Frequently Asked Questions

ST. MARY

Is it necessary for the Orthodox Church to honor the Virgin so much that some people seem to have more of a dedication to her than to Christ?
Can the Mother of God save us?
There is no evidence anywhere in Scripture that Joseph was old when he married Mary, that he was previously married, or that he had children from a previous marriage. We should not therefore adjust our theology to satisfy our image of what we perceive, rather than what was and is the truth in Scripture. Our objective should be to present the truth as the Scriptures show it and not as individuals wish to interpret it.
The Bible also says that Jesus was Mary's first born son. If this is so, then there must have been other children that followed as indicated in Matthew 13:55: "Is this not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary, and his brethren James and Joses and Simon and Judas, and his sisters, are they not all with us?"
