God uses the word cousin when He means cousin.
The idea that Mary was a sinful wife and refused to have sex with Joseph is what is not in Scripture.
Why you insist in ignoring God's word in favor or a silly tradition just proves that you don't believe what God says.
Dave, your soul is in great peril.
I urge you again to refrain from reading the Holy Scripture till someone is there to explain it to you. Your errors in "reading" what pertains to the use of the word "brother" and spousal duties have been shown to you in detail, and with precision, by SoothingDave, Interested Questioner and myself, just recently on this thread.
God uses the word cousin when He means cousin.
Gen 14:12And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
13And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.
14And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.
So God could have said Lot was Abram's nephew, but used "brother" because God was in error when He inspired this Scripture?
Why do you even pretend to be engaging in a reasoned debate, why the farce that you are a Biblical defender when you brazenly ignore Scripture when it is posted to you.
Dave, your soul is in great peril.
I'll take that under advisement. Just as soon as you address the arguments presented in 1348, and 1602. Why do you shrink from discussing the Bible?
