[RnMomof7]

I believe Jesus was Mary’s only child. Jesus went to Jerusalem and stayed there until Mary and Joseph returned and hear him speaking. Jesus returned with them and was subject to them. No one else is mentioned. Mary is at the Cross. No other family mentioned. It is a fiction to now read into the life of Jesus that he had sibling. That is what I believe. Others won’t convince me otherwise.

Scripture speaks of the other children, the siblings of Jesus . Reading the bible clears up questions like this

No one who's paying attention to the topic (and to the comments already given) could say such a thing reasonably. For instance: could you show me where Scripture uses the word "siblings" (or is that RnMomof7's word)? And can you show me where Scripture says that these are children of Mary, the Mother of Jesus (or is that RnMomof7's attempt to deduce a conclusion, above and beyond the text itself)? Chapter and verse, please... and, for the sake of brevity, please don't include mere repetition of references to "brethren, brothers, sisters, etc., of the Lord"... since the DEFINITION and INTERPRETATION of those terms is precisely what we're trying to discern, here.

As the saying goes: repeating an opinion does not make it a fact.
