Mary, the Ark of the New Covenant

- Have you ever wondered why Catholics revere Mary and even call her "holy"? Why is she "set apart" (i.e., holy)? What does the Bible say about Mary and how does the New Testament depict her? How are Mary and the Old Ark of the Covenant from the Exodus connected? And, what relevance does that have?
In this video, taken from Dr. Pitre's 1hr+ presentation, Jesus and the Jewish Roots of Mary (see link below), Dr. Pitre explores what the Bible teaches about Mary and what the Gospel of Luke and St. John in the Book of Revelation, in particular reveal to us about Mary.
It is certainly understandable that without looking at the New Testament in light of the Old, one could easily overlook the importance the authors of the New Testament place on Mary.
However, after seeing the connections that the Holy Spirit gives us through the authors like St. Luke and St. John, hopefully you will never be able to miss what God, through the inspired word, is telling us about the Blessed Virgin Mary and the difference it should make in your spiritual life and the way you read the Bible.

Hey Gang -- had to re-upload a new version. Thanks!
I am the reincarnated Mary! Mother of Jesus! I suppose that you don't believe me? That's just your problem then. Have a nice day
And a cellphone 😂😂😂😂
😱🤯💥... my brain just exploded! This is amazing! More seeds in my bag for me to plant to those who reject this dogma!
kim burley I think you’ve been lied to by all of your Protestant preachers, along with your own interpretation of the Bible.
kim burley I guess God broke his own Commandment when He commanded Moses in ( Numbers 21:8), “Carve an image upon your staff and whoever gazes upon it shall be healed.” Kim, the Bible teaches that God approves the use and veneration of sacred pictures and images to stimulate religious fervor. ( Exodus 25:18), “ And you shalt make two cherubim’s of gold, of beaten work shalt you make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.” ( 1 Kings 6:29), “ And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.” So Kim, we are not forbidden “ to make thyself a graven image,” except when this is to be set up and adored as a god. As Catholics, we do not do this, that’s stupid! Down the street from where I live, there is a protestant cemetery. I go for walks there for exercise, and very often I will see a protestant kneeling or bowing down before the headstone with a photograph of their love one, within the headstone. I hear them crying, and talking to their love one that’s buried there. Have I ever thought that they are worshiping and breaking God’s commandment about graven images while kneeling down to the headstone talking to their deceased loved one? Not for an instant! Their mind and they’re broken hearts are uplifted to the one that is buried there, there’s no worshiping a headstone nor a corpse that’s buried 6 feet under. Ridiculous!
kim burley By the way, Catholics do have images of ox’s and Cherubim angels at Mass. Do we worship them? Of course not.
kim burley Kim, go to Kentucky at the Noah’s Ark Museum where all the Protestants go to see lots of graven images, and get their photo taken with the graven images with smiles on their faces. Yep, go there Kim, pick on your own kind, convert the Protestants from their Idolatrous behavior. As Jesus said; “ before you try to remove the splinter from someone else’s eye, first remove the log from your own.”
kim burley We do not bow down to the image. We bow at who the image represents, out of respect, not worship. Much like when you salute the flag of the United States of America, are you saluting a piece of cloth with stars and stripes on it, or are you saluting what that flag with stars and stripes on it represents? There’s many ways that we can bow down and worship an image. If we have too much pride in our lives, every time we look into a mirror we bow down to our own image.
Reading through the comments and so many naysayers provide no counter-evidence. They simply say "he's wrong" or "he's a liar" or "he's twisting scripture", but have nothing to back up their claims.
They don't even listen or they wouldn't be denying the truth smh
Unfortunately he got one thing wrong here. Mary did not stay a virgin. I'll prove it. In Matthew 1:24-25 it reads 24 then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the lord bidden him, and took unto him his wife, 25 and knew her not till she brought forth her first born son and he called his name Jesus. " the word knew or to know here is ginóskó which also means sexual intimacy. This makes sense because Joseph already knew her, but the know this passage talks about is sexual intimacy. God bless you saints
@@felixayala2465
The verses you cited don't actually prove what you think they do.
The word "till" or "until" denotes a specific point in time. That point in time in this case, being the birth of Jesus. So from the text, we know that Joseph did not have sexual relations with Mary prior to the birth of Jesus.
Now, does that prove anything after that point in time? No, only up to that specific event. Afterwards both options, him having relations with her and him not having relations with her, are still viable. Let me explain with an example. If I were to write, "She loved her husband until the day he died." Did she stop loving him the moment he died? Or did she still love him after he had passed? You see, "until" does not prove anything after the stated point in time, just what is prior. To say that it proves one way or the other is to add your own personal interpretation to the text.
There are also other examples of this in Scripture, where "until" does not prove the negative. 1 Corinthians 15:25 states, "For he [Christ] must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet." Does this mean Christ's reign ends once His enemies are defeated? Of course not! Christ reigns forever.
So Matthew 1:25 does not prove that Joseph and Mary had sexual relations; it only proves that they did not have them prior to the birth of Christ. This was to emphasize that Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit and not of a man, such as Joseph.
@@felixayala2465 Mary says to the angel that she knows no man, which means she does not have sexual relationships.
Michael Archangel Ben Calvert in the comments has backed up that this man is twisting scripture. He compares scripture to scripture in his posts, you should read them.
I love Dr. Brant Pitre. He is a special gift from God to us. God bless him always and his family.
The new Ark, new Eve
Wouldn’t the bride of Christ be a more appropriate eve?? Having mary as the new eve is a little incestual. Mary wasn’t the NT focus unless you shoe in “The Gospel of James”.
Was it not Adam who is credited for the fall rather than eve? Did Paul not say For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ??? Even replacing eve argumentatively seems out of character with scripture. Its about correcting Adam, not eve.
Mary as the new Ark, thats obvious in logic, but the original ark wasn’t a focal point but a carrier. The cloud of God was above the Ark. all bowed to the cloud presence of God, not the ark. The original Ark carried scripture, Gods truth, not God himself. Today wouldn’t the new ark be the pillar and foundation of the Truth?
Does it not seem odd that the current established 4 Marion dogmas are listed in The Protoevangelium of James and Pseudo-Matthew which is rejected by the Roman Catholic church?
BRAVOOO!!! Standing ovations for this one from Orthodox Christian.
Well if you know the Bible , u know tat there is a connection of both the old and new testament. Both are related. Jesus's birth was also declared and significance is given in the old testament.. new testament has Jesus quotes words from the old testament.. go read the Bible
An Orthodox Christian follows the King James Version Bible
Mary was so important to Peter and the other Apostles when they were writing their letters that they didn't even mention her. But they mentioned Jesus 335 times.
Why? Because they disrespected Mary, No. It's because Mary's job is complete. She gave birth to to Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. She raised him from a young child to a man. Her job is complete.
Jesus on the other hand is still very important and his job is not complete until all of his children are at home with him. That is why he is talked about 335 times and Mary is not mentioned.
@@brianhale3678 they're bringing in the one world religion under Mary. They are worshiping Mary more then Christ.

