WHY isn't THIS STORY told each CHRISTMAS?

8:46 There is a problem here.
In 2017, people were saying that the Apoc. 12 Constellation, searched by the same software, occurred once, 2017, and before that you needed to go back before Creation.
Was that search too specific about the stars, or what happened?
11:04 Solution. The Blessed Virgin Mary is more than just "one woman" ...
The Holy Family is the household of faith, and it's patriarch is called Joseph (for a reason).
Herself, She is called "blessed among women" because like Jael and Judith, She killed an important enemy of Israel. However, in Her case, that's a snake. And Luke 1:28 comes before Luke 1:31, She was already victorious before She was pregnant with God in the flesh.
12:55 You just called the woman "faithful Israel" ... but Romans 3:23 states no Israelite was without sin ... except the exception.
Mary is, personally, "daughter Zion", and as such faithful. Genesis 3:15 makes both Jesus and Mary an exception.
15:21 "of Rome"?
Herod sent his own soldiers, Hebrews. At the time, Judaea was a Protectorate, not a Province.
He was vassal to Rome, sure, but so was Antiochus Epiphanes. Nevertheless, when Antiochus attacked Hebrews faithful to the law, his soldiers spoke Greek, not Latin. Herod's spoke Hebrew, not Latin or Greek.
If you have data refuting this, bring them on.
And no, Luke 2:4 doesn't mean there was a Roman tax collector in Bethlehem. Joseph was a patriot and got enrolled to pay the Temple tax. He avoided Roman tax collectors by quitting Galilee. That's why the first Roman census in Judaea is not relevant to the historicity of the Gospels. The one in Galilee was earlier, under the governors of Syria, one other (Saturninus, I think) assisted by Quirinius. It was forgotten except by Luke, because it sparked no revolt.
18:01 Note, Calvary changes the deal.
From Calvary, Jesus conquered back the authority that had been formerly given to Satan. On Calvary, Satan was bound for a thousand years. Before Calvary He says:
Now is the judgment of the world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
[John 12:31]
32:45 Commandments and Testimony.
What commandments? "I am the Lord thy God" certainly. Not eating pork ... maybe not so relevant any more.
You spoke of a household. It has been a visible community through history. That should be a clue as to its confessional identity. Or some would say "denominational" ... the same city they were first called Christians is where a bishop first called them Catholic (time of Peter, time of his second successor in Antioch, Ignatius).
32:49 Thank you for the final quote.
It's on the frontispiece of St. Nicolas du Chardonnet, where I last worshipped with others for a longer period, except they accept the wrong Pope.
