Summary

Was Nazareth fake? Was Mary a perpetual virgin? And what can we learn from Jesus being rejected in His hometown of Nazareth? I admit that today's study may seem a bit random but I think you will find it interesting and have some insights that will bless you. Rene Salm wrote a book suggesting that Nazareth was a myth and even though it has been debunked it still shows up on popular atheist web sties today. We'll also deal with the Roman Catholic claim that Mary remained a virgin her whole life and never had children after Jesus. This claim is made even stronger when we realize that the Roman Catholic Church says anyone who says Mary did have other children has committed a mortal sin and will be condemned. Scripture, on the other hand, says that Jesus had brothers and sisters. All of this is in context of our continued series through the gospel of Mark. We will continue this study weekly until I've taught through the whole book verse by verse, tackling issues of theology and apologetics. Here's the whole Mark series playlist. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHuGenHwUdeiQ5M-uj5XW4sF If you want to support this ministry you can click here. https://biblethinker.org/index.php/donate

0:00.0	I'm Pastor Mike Winger and this is Bible Thinker the program dedicated to thinking
0:05.8	biblically about everything.
0:08.8	Okay so we're going to be in Mark chapter 6 that's where we're going to start
0:12.3	Mark chapter 6 verse that's where we're going to start.
0:12.7	Mark chapter 6, verse 1. This is the Mark series, part 18.
0:17.2	Jesus is rejected in his hometown of Nazareth. That's like the scene, the whole scene
0:22.2	that we're in here in
0:22.9	verses one through six, rejected by his family and rejected by those who know him
0:27.0	well. This is kind of the condition and we're gonna learn some strategies for
0:30.8	outreach actually from what we learn in this passage. I think a problem with American
0:36.1	Christianity that was a problem with their religious views in Nazareth. Also some internet level misinformation about Nazareth not existing. We'll
0:46.4	talk about that as well. Some apologetic stuff. We're going to get into the concept of the
0:51.0	perpetual virginity of Mary and how scripture weighs in on that because I do think this passage weighs in on that and at some point in Mark I wanted to unpack that a bit.
0:59.0	And so it's going to be kind of a variety of things today. I wouldn't know how, I don't even know how I'm going to title this study,
1:04.0	what I can put on a thumbnail that gives people an idea what this is about, because there's quite a wide variety.
1:09.4	So that's just how it's going to be, a bit eclectic, but we're going to get it all from the
1:13.0	scripture from the passage and try to think publicly about this stuff so Mark
1:16.5	chapter 6 verse 1 let's read these first six verses and gather the info it
1:21.6	says Jesus went out from there and came into his home the and the many listeners were astonished saying where did this man get these things and
1:36.1	what is this wisdom given to him and such miracles as these performed by his
1:42.0	hands is this not the carpenter? The son of Mary and the
1:46.5	brother of James and Joseph and Judas and Simon are not his sisters here with us and