@@brianhale3678 Do you think Sacred Scripture is truly the word of God? If so, it can’t be a coincidence that the language employed by Luke in 1:39-45 has striking similarities to passages in 2 Samuel 6:1-12. Nor can we fail to see the parallels between Mary’s Magnificat in Luke 1:46-56 with the song of Hannah in 1 Samuel 2:1-10. We need to read Scripture as a whole and make logical inferences. The Bible never uses the word “trinity” to refer to God and yet Christians believe in it through examination of the texts, both OT and NT.
@@impasse0124
Super important that's why the apostles forgot to mention it.
Jesus was king of Israel long before any of those people were born.
1 Samuel 8:6-8 ESV -
But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” And Samuel prayed to the LORD. And the LORD said to Samuel, “Obey the voice of the people in all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected me from being king over them. According to all the deeds that they have done, from the day I brought them up out of Egypt even to this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are also doing to you.
@@impasse0124
God invited us directly to his throne to ask for grace and mercy.
I will be doing that instead of pretending that I need to send anyone there for me including Mary.
Mary who was an honorable Christian woman and is now in heaven.
Hebrews 4:14-16 ESV -
Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Dr. Pitre, you are AMAZING! My mind is blown right now. Thank you! I asked the Lord to help me to understand Mary more as a new Catholic (former Protestant who struggles with Mariology) and He came through with flying colors, as He always does. God bless you and your ministry.

@@kennethzech2406
Anti God CZcams trolls still slandering God after given His truth.
The Catholic Church gave the Holy Bible to the world. Over 1500 years later, Protestants rewrote it, deleted verses, chapters, books and changed wording to both the Bible and the Ten Commandments.
Revelation 22:18 For I call as witnesses all listeners of the words of the prophecy of this book. If anyone will have added to these, God will add upon him the afflictions written in this book.
Revelation 22:19 And if anyone will have taken away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his portion from the Book of Life, and from the Holy City, and from these things which have been written in this book.
Also, Jesus Christ established The One True Apostolic Catholic Church and set His Doctrine in His Church. He wants everyone to be His Church and remain in His Doctrine.
Matthew 16:18 And I say to you, that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.
Matthew 16:19 And I will give YOU the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatever YOU shall bind on earth shall be bound, even in heaven. And whatever YOU shall release on earth shall be released, even in heaven.”
1 Corinthians 12:28 And indeed, God has established a certain order in the Church: first Apostles, second Prophets, third Teachers, next miracle-workers, and then the grace of healing, of helping others, of governing, of different kinds of languages, and of the interpretation of words.
Mark 3:14 And he acted so that the twelve would be with him, and so that he might send them out to preach.
Mark 3:15 And he gave them authority to cure infirmities, and to cast out demons:
Mark 3:16 and he imposed on Simon the name Peter;
Ephesians 4:4 One body and one Spirit: to this you have been called by the one hope of your calling:
Ephesians 4:5 one Lord, ONE FAITH, one baptism,
Ephesians 4:6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in us all.
John 10:16 And I have other sheep that are not of this fold, and I must lead them. They shall hear my voice, and there shall be one sheepfold and one shepherd.
John 17:20 But I am not praying for them only, but also for those who through their word shall believe in me.
John 17:21 So may they all be one. Just as you, Father, are in me, and I am in you, so also may they be one in us: so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
John 17:22 And the glory that you have given to me, I have given to them, so that they may be one, just as we also are one.
John 17:23 I am in them, and you are in me. So may they be perfected as one. And may the world know that you have sent me and that you have loved them, just as you have also loved me.
John 17:24 Father, I will that where I am, those whom you have given to me may also be with me, so that they may see my glory which you have given to me. For you loved me before the founding of the world.
2 John 1:9 Everyone who withdraws and does not remain in the doctrine of Christ, does not have God. Whoever remains in the doctrine, such a one as this has both the Father and the Son.
Hebrews 13:9 Do not be led away by changing or strange doctrines. And it is best for the heart to be sustained by grace, not by foods. For the latter have not been as useful to those who walked by them.
Galatians 1:6 I wonder that you have been so quickly transferred, from him who called you into the grace of Christ, over to another gospel.
Galatians 1:7 For there is no other, except that there are some persons who disturb you and who want to overturn the Gospel of Christ.
Galatians 1:8 But if anyone, even we ourselves or an Angel from Heaven, were to preach to you a gospel other than the one that we have preached to you, let him be anathema.
Galatians 1:9 Just as we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone has preached a gospel to you, other than that which you have received, let him be anathema.
>>>Although Peter recognized himself as an apostle (see, e.g., 1 Pet. 1:1; 2 Pet. 1:1), he never claimed a superior title, rank, or privilege over the other apostles. He even referred to himself as a “fellow elder” (1 Pet. 5:1) and as “a bond-servant” of Christ (2 Pet. 1:1). Far from claiming honor and homage for himself, he soberly warns his fellow elders to guard against lording it over those under their pastoral care (1 Pet. 5:3). The only glory he claimed for himself was that which is shared by all believers and which is yet “to be revealed, … when the Chief Shepherd appears” (vv. 1, 4).
>>>St. Peter address himself as elder in 1 Peter 5:1 and 2 Peter 3:2 as apostle.
1 Peter 5:1 The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed:
2 Peter 3:2 I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy >>>>prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.
>>>> St Peter was not the first pope, he had the title of "Apostle" and nothing else.
He was recognized as the First Bishop Of Rome by the Catholic Church. St Peter was supposed to make Linus the first bishop of Rome.
The title Pope was introduced by the 38th Pope St Siricius in 384 AD it was Papa which is English for Pope.
St Peter taught the Circumcised (Jews) , and St Paul taught the gentiles (Rome) , and St Peter never went to Rome at all, and if he did I am sure St Paul would have mentioned it he mentions Mark is with me.

