !

 

- The problem is that you mustn’t do neither what

they say nor what they do !

 

- I remember once when I was in Germany, I had a

short discussion with two French teenagers !

 

- One said she believed in God and the other one

didn’t !

 

- Why ? Just because of their familes !

 

- The first one had a family who believed in

God, the other one her family didn’t believe !

 

- But in fact, there was no difference !

 

- The one who believed couldn’t defend his

faith !

 

- I can take the example of a young Muslim !

 

- He makes his five prayers a day !

 

- He makes Ramadan !

 

- But he doesn’t know anything about the

Coran !

 

- If you look at humanism, you will see they

promoted the study of original books and the

Bible through the original texts because it was

very different from reading translations with

many mistakes !

 

- JESUS TELLS US WE MUST READ THE BIBLE

REGULARLY !

 

- THAT’S THE ONLY WAT TO GET CLOSE TO

HIM AND GOD !

 

- If the Jews accuse Jesus of blasphemy because

they say he calls himself a god whereas jesus says

they accuse him of blasphemy because he calls

himself God’s son, whom am I going to believe ?

(John 10:33- 36)

 

- Not the Jews ! Never ! Or it would mean I believe

Jesus is a liar ! Never !

- You say amateurish when the Jews speak about

Jesus family saying the carpenter’s son, his mother

Mary, his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, Judas and

his sisters (Matthew 13:55,56 / Mark 6:3 / Matthew

12:48-50) !

 

- Have you read the Bible !

 

- You will see it is a tradition among them to have

many children !

 

- You think Joseph would stay with his wife !

 

- Remember when he realized she was pregnant he

wanted to leave her all at once !

 

- We have the original text in Greek!

 

- Good luck to understand the Bible !

Oh boy. Lot is referred to as Abrams "brother"

yet they have completely different parents.

That's just one example, obviously "brother"

does not mean the individuals have the same

mother or the same father. Many non-Catholics

who read the Bible don't understand that

languages, and thus words, change meaning

and that translations are by no means perfect.

A bible translator may translate the same word

into different English words based on his bias.

And also there is often is no understanding of

Jewish idioms. Those who start with an

anti-Catholic bias and look for things to show

those Catholics are wrong found all kinds of

things. But to me it is remarkable that so many

easily dis-proven stories last for decades if not

centuries.

https://goodquestionblog.com/2020/07/13/how-old-was-joseph-when-he-married-and-when-he-died/

 

How old was Joseph when he married and when he died?

Q. We don’t hear much about Joseph in the Bible. Do we know how old he was when Mary and he married? How old was he when he died, how did he die, and how old was Jesus when he died?

We don’t have exact answers to any of these questions because, as you say, we don’t hear much about Joseph in the Bible.

We do know that in New Testament times, Jewish women often married in their mid-teens, while Jewish men married when they were a bit older, perhaps around twenty, once they had become somewhat established and could support a wife. So if Joseph and Mary’s experience was typical for the period, he might have been just out of his teens when he married her, and she was likely still a teenager.

We know from the gospels that Joseph was at least still alive when Jesus was twelve years old. Luke tells us how Joseph and Mary brought Jesus to Jerusalem at that age, where he spoke with the teachers of the law in the temple. But Joseph seems to have died by the time Jesus was 30 and began his ministry. The gospels portray Jesus interacting with his mother and brothers at several points during his ministry, but never with Joseph.

We know nothing about how Joseph died, or how old he was when he died, except that if he married at around age 20, and had died by the time Jesus was 30, then he would like have died before age 50. So he would have lived a little shorter time than the average for a man in the Roman Empire, which was the mid-50s. But whether he died of illness or an accident or some other cause, we just don’t know.

So the primary picture we have of Joseph comes from the time around the birth of Jesus. What stays in our minds is that he was a righteous man, unwilling for Mary to experience public disgrace, and that he accepted the challenging role of being the adoptive earthly father of the Son of God. Perhaps it’s best that we think of him mostly in that light.

https://www.douglasjacoby.com/linguistic-insight-adelphos/

 

This linguistic study centers around the word adelphos, which is Greek for brother. The following memo was emailed to me. Please read it; my response follows.

I wanted to ask you about Jesus' brothers. I was recently challenged by a Catholic that the Bible never specifically says (there is no proof) Mary had other children than Jesus. When I asked him about the numerous passages that refer to his brothers, he told me to look to the Greek. Apparently (according to http://www.blueletterbible.com) the same word for brother, adelphos {a-del-fos'}, could mean a brother, or a close relative. Here are all the definitions I got:

(1) a brother, whether born of the same two parents or only of the same father or mother;
(2) having the same national ancestor, belonging to the same people, or countryman;
(3) any fellow or man;
(4) a fellow believer, united to another by the bond of affection;
(5) an associate in employment or office;
(6) brethren in Christ

(1) and (2) are the ones that need to be dealt with. Personally, I see these definitions as supporting his view.—Robert Borgersen (Winnipeg)

I would say that these possible meanings of adelphos are all correct. Of course, a word cannot have all possible meanings simultaneously; each word as a semantic range.

