It means cover the mouth not the nostrils. It is not about legalisms it was to demonstrate that not even the want-a-be Jesus was tempting to Christ. BUT, just how tempting will this play actor be to us when he gets dumped out of heaven to this earth. (That is to those still alive in the flesh and inhaling air.) Revelation 12.
That may well be the hardest one to keep. Though He is always with us, we forget about His presence in our lives.
Luke was not writing any body's tradition. He was a medical doctor and scribe for Paul. Course God sure knew what traditions of men would creep in unawares regarding the traditions of Mary. She was a wife and mother to more than just the Only Begotten Son. Mary and Joseph had children!!!!!!
Aaaaaaaand just in time for Easter - a little media tradition we’ve all come to know and love - it’s time for the annual “The Gospels Were Wrong About Jesus” story! Gotta hand it to them, they’re consistent.
Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part of the same: that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
It is a devil teaching that promotes this notion that Christ would have been tempted by women, either in marriage to one or a sexual tryst in some oak or fig grove.
Rather than go with your warm, fuzzy feelings about it, I'll stick to what Jesus had his apostles tell us...
Heb 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
Heb_4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
And that's why we can go directly to God with any and every temptation we may encounter...He has experienced it all...
Again, Christ was God with us. He was in a flesh body filled with the Holy Spirit. Now where can you quote anything that suggest that God would be 'sexually' attracted to one of His children? That is not a temptation that should be 'common' to any man.
No it can't...A natural brother or a spiritual brother, ok...An extended relative, Nope, in the New Testament...
NO!!!!!!!!
You are just making that up.
Show me in Scripture where anyone other than Jesus is referred to as the Child of Mary.
WRONG!
How did Jesus have 500 'Brothers'??
After that, [Jesus] appeared to more than five hundred brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep." 1 Cor. 15:6
No it is not. Jesus was not saying some men castrate themselves for God’s kingdom, which is what your interpretation implies. He was saying that some men voluntarily choose celibacy for God’s kingdom while, for others, it is NOT a choice.
Paul clearly said he had the power to have a wife. This means he was not a eunuch due to a birth defect or something that happened to him. Yet he advocated celibacy for those who could do so without falling into sexual temptation.
Peter commented on Christ’s teachings on marriage and divorce that there was a benefit to never being married. Christ responded that “not all men can receive this saying, but whoever is able to receive it, let him receive it.”
Feel free to share your own beliefs, but stop trying to be an instructor on Christian doctrine when you reject Christian doctrine.
IF the mouth is covered no water is going to pass through the lips.
Why are you posting a definition for a Hebrew word when the passage comes from the New Testament with of course, Greek words??? Shirley you can do better than that...
Matt. 16:18 doesn't say that...Doesn't say that at all...
Constantine was in charge of the Roman army...That's how he did this...And yes, many Christians survived but many more died from the persecution...

Humor loses something when explained... but sometimes you have to explain. This is why I said I hope He doesn't get any sinus congestion... because His Mouth is covered and He only has His Nose to use for breathing... Get it?
It is not about legalisms it was to demonstrate that not even the want-a-be Jesus was tempting to Christ. BUT, just how tempting will this play actor be to us when he gets dumped out of heaven to this earth. (That is to those still alive in the flesh and inhaling air.) Revelation 12.
Please elaborate.
FINALLY!!! After millennia of unsuccessful challenges to the doctrine of perpetual virginity, we have a final word on the subject! Pope Just mythoughts has spoken... and it must be so!
Heb 4:15 was enough to win the argument. Let it go. You lost.
I am not making anything up. Honestly it makes NO Godly sense for a denomination so obsessed with contraception, they could with a straight face require Mary to use contraception.
Mary was not is not a deity, no matter what the traditions of men claim to the contrary.
Matt. 12:46; 13:55; Mark 6:3; John 2:12; 7:3, 5, 10; Acts 1:14; 1 Cor. 9:5; Gal. 1:19).
Common sense tells one that IF they seek the meaning of words used to go to the origination of that word. Where did 'fasting' have its origination? IN the Hebrew language.
This is why Christians know that the busy fingers of some scribes played word games when they stuck 'easter' in place of Passover.
You are either ignorant of the meaning of First-born, or you are being dishonest. Luke knew what 'First-born' meant. The word First-born does not refer to the first child out of the womb. It refers to to the first male born.
Do you understand that?