Remember that all the prophecy of the old testament revealed in the new and thats how you should read your bible. Mary said in Luke 1:48 “all generations will call me blessed”. I’m sure you are not belong on that generations that the blessed mother say because your arrogance devoured your watery brain.
Aida Ruilova are you kidding me how is Mary the ark of the covenant that’s just stupid Jesus Christ said I am the way the truth and the life nobody comes unto the father but by me,so he’s calling Jesus a liar,do catholic people read the Bible,because I was brought up catholic and we never read it thank God I found the truth through the word of God I love catholic people but the church is a joke I’m from Ireland and the things I seen going on in the Catholic Church where disgusting

Sending some more “awe 😯🤔) all Jewish became for Jesus and Maria, the Holy Spirit that inside of her
השכינה ששוכנת בתוכה כמו במשכן קודש הקודשים ..
O my we just got it perfect.. happy to be privileged.
Amazing witness. Jesus is the awaited Messiah. I wondered why so many Jews can't see it.
No, Mary is not the Ark. Jesus is the Ark. The woman in Revelation is not Mary, it is the nation of Israel. Who was the woman in the OT? Israel. Who was called God's wife in the OT? Israel.
Read past Revelation 12:1. On her head was a crown of 12 stars, that is the twelve tribes of Israel. She was about to give birth and Satan was waiting to devour her child. The child was caught up to heaven and the woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her. That is during the Tribulation protecting the remnant of Israel from the Anti-Christ.
@Eternally Catholic Apparently it was the apostles and 120 more believers/disciples. It's good that Mary did believe in Jesus as her savior. It was the birthday of the church in Jerusalem, the mother church. Other churches were started in time with the spreading of the Gospel, which is universal (the meaning of the word catholic).
I found the truth, the door opened to me, many decades ago. I pray you will also, keep pursuing to find the REAL TRUTH.
@Eternally Catholic Israel in the NT is Israel, God's chosen people always.
"Holy Mother Church patterned off of Our Lady...doing it through His woman, the Holy Catholic Church"----That is pagan.
"God chooses to crush satan through His woman. God is inside her...The Church is the mystical body of Christ and we simultaneously reside under the mantle of Holy Mother Church....Through Mother Mary is how God is going to crush satan's head once and for all....both must be sinless to renew humanity"----THAT is apostasy and heresy.
Adam and Eve were husband and wife, NOT son and mother. This is the pagan worship of mother and son. ONLY Jesus is the sinless Son of God and Son of Man, the second Adam. Israel is the true woman/mother; Mary is just the vessel and NOT sinless. THAT is why Jesus would have called her woman and not mother after He was grown, and she is just a human woman.
The SEED of the woman will crush Satan's head. SEED only=the Messiah, the Savior. NOT the woman, NOT the woman and her seed. Churches do not crush Satan on a daily basis. Satan is the default ruler of our fallen world. We live in enemy territory. Only Jesus will crush Satan, in the future. Christians can have victory over Satan, but only as individuals. Sorry, but the RCC doesn't resist Satan. History proves that. The church in Rome was never holy mother church.
The Church of Jesus Christ is His Body, His Bride. It's not mystical, and it's not any particular church. It is comprised of ALL true believers of ALL the ages from churches, from no churches.
@Eternally Catholic What we know is that the word catholic means universal, not any specific church. That is the usage in the first few centuries. Roman Catholicism did not exist the first few centuries. Jesus did not found any physical churches. He trained and commissioned his apostles who went on to found several churches, with missionaries continuing planting churches throughout the centuries.
No, Protestants did not take books out of the Bible. The RCC added books to the Bible. The Hebrew scriptures did not include those seven books and never had. Israel rejected those books as inspired scripture, historical books only. Jesus, the apostles, usage in the Temple was only the Hebrew scriptures. The RCC used the controversial Septuagint for the OT which included the apocrypha.
Of course the OT already existed. The books of the NT were decided by early believers in the 1st and early 2nd century by their usage and acceptance out of all the early writings. RCC councils in later centuries were only a formality for what had already been long decided.
"Pope Linus is even mentioned as being in Rome with Saints Peter and Paul in the Bible."
No. The only place in the Bible where a Linus is mentioned is 2 Timothy 4:21. There are no further details regarding this Linus nor is Peter mentioned either. There would only be extra-Biblical tradition regarding your assertion.
Jesus is the fulfillment of the Ark of the Covenant. He is our Ark.
"two angels, one sitting at each end of the slab which had held the broken body of our Lord. That scene points us back to the Ark of the Covenant where two cherubim hovered over its blood splattered mercy seat!
There is no more need for the Ark. Jesus has fulfilled all that the Ark stood for. He was deity who took on flesh. He rendered complete obedience to the Law, being made perfect and becoming the source of our salvation (Hebrews 5:8-9). His blood was shed for our sins, and His victory is attested by the fact and the power of His resurrection.
Just as the Ark was designed to be a symbol of the presence of God in the midst of His people, Jesus is the ultimate expression of God’s love and care and presence. He is our Ark. He is our Law. He is our Manna. He is our Budded Rod. And, thank God, He is our Mercy Seat."
Yes, Satan doesn't want you to know the Truth and authentic history. Pray for your eyes to be opened.
Thank you for your work.

