[A.A. Cunningham]

I've read many times that it appears Jesus had siblings.

The Blessed Virgin Mary gave birth to one child, Jesus Christ. So says Sacred Scripture.

[JohnnyM]

Matthew 1:25 - but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus.

The Scriptures state that Joseph kept her a virgin until she gave birth at which point they consummated their marriage and had sons and daughters as evidenced by the mention of Jesus' brothers and sisters in the Bible.

Jesus is a type of the Ark of the Covenant. To associate Mary with the Ark is take Glory away from Christ Jesus and to give it to Mary.

Also, Mary is not a type of Eve, for Eve is a type of the Church. Eve was the bride of Adam, just as the Church is the bride of Christ. Eve came forth from Adam's side while he was asleep, just as the Church came from Jesus' side (notice the emphasis John gives to the Blood and Water in John 19:34-35) at his crucifixion (adam's sleep). In other words, the Church came into being at the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ (type of sleep). To place Mary as Eve would be to say she is the bride of Christ. This is simply not true.

Above all else, there is no mention in the Scriptures of her "Immaculate" conception.
