It is interesting that when I suggested a reason for the Bible to refer to ‘the sons of Alpheus’ and names James and John as brothers of Jesus, my suggestion -NOT FOUND IN THE BIBLE- is rejected because it is not in the Bible yet many of the dogmas of catholiciism are not found in the Bible either! [Mary could have had a second husband and children by him if Joseph died while Mary was still of child bearing age.]
Certainly could have...And that would be more legitimate than any thing the Catholic religion came up with...She could have had 4 more husbands and THAT would be more believable than she had no other children because she had a herd of children, according to the words of God...
There is no good or acceptable reason for non Catholic Christians not to believe the inspired words of God...