I been watching this vid hundred times 😂 always love how Dr Pitre explains it
People cite Rom 3:28-30, 4:3, 4:5, etc, Gal 2:16. to argue for justification by faith without works. St Paul meant circumcision by the term works of the Law. The council of Jerusalem had settled the issue and gentiles need not be circumcised in order to be baptized. Hence the church had decided that circumcision is not required for salvation. The people who argue this way never cite verses from the book of James who speaks about works of charity and mercy. Is not the book of James part of the Bible.? The Catholic Church correctly balances the teaching of the entire Bible. Like a good parent it will not feed the children with snakes and scorpions.
We are saved by grace through faith in Christ alone for the glory of God
@Janette Davis Yes there are deeds and no one is saying sit on your bottom and do nothing . You might notice Paul says you are saved by grace and he says it twice in Ephesians as he is making a point to those that are listening. He also points out that it is not Grace and works . V 9
Eph 2: 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions-it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
James points out that faith without works is dead James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
However we are not saved because of our works . Works is something God has planned for us Eph 2:10 . Works of faith that we do, is in response to what God has given us, not what we do to get salvation, as salvation is given to us as a gift . No one works for the gift , they just accept it. No one given the gift of salvation will turn around and go back to their old ways of life as there will always be a positive response to a good gift.
Whenever a Protestant accuses of worshipping Mary, I can now explain with great detail WHO she is and WHY we hold her in high regard. You, as an outsider can’t understand a reverence UNTIL you identify her. Fantastic work
Here is the Biblical Typology for Mary as the New Ark.
Notice how Luke parallels Samuel.
The same thing can be done for Mary as the New Eve.
New Ark of the Covenant
(1)
2 SAMUEL: David TRAVELED with the Ark to the Hill Country of Judea
LUKE: Mary TRAVELED to the Hill Country of Judea
(2)
2 SAMUEL: How can the Ark of the Lord ever COME TO ME?
LUKE: Why is this granted that the Mother of my Lord should COME TO ME?
(3)
2 SAMUEL: David Proclaims his Unworthiness to Receive the Ark
LUKE: Elizabeth Proclaims her Unworthiness to Receive Mary
(4)
2 SAMUEL: David SHOUTS in the PRESENCE of the Ark
LUKE: Elizabeth exclaims in a LOUD CRY in the PRESENCE of Mary
(5)
2 SAMUEL: David was LEAPING & DANCING in the Presence of the Ark
LUKE: John the Baptist LEAPED in the Presence of Mary’s womb
(6)
2 SAMUEL: Obed-Edom’s HOUSE was "BLESSED BY THE PRESENCE" of the Ark
LUKE: Elizabeth's HOUSE was "BLESSED BY THE PRESENCE" of God in Mary's womb
(7)
2 SAMUEL: The Ark Remained in Obed-Edom’s HOUSE for THREE MONTHS
LUKE: Mary Remained in Elizabeth’s HOUSE for THREE MONTHS
(8.)
2 SAMUEL: The Ark Returns Home to the Temple in Jerusalem
LUKE: Mary Returns Home and goes to the Temple in Jerusalem
(9)
2 SAMUEL: I will Celebrate before the Lord
LUKE: My spirit has Rejoiced in God my Savior
(10)
2 SAMUEL: I will be Humble in my own eyes
LUKE: He has regarded the Humility of His handmaiden
(11)
2 SAMUEL: I will be held in Honor before the maidservants
LUKE: All generations shall call me Blessed
@@annapennrose1158fantastic writeup, thank you. Maybe you mentioned it and I missed it:
The old ark held the 10 commandments, necessary for salvation.
The new ark held Jesus, necessary for salvation.
Beautiful! Love these parallels. Great stuff.

The other night as I lay praying all three rosaries I had gotten to the 4th glorious mystery. Now while I was praying an image or impression was given me. I saw a huge boat or ark. I saw it from 2 angles. 1) looking down at it like. I could see boards that ran crossways. As if the boat were some how open maybe? Idk. Then I saw as if I were looking at it from the side and it wae complete or finished? I can't explain it. I could sense that this ark or Mary and it was mans last chance or offer of Salvation. The word "beautiful" was impressed upon me. So I knew the ark was beautiful. After this imagery God gave me I then offered the Rosariesin in honor and the intentions of Mary the ark of the covenant.
Mary honor my request. My son had a job interview in Washington DC, he wanted this job and there were 60 applicants he said , the interview was nerve racking. I prayed to Mother Mary , I said, if you truly are our spiritual mother like they say you are please let my son be selected. I was at the deck saying my miraculous medal novena when I got a text from my son , he was 1 of the ten that was selected for the job. I cried of happiness, I will never ever doubted our mother Mary. ❤️❤️❤️
we love Dr Brant goofy jokes and sense of humor. They are great at setting a good , unintimidating tone. Thanks man, a holy goofy comedian admidst great scholarship
Thank you so much!
God bless u
Prof. Brant Pitre's love for Mary and scripture is palpable!
Dr. Porte, you are a wonderful teacher. Although I agree Mary was very special, and symbolically very significant, you did not address the concept of the church being the mother as in Galatians 4. Using your teaching of the beatitudes, Doesn’t it make sense that Mary was blessed above all women because she not only experienced the suffering of losing a son in his prime, she was fully aware of his innocence and of the injustice being done to Him? In other words, as you teach, she was blessed above all women, because she suffered the most.
Excellent! I'm a lifelong practicing Catholic but have never heard such a cogent and compelling explanation re the BVM as the ark of the New Covenant before. Thank you very much!
If Mary was the Ark because Jesus indwelled her for 9 months, does that mean that Believers are now the Ark since Jesus now indwells us (John 14:23) ?? *JESUS is the Ark -- everything inside and outside the Ark represents Jesus. The MOST IMPORTANT part of the Ark that symbolizes Jesus and our New Covenant with God is the MERCY SEAT -- Jesus being the mercy of God to a lost and sinful world -- and the Mercy Seat was NOT INSIDE the Ark -- it was the lid of the Ark.*
Soooo..... for you to suggest that Mark was the Ark because she housed the rod/bread/law that represented Jesus -- but did NOT house the most important part of the Ark that symbolized Jesus and our New Covenant thru Jesus -- is RIDICULOUS.
*You are guilty of giving all of the glorious attributes that belong to GOD/Messiah ALONE* -- sinless, immaculately conceived, Ark, mediator, redeemer, giver of grace, leader to Christ, protector, crusher of Satan, etc -- *to a mere female creature -- GOD HATES THAT -- read ROMANS 1:25-28.* Now you know why there is rampant homosexuality in the Roman hierarchy that teaches these heresies.
Fantastic teaching again from Brant Pitrie . I’ve learned so much about the Catholic faith from reading his books & watching his videos. A real blessing to the Church in these times of confusion & false teaching 🙏🏻
I am genuinely interested in hearing a non-catholic Christian scholar, respond to these types of Catholic doctrines and explanations.
Rather than spending a lifetime claiming that we shouldn't use the word father or that statues are bad..... address and actual intellectual idea and give a true response.
I can't find it, anywhere.
Where can I find a non-catholic Christian responding to the similarities and typology of the Old Testament Ark, and the New Testament descriptions of Mary?
Matthew 23:9 And do not call anyone on earth `father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called `teacher,' for you have one Teacher, the Christ. The greatest among you will be your servant. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
--Jesus is speaking in spiritual terms. It is okay to you dad, father---because he is an imitation of our father in heaven.--(at least he is supposed to be).
-Just as Jesus spoke here:
Matthew 12:48-50 But He answered and said to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
The people were speaking biologically. Jesus spoke spiritually.
quote---- or that statues are bad.... unquote
Depends on what that statue is used for..
Is is for worship? Is one to bow to it?? Ask it questions expecting a reply?
Pray to it?
Or is it just a image of someone famous???
NO ONE know what Mary looked like. Yes, there are paintings of Mary.
Was the painter right there?
The earliest painting of Mary?
The Roman Priscilla catacombs contain the known oldest Marian paintings, dating from the middle of the second century. In one, Mary is shown with the infant Jesus on her lap. The Priscilla catacomb also includes the oldest known fresco of the Annunciation, dating to the 4th century.
At least 60 plus years AFTER Mary died!!! The painter did NOT see Mary to paint it!!!
Mary saw Jesus crucified about 33 AD... John was arrested and sent to Patmos.
When was John imprisoned on Patmos?
95 AD
It is believed that John and Mary came to Ephesus and that John became the leader of the Church at Ephesus. Eventually, he was captured in a persecution campaign by the Roman Emperor Domitian and was ultimately banished to Patmos (Revelation 1:9-10) in 95 AD.
That would make Mary OVER 100 years old!!!
One tradition says that Mary died in AD 43 and another in AD 48, but we have no way of confirming either date.
Since it is agreed by Catholics , Mary was born around 18BC.--If she died about 48AD--that makes her age at death about 66.

