For if his mother had other children, then the birth narratives can be taken only as meaning that he was a great man or a prophet, but not the son of God, and Mary was in no sense Theotokos.

So, the miracle of the incarnation is such that Mary not only bore Jesus but that she also could bear no other children. I don't think that it follows that in order for the Incarnation to be valid that Mary must have no other children. Perhaps you would care to elaborate on your rather frank statement (and the first I have seen of this).

If you had only the Gospel of Mark, what would you say Jesus is?