Context determines the meaning, much more one's preference of dictionary definition. In the case of Jesus' family, the logical inference from Matthew 1:25 is that Joseph and Mary had normal sexual relations after Jesus was born. The seven or more siblings indicated in Matthew 12 and 23 vindicate this view. We ought to embrace the simplest view, provided there is no biblical reason to reject it.

In the case of the Catholic position that Mary remained a virgin in perpetuity, the meanings of adelphos actually support that position no more than they do the view that his "brothers" were his fellow craftsmen in the family business, as in definition (5). The semantic range in this case will need to be restricted, by context, logic, and cross-checking with other scriptures which delimit the possibilities. Once that is done, frankly speaking, the Roman position is untenable.

Let me illustrate the point before I let you go. Someone says, "She's blue." What does this mean?

(1) Reflecting light at a certain wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum (such as the villain in the film "Big Fat Liar," whose skin had been dyed).
(2) Oxygen deprived (and therefore the blood being a different color).
(3) Sad, depressed.
(4) Noble (as in "blue blood").
(5) Barely cooked; rarer than rare (as in a blue steak).

Even though (1) is the most common sense of the word in the English language, when said of a person the word "blue" could mean (1), (2), (3) or (4). Sense (5) would be unintelligible, apart from a macabre context of cannibalism, so we will let this one go. In all likelihood, (3) is what "blue" means, although in special circumstances (1), (2) and (4) might also make sense. Once again, to insist that (1) is the true meaning of "blue" in the sentence "She's blue" may be reasonable, but in the absence of certain evidence it is almost certainly unreasonable.

So it is with the Greek word for brother. While adelphos might mean a number of things, it cannot mean all of them at once; context and careful study determine the precise meaning. (Unless, of course, Matthew was trying to be vague or ambivalent, which no one I have read holds to be the case.) The burden of proof is on the one pleading the exception.

Adelphos, the normal Greek word for one's physical brother, is the strongest contender, despite theologies which beg to differ. Were it not for the view of sexuality that was emerging in the second century AD, it is doubtful anyone would have come up with the Catholic or Orthodox interpretation of adelphos as cousin, or stepbrother. (Besides, there is a perfectly good Greek word for cousin; it is anepsios, as in Colossians 4:10.)

Further, these brothers are often found in Mary. Why would Jesus's cousins accompany her? One more fact tells against the traditional Catholic interpretation. Psalm 69, a Messianic psalm, speaks of the rejection by Christ of his brothers (v.8)—not cousins.

[JLG]

The Bible doesn't say Joseph was a monk so

therefore Catholics must be wrong. That is what

you included in the arguments you present. And

the obvious bias, claiming the "Roman" position

is untenable, same words left over from the hateful

times of the reformation. The Bible says all kinds of

things that would lead one to believe Mary remained

a virgin, which the anti-Catholic arguments so

conveniently don't mention, so many have been

posted before, but the bottom line is the Bible itself

does not specifically state one way or another some definitive statement, as is so often the case. Yet

people go to such trouble to try and find something

wrong with Catholic teaching, and in this case and

so many others it really has little or nothing to do

with their idea of salvation. What Satan does not

want us to do is focus on own personal relationship

with Jesus and emphase what our brothers and

sisters in Christ have in common.

 

- My answer:

 

- In fact, I should have said even the monks

would understand because through history

many had and keep having sex with…!

 

- But it doesn’t matter!

 

- And it is not a criticism because everywhere

men have sex with… even when they are married!

 

- And even when they are religious leaders!

 

- You don’t need to belong to a special religion!

 

- I am just saying that Joseph controlled himself

not to have sex with his wife because she was

pregnant!

 

- But there are limits!

 

- Today people have videos, video games, TV

and so on!

 

- In Africa , and it is not a criticism, they don’t

have so many options so they have more children!

 

- Just to remind you that I said both Catholics

and Protestants used to kill themselves including

women and old men and children!

 

- Men will always be animals!

 

- And men keep doing it for any reason, religion,

politics, whatever!

 

- Now you raised the issue!

 

- And whenever possible I try to look for

information!

 

- And I try to analyze the issue!

 

- Think about what happened with circumcision

with some pharisees who became Christians!

 

- The issue was discussed in Jerusalem!

 

- I always discuss whenever possible even

when it is not particularly interesting for me!

 

- I am interested in the faithful servants of

God the Bible tells us about!

 

- Thus we can learn to know how to get a good

relationship with God!

 

- It doesn’t matter if people belong to such or

such religion!

 

- A discussion is a discussion and I will look for

information in the Bible or whatever possible!

 

- And we learn a lot from history to compare

with what the Bible says!

Yes, the first pope decided that Baptism would replace circumcision. As the Bible says, we are saved through Baptism, and we continue to be saved. Every Christian is born again through the Sacrament of Baptism.