Excellent lecture. Dr. Pitre rocks!
For my son Ruben Edward Solis and his Natasha. GOD bless you both.
Here is just one paragraph from Fr. Michael O'Carroll's "Theotokos: A Theological Encyclopedia of the Blessed Virgin Mary," 1982, a Michael Glazier Book published by the Liturgical Press, under the entry for "Ark of the Covenant:" 'In a fragment from St. Irenaeus (qv) we read: "That Ark is shown to be a type of the body of Christ pure and undefiled..." It was Hippolytus of Rome (qv) who first related the Ark to Our Lady: "Now the Lord was without sin, being in his human nature from incorruptible wood, that is from the Virgin, and being sheathed, as it were, with the pure gold of the Word within and of the Spirit without." In the Coptic sermon attributed to Athanasius (qv), which if not authentic is probably of the fourth century, Our Lady is addressed thus: "O Ark of the new covenant, clad on all sides with purity in place of gold; the one in whom is found the golden vase with its true manna, that is the flesh in which lies the God-head." In a Pseudo Athanasian sermon for the Presentation of the Lord, which is certainly fifth century, David is said to call Mary the Ark of sanctification.'
I learn so much from these videos, thank you Professor!
Hail, bright Star of ocean, God's own Mother Blessed! Ever sinless Virgin, Gate of heavenly rest!
Dear Dr. Pitre, thank you for this beautiful exegesis. Would you please now do the same for Mary as Co-Redemptrix?
He will not do it because Catholic Church does not formally teach it. There is an open debate in Catholic Church on Mary as Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of all Graces. I believe that Mary is both Co-Redemptrix and Mediatrix of all Graces. This can be demonstrated with Mary as the Ark of the new covenant and Mary as Eve. However I will only focus on Mary as Ark. Our Redemption was won through the Victory of Jesus over Satan/Sin/Death. Jesus who is God redeemed us. But through Mary’s acceptance and cooperation with God’s mission for her, Mary is co-redemptrix. Co does not mean equal but instead stresses the fact God ordained Mary to be a part of his plan of redemption. Mary did not save us but God used Mary to bring Jesus in our midst who is our savior. This is similar to Ark of old covenant. It was God who gave Jews victory but God used the Ark to bring His presence in their midst whereby the Jews received God’s gift of victory over their enemies.
@@heb597 I can't speak to him not doing it (time will tell,) but as for everything else you wrote, yes 100% agree!
God is so good!
@@marksteury9797 I pray that he speaks on it
quote--- God's own Mother Blessed! Ever sinless Virgin,..unquote
Then that makes God a liar!!!
----And the Hebrews!!!
first of all: 1 Corinthians 7:1-16
The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife.
along with this: Where in the Bible does it say not to deny your husband?
1 Corinthians 7:5
Do not deny yourselves to each other, unless you first agree to do so for a while in order to spend your time in prayer; but then resume normal marital relations. In this way you will be kept from giving in to Satan's temptation because of your lack of self-control.
If Mary kept herself from Joseph, that makes her a sinner twice!!!!
----What is God's purpose for married couples?
God's Three Purposes For Marriage
God designed marriage so that man and woman could come together and be saved from their sins. When husband and wife come together in holy matrimony, they commit to God's plan for their lives. This plan includes raising children in a God-fearing home and helping each other stay on the path to salvation.
>>>What does the Bible say about newly married couples?
“If a man has recently married, he must not be sent to war or have any other duty laid on him. For one year he is to be free to stay at home and bring happiness to the wife he has married” (Deut. 24:5).
>>>Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
>>Genesis 9:7 And you, be fruitful and multiply, increase greatly on the earth and multiply in it.”
>>>Leviticus 26:9 I will turn to you and make you fruitful and multiply you and will confirm my covenant with you.
>>>Genesis 26:24 And the Lord appeared to him the same night and said, “I am the God of Abraham your father. Fear not, for I am with you and will bless you and multiply your offspring for my servant Abraham's sake.”
>>>John 15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
>>>Genesis 2:24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
You seem to think God (priest) did NOT say the same to Joseph and Mary!!!i
Catholics add and take away from the word of God---then I will do the same.
--What is the end goal of a newely married couple???
Genesis 1:28, Genesis 9:7 , Genesis 9:1 , Genesis 1:22 , Genesis 35:11 , Genesis 48:4 , Genesis 28:3 , Leviticus 26:9, Genesis 9:1-29 , Ephesians 6:4, Genesis 22:17 , Genesis 16:10 , John 15:16 , Genesis 2:24 , Hebrews 6:14 , Genesis 17:2 , Deuteronomy 8:1 , Ezekiel 36:10 , Exodus 32:13 .
Yes--some of those quotes are given ONLY to specific people. Why not to Joseph and Mary???
>>> Catholics have created a monster, called The Blessed Virgin, or Queen of Heaven. The Catholic Mary is a fraud, a demonic myth. Catholics teach that Mary was born without a sin-nature (called the Immaculate Conception), lived a sinless life, remained aperpetual virgin, and was bodily assumed into Heaven. Not one of these false doctrines can be supported with the Bible. Yet, Catholics fully reject the Word of God to keep their own TRADITIONS instead (Mark 7:9).
>>>Matthew 13:55, 56
That’s five sons minimum, (Jesus, James, Joseph, Simon and Judah) and two daughters minimum (“his sisters”, plural).
How many brothers and sisters did Jesus have?
The brothers of Jesus or the adelphoi (Greek: ἀδελφοί, translit. adelphoí, lit. "of the same womb") are named in the New Testament as James, Joses (a form of Joseph), Simon, and Jude, and unnamed sisters are mentioned in Mark and Matthew.
AGAIN--OF THE SAME WOMB!!!!------half siblings CAN NOT be of the SAME WOMB!!!!!---unless Mary remarried after Joseph died, and HAD MORE CHILDREN!!! Which again means she did NOT remain a virgin.
AND----1 Corinthians 7:5 Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
--If Mary had no sex with Joseph, she then IS DISOBEYING GOD!!! THAT MAKES HER A SINNER!!!!!
WhAts the title of the book he was holding ?
Jesus and the Jewish roots of Mary.
excellent
Beautiful and explicit explanations, thanks Dr.Pitre. You are sooo brilliant! a God sent to the believers, especially Catholics. May God bless you always.
Believers in pure bullshit.
Thanks Dr. for another great exegesis 🙏🙏, continue your great work of igniting the hearts of believers and leading people to heaven , because nobody goes to heaven or hell alone !!.
If people could know about and experience the real presence of God in the Holy Eucharist they may come to know about Mother Mary, contrarily, when they reject the Holy Eucharist , it is not a surprise that they reject the new ark of covenant also.
HALLELUJAH!
I would like to know what's the earliest christian source for this parallel with the Ark? For instance, the Mary/Eve conection was first made by Justin Martyr and Irenaeus around 140 to 180 AD.

