Gruel so thin it can’t fill a spoon.
Christ had biological siblings - resulting from sex between Joseph and Mary.
Exactly how God designed marriage and commanded couples to “be fruitful and multiply.” He gave married couples the gift of pleasurable sex, the bounty of children, and He says to them in inspired Scripture, “imbibe deeply, o lovers.”
It wasnt until blessed Mary was made into a demigoddess that this other kind of nonsense arose.
thank goodness you backed that up with unimpeachable biblical texts that specifically say she had sex with Joseph, and names the biological siblings and proves beyond a doubt, from the bible alone, since that is what you believe in, that they had sex, unlike the historical teaching from those who were there and knew the real story.
It's really amazing how you guys insist you have to have clear, direct Biblical warrant for everything, and then you turn something like this into some sort of brand-spanking-new essential of the Christian faith.
There's not a trace of clear, direct Biblical warrant for it -- not a scintilla of a particle of a verse in the NT which says that anyone (except Jesus) is a biological child of Mary. (And substantial evidence to debunk it, at that.) Yet you exalt it into some kind of litmus test of correct doctrine. On what basis, since it flunks your own test?
But wait, it gets better. You guys never hesitate to cite St. Jerome as your authority against the OT deuterocanon (the so-called "apocrypha"), but you never, ever quote the (admittedly nasty) stuff he said against Helvidius on the subject of Mary having other children. Why is the cherry-picking?
Jerome, Luther, Calvin, and Zwingli all agreed with us on this topic, and disagreed with you. Did they make Mary a "demigoddess" [sic] too?
Did you read the original post? It discounts your theory.
