Truth Versus Tradition: Were Joseph and Mary Poor?

Ken Brown | December 4, 2009

Tradition can be a subtle thing. We grow up believing something about a Biblical doctrine or event. It might never even occur to us to question where some particular belief came from, especially if that belief happens to be regarding some relatively minor point. I think the financial status of Joseph and Mary is a matter like that for many Christians.

It is a commonly held belief that the mother and “stepfather” of our Lord Jesus Christ were poor, but where does this belief come from?

Truth Versus Tradition

Ken Brown | October 31, 2009

God’s Word is truth. In life, one must eventually choose what he holds to be the standard for what is and what is not truth when it comes to the things of God. I choose God’s Word, the Bible (as originally written). Everyone eventually makes a choice. Choose wisely.
