I admire your zeal and passion for religion, that is a tremendous gift.

When God wants to use the word "cousin" He does.

There is no reason given in any of Scripture that Mary was not a good wife and that she did not have sex with Joseph.

"It's not for "relegion." It's for the Lord Jesus Christ against a bunch of catholics who would rather call Jesus a sinner than admit that the Word of God clearly shows that Jesus Christ had brothers and sisters."

Perhaps rather than compliment you on your zeal and your passion for your religion, I should have written that I respect your passion for your faith in Jesus Christ, which is the respect that I had hoped to convey to you.

"God uses the word cousin when He means cousin."

Full Court, the person using the word here is not God, it's the translator. He/she is translating a word that does not have an exact equivalent in English. In my reading of the Scripture, it appears that the word being translated into English as brother and sister is an approximation. There appears to have been some wiggle room in the original language for the type of relation being denoted. They just weren't being as specific as we are in English, they have a word who's range of meaning includes brother but also includes other relations besides brother.

"It's not for "relegion." It's for the Lord Jesus Christ against a bunch of catholics who would rather call Jesus a sinner than admit that the Word of God clearly shows that Jesus Christ had brothers and sisters."

If I'm understanding you correctly, Full Court, the question here isn't so much whether Jesus had brothers; it's whether Mary had other children. Can you identify the individuals that you believe to have been Mary's children?

Kind Regards,

Knowing that you are not an ignorant person, I will have to kindly ask you to retract your intentionally false (i.e., a lie) statement that indicates that Catholics call Jesus a sinner.

You know darned well that the point being made was that Jesus had no brothers or sister because if He did, He would have been committing a sin by handing over care of His mother to John, a non-relative. Of course, we Catholics believe Christ was never a sinner of any sort, hence, He could not have had brothers and sisters.

Might I add, you are providing an extremely poor Christian witness to others (not just us hardcore Catholics) if you have to resort to distortions and perversions of the truth.