Hilton Chapman Exactly. The devil can appear as an angel of light. Or more often as, an anti- Catholic.
@Matthew Aislabie we "Catholics don't have to make apologetics to you Protestants ye never understood our religion r never will sad really 😣😣😣😣
@Matthew Aislabie Silly you; you don't know the Bible. He is God of the living, not of the dead. "Have you not read about the burning bush in the Book of Moses, and how God told him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!" because Mary the mother of God, like Abraham and Isaac and Elijah and Enoch is indeed living with God.
This is so true, my Girl friend figure this out by research.
Amen.
Amen
Wow Amen HOLY MOTHER MARY is THE ARK OF NEW COVENANT MOTHER OF GOD AND MOTHER of CHURCH AMEN
Paul , Mary is not the Arc of the New Covenant there is only one Arc they is no New Ark . Christ was the mediator of the New Covenant he was not the Covenant the old covenant the sacrifices were the blood of animals the New Covenant was the blood of Christ he was the sacrificial Lamb It doesn`t have any thing to do with the Arc . Read the scriptures and you will know the truth and stop listening to the false teaching of the RCC Mary is not the mother of anything but Christ and her other sons and daughters
Donald Cooley Perfect Jehovah witness always arguing out of point, claiming self righteousness.. Never humble to hear always assuming all knowledge. May God open your eyes to the Truth.
General , I don`t claim to be self righteous . My righteousness comes by faith in Christ , and I have been on here for months and listening to the lies and unscriptural teachings of the false teachers , talking about Mary that are not in the scriptures any and all knowledge I have is taught to me by the spirit of God and studying the scriptures my eyes are open to the fact that the Roman Catholic Church`s false doctrines and Marian doctrine and Mariology which is not scriptural along with rituals an practices that are of pagan origin which makes it an apostate universal Church . It is hard to be humble when you see people deceived by the teaching of the RCC.
Donald Cooley Well as a Catholic there is no paganism in our teaching, people like assume nothing but self righteousness, look at the teaching of Dr. pitre he quote scripture from old testament and new and very well collaborate them each never quoted any book of paganism so what is you take in all this...you are like the Pharisees of old, they studied the scripture, leave with the scripture and saw themselves as pious and holy bit when the scripture ( Jesus Christ came in person to teach them the way the Truth, they rejected him and kill him) and they continue with the scripture. My good friend Humble yourself before God so that he will show the Truth.... In the Catholic church all we ask God is this.....May God Almighty have Mercy on us forgive us our SINS and bring is to everlasting life. This should be your daily prayers and not just finding fault's and condemnation. May God have Mercy on us all. Amen
Genaral . Any thing pertaining to the Gospels and the New Covenant and the way of salvation Is found in the scriptures of The New Testament Letters to the Churches It looks like that the Catholic want to prove their false doctrine have to go to the Old Testament and fine A parallel try and prove some thing that is not in the scriptures . like mary is the new ark she is the new eve and the ritual of the eucharist which is not in the new testament scriptures there Is no call for a priest the Old Covenant was done away with and replaced with the New Covenant it looks like in your Mass and the eucharist you believe that Christ is present the only way he would be present is in the bodies of the saved worshipers if you have any . You continue to sacrifice Christ in the Mass and the Eucharist . Christ is the High Priest and he is the sacrificial Lamb and he died once and shed his blood once there can be no more sacrifices for sins what Christ was talking about in John 6 was all spiritual not literal Christ says the words that I speak unto you are spiritual and they are Life verse 63 . I repented of my sins and ask God to come in to my heart and save me I don`t have to ask him every day he save me and gave me his spirit and at the same time added me to his Church . his body the only true Church made up of the save who gave their life to Christ by faith I am Baptized by the one spirit in to the one body the Church which is Christ 1 Cor. 12 : 12 - 13 and it is the only Church that will meet him in the air at the rapture . Paul gives us an example for the Communion in 1 Cor 11 : 23 - 26
How can anyone resist the truth? Mary is indeed the new ark of the covenant. Thank you Dr Pitre for your scholarly exegesis.
That is a lie. The scriptures he presented were twisted to make her look like she is the Ark. Jesus is the new Ark. She cannot be. Jeremiah 31:31-34, Hebrews 9:15 Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.
Luke 22:20 And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood. Hebrews 8:13 In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
@@bcalvert321 That's not how early orthodox Christian luminaries saw it, Ben. Here is just one paragraph from Fr.

@@St.IrenaeusOfLyons They were all well after the Apostles had died. Jesus never said she was His ark, never. There is not one Epistle that says that. Mary was a sinner. There are no verses that say she was sin-free, not one. Catholics are always putting in assumptions with no proof of anything. Who put Jesus into her womb. It was the Holy Spirit. Jesus had the Spirit of God in Him before He was born. When Mary and Elizabeth first met what happened. Both John and Jesus leaped for joy. John was not Holy Spirit filled but He felt the presence of God. So she was never sin-free and the Holy Spirit kept Hin free from her sin. This is what happened. It was not some made-up story about her being an Ark of God.
@@bcalvert321 Some made up story? How do you explain the parallelisms presented in this video between the Ark and Mary, then? You do believe, I presume, that these parallelism's are drawn from canonical writings, as I do. How did they come to contain these parallelisms? If these are fabrications, can you fabricate some similar parallelisms between the Ark and another person, so we can believe, as you say, that they can be made up?
@@St.IrenaeusOfLyons There are no parallelisms That is just it. Those are man-made and not from God. Assumptions that have no basis in scripture.
Luke 1:26-30 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. This is what those verses actually say. You can look at the Greek or the Septuagint. They both say this. Jerome mistranslated these verses. She was never sin-free. The Ark is with God by the time these things came about. The verse in Revelation is about the ancient Ark. It is not about Mary. Neither is Rev.12. The whole chapter is about Israel. The woman is a sign and it is not Mary. John saw a dragon also but it too was a sign. The sun, moon, and stars refer to Genesis 37. It is about Joseph's dreams. The stars are his brothers, they and Joseph make up the 12 tribes of Israel. The Sun represents Jacob and the moon is Rachel. Mary was never ever dressed like that except in Catholic paintings which are wrong. Read all of 12 and put the nation of Israel instead of Mary in the passages. It was the Jews that gave birth to Jesus in a spiritual way.
Mary gave birth in a physical way.
Thanks you for the enlightenment Dr. Pitre. God bless you. Greetings from Malaysia.
Thank you, Dr. Pitre, for feeding us with mysteries of the Word of God.

@@thomascaulfieldder3452 Explain why Gabriel, an archangel and servant of God, greeted Mary saying "HAIL, favored one! The Lord is with you." [Luke 1:28]
I have to say this has persuaded me that Mary indeed could have been in a state of sinlessness. It reminds me of Wesleyan perfection doctrine.
As there are twenty verses in the new testament that mention Mary by name there are no verses that put her station above being the mother of Jesus. Who is without sin? We know the trinity is shall we add one more ?
@@bobloblawb2593 Adam and Eve were created without sin. The New Testament is explicit that Jesus is the New Adam and very strongly implicit that Mary is the New Eve. Certainly early Christian luminaries thought so including Irenaeus (circa 130-202) and a host of others who compared and contrasted Eve and Mary in their writings or homilies. Catholics are not required but are allowed to believe that Jesus and Mary functioned as the New Adam and the New Eve, respectively, at the Wedding at Cana, which is the 7th day of a new creation. Jesus strangely called her "Woman" there and again from the cross, likening her to Eve.
@@St.IrenaeusOfLyons Adam and Eve were created without sin
.
Adam and Eve were created by God perfectly with spirit and flesh. When lucifer in the form of a snake comes into the garden Gen 3:3 but about the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You must not eat of it or touch it, or you will die.’ ” 4 “You will not surely die,” the serpent told her. 5“ For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”…
So what died when Eve bit into the pomegranate? Adam and Eve both died spiritually and lived on physically. God created man in His image and Adam had children in his image , spiritually dead ,physically alive. Gen 5:1-3
The New Testament is explicit that Jesus is the New Adam and very strongly implicit that Mary is the New Eve.
Jesus is the firstborn over all of creation, to be born without sin. Mary the mother of Jesus fulfilled her role as the mother of the human side of Jesus but beyond that she is not the new Eve. Now you said
"very strongly implicit that Mary is the New Eve. "
can you site specific passages in scripture that would point this out?
Certainly early Christian luminaries thought so including Irenaeus (circa 130-202) and a host of others who compared and contrasted Eve and Mary in their writings or homilies.
CCC 411 has this statement " she was preserved from all stain of original sin and by a special grace of God committed no sin of any kind during her whole earthly life "
and yet the scriptures tell us Mary's song and in it she claims God as her savior? Why if she is without sin there is no reason to have a savior! If Mary was indeed without sin then she would be part of the Godhead as they are without sin. So shall we add one more person to the trinity?
As to CCC 411 there are no references given for that belief? As to the early church fathers they, like us today ,were subject to having their own opinions and we need to go to scripture for our truth not to someone with an opinion.
Jesus strangely called her "Woman" there and again from the cross, likening her to Eve.
Woman was a compliment where today it would not be considered the same. Mary was the mother of Jesus and of the twenty verses in scripture that point out Mary the mother of Jesus ,there is not one verse that makes her out to be what the roman Catholic church has claimed for her!
1. Mary is the most blessed woman on earth in all the ages .
2.Mary is the mother of Jesus .
that is what the scriptures say about Mary .
@@bobloblawb2593 Hi Bob. Several points:
1) One can BOTH have a savior and be sinless if prevented by grace from sinning. That is, one can be saved BEFORE ever sinning. Catholicism holds that God gave Mary a plenitude of grace. Eastern Orthodoxy calls Mary "panagia" - "All Holy."
2) There is a difference between a few opinions of the Fathers of the Church and a consensus patrum. The idea of Mary as the New Eve was so widespread that it was proverbial and quite early. Justin Martyr wrote circa 160 AD: “Eve, who was a virgin and undefiled, having conceived the word of the serpent, brought forth disobedience and death. But the Virgin Mary conceived faith and joy, when the angel Gabriel announced the good tidings to her that the Spirit of the Lord would come upon her, and the power of the Highest would overshadow her: wherefore also the Holy One begotten of her is the Son of God” (Dial. 100). Irenaeus of Lyons wrote circa 174-189 "it was that the knot of Eve's disobedience was loosed by the obedience of Mary. For what the virgin Eve had bound fast through unbelief, this did the virgin Mary set free through faith" ("Against Heresies," III, 22). And there is a multitude of additional examples.
3) "Woman" was an extremely rare expression for a son to use toward his mother and not a mere "compliment."
4) The Wedding at Cana can be seen as the culmination, the seventh day, of a new creation. John's Gospel begins with "In the beginning..." and when we get to the Wedding at Cana in John 2, seven days have passed with Jesus calling his disciples. Jesus and Mary function as the New Adam and the New Eve. Jesus calls Mary, his mother, "woman" here as he does again from the cross near the end of John's narrative.
@@St.IrenaeusOfLyons Time is short so I will reply to #1. 1) One can BOTH have a savior and be sinless if prevented by grace from sinning. That is, one can be saved BEFORE ever sinning. Catholicism holds that God gave Mary a plenitude of grace. Eastern Orthodoxy calls Mary "panagia" - "All Holy."
One can BOTH have a savior and be sinless if prevented by grace from sinning.
there is no basis in scripture that you can find to back up the sinless Mary concept.
Why did Mary have to be without sin? If you think Jesus had to be born from a sinless woman, where did He get His humanity from?
That is, one can be saved BEFORE ever sinning.
in the case of a child before the age of accountability , yes, the child is saved in death but not after the age of accountability is reached.
Catholicism holds that God gave Mary a plenitude of grace. Eastern Orthodoxy calls Mary "panagia" - "All Holy."
As the bible is the word of God we are to look to God's word not to an institution/ organization / church group . for our knowledge. You just do not find a hint that Mary was somehow different from the rest of us.
Wow! I had no idea
Finally found someone who can explain it to me like I’m five
Brothers and Sisters in Christ never listen to protestants who troll Catholic podcasts to ruin souls. God teaches us 1 Peter 5:8-11, "8 Be sober, be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking some one to devour. 9 Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experience of suffering is required of your brotherhood throughout the world. 10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, establish, and strengthen you. 11 To him be the dominion for ever and ever. Amen." The Bible is a Catholic book. It always was and always will be. God bless you all.
The Jewish Bible is somehow a Roman Catholic book ?
@@BackFromSpaceStudios Yes. All 73 books of the Old and New Testaments. God bless you.

YOU: The Bible is a Catholic book. It always was and always will be.
*ME: Nope. It was Greece that compiled the writings of the NT into One Book in the 4th century -- Greece was the Christian Center in the 4th century where Church Councils would meet and make decisions.* If anyone has the right to proclaim "we are the original Apostolic Church that compiled the Bible !!!" its the GREEK ORTHODOX, not the Roman Vatican.
And you might NOTE that the Roman Church, Greek Orthodox and Protestants all used the Textus Receptus (5000 ancient manuscripts) as the basis of their Bibles until the 1500's when the Roman Church changed the basis of their Bible (Douay Rheims) to the Alexandrian Bible which had been rejected by the Church for 1500 years. Gr Ortho and Prot still use the original Textus Receptus.
Yes. Catholic Christians, Jesus, used and guided his Catholic Church to compile under one cover the Word of God, Sacred Scripture the Holy Bible, all 73 books, 46 Old Testament books and 27 New Testament books that we still have today. Before the inspired canon was settled in 419AD by Pope Innocent I there were at least 10 different lists of books and no agreement until the matter was taken up and settled by the Catholic Church at 5 different times at different Church synods and councils including the Synod of Rome, two Councils of Carthage and Hippo between 382 and 419AD. Do not be deceived by what protestant trolls 🧌say twisting scripture, 2Pet3:16 or history and whose only purpose is to damage your faith in Jesus, his Church and ruin your souls. Read about Sacred Scripture in the Catechism, at New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia or any good Catholic page. “Do not” believe anything from heretical sources who despise Jesus and his Church. Remember Jesus came “to fulfill”, “not to abolish”, “the law and the prophets”, Mat17:20. Therefore Jesus established the one holy catholic and apostolic Catholic Church, Mat18:15-17, the universal Christian church on Peter first, Mat16:17:20, John21:15-17, then the Apostles and their successors, Mat18:18-19, Mat28:16-20. Jesus did not give any 16th century, fallible men the authority to divide his body the Church into thousands of error riddled denominations created by someone’s imagination. God bless you.
The typology of the Ark is not applied to Mary. It is clearly Christ.
It is the Ark on which the blood of atonement was shed, as Christ's--perfect sacrifice AND perfect altar--own blood was shed and lay on Him.
In the OT it is the Tabernacle and the Tent that is "overshadowed", not the Ark particularly. Which makes sense, as Mary carries the Ark of the New Covenant, Christ. The type of Mary could be argued as the tent or tabernacle. Which is a great honor no doubt, but the type of the Ark is reserved for Christ.
Finally, if the Woman of the Apocalypse is Mary, why does she "travail in the pains of Childbirth", the punishment of Eve for original sin? Either this is not Mary or this is an admission of her original sin, neither of which is compatible with the dogma of immaculate conception.
Dr. Pitre is an intelligent man, but it seems that he is only looking for the answers he wants to find.
No, the analogy described in video fits perfectly. The vessel is the ark in which are tables with old covenant placed and carried. The tables are inside and touch the ark from inside. The same for Lord Jesus - the new covenant (not only His blood is new covenant but He Himself is the new covenant). He was carried by His mother in her womb, in physical contact from inside. Tabernacle or tent did not touch the tables of old covenant. Your analogy is wrong.
@@vladimirtoth7283 Soooo.... if Mary is the Ark because Jesus indwelled her for 9 months, does that mean that Believers are now the Ark because Jesus now indwells us (John 14:23) ???
@@vladimirtoth7283 YOU: The vessel is the ark in which are tables with old covenant placed and carried. The tables are inside and touch the ark from inside.
*ME: But the most important part of the Ark that represented Jesus was the MERCY SEAT* (mercy of God toward a lost sinful world). *and the Mercy Seat was NOT INSIDE the Ark -- it was the lid or on top of the Ark.*
*JESUS himself is the Ark. Note that the Ark of GOD is POWERFUL and causes the enemies of God to have disease/plagues (1Samuel 5:9-10), and destroys the idols/false religions before its face (1Samuel 5:3-4). -- which is what JESUS will do upon his Second Coming to earth in Revelation 16 and 19.*
@@veritasmuy2407 In certain view yes, because we should be the temple of the Holy Spirit, so He can indwell in us. But analogy to Mary fits, because we are talking about history of our redemption and comparison of old and new testaments. A lot of things in old testament are as prefiguration of the later things that happened during Jesus coming (the first one). And this is one of them.
@@vladimirtoth7283 YOU: because we should be the temple of the Holy Spirit, so He can indwell in us.
*ME: I'm not talking about the Holy Spirit or the temple -- I'm talking about Jesus' claim in John 14:23 that JESUS HIMSELF will indwell Believers -- thus begs the question, are Believers now the Ark because Jesus indwells us ??*

I hope some of your Books are found in Kindle Book en E-book.
Wow

Am I wrong to think of the gold on the Ark of The Covenant as a conduit and not just a symbol of divinity?
Analogiical relationships can be taken too far. Analogies/metaphors are means to help us limited humans accept utterly unfamiliar spiritual things. It seems to me, the gold being a 'conduit' is taking it too far.
LORD Bless us All! Yeshua is my Savior.., Great knowledge I receive to you Sir!

The oldest-known text of a prayer to Mary is from around A.D. 250. It is in Greek, and calls Mary "Theotokos," which means "God-bearer." Catholics would know it from a Latin version called the "Sub tuum praesidium."
Ὑπὸ τὴν σὴν εὐσπλαγχνίαν, καταφεύγομεν, Θεοτόκε. Τὰς ἡμῶν ἱκεσίας μὴ παρίδῃς ἐν περιστάσει, ἀλλ᾽ ἐκ κινδύνων λύτρωσαι ἡμᾶς, μόνη Ἁγνή, μόνη εὐλογημένη.
Beneath your tenderness of heart, we take refuge, O bearer of God. Do not despise our petitions amidst our troubles, but rescue us from dangers, O only pure one, only blessed one.
Oh Mother Mary be a mother to us now . Amen!
