"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.

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,

If you do not believe that the Bible is the Word of God then we have no common ground to discuss issue from.

I have studied the history of the Catholic church and her actions, so I know that there is no chance at all that she is a correct body of authority.

The Word of God however is. Yet you reject it.

Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is quick, and powerful,
and sharper than any twoedged sword,
piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,
and of the joints and marrow,
and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Romans 10:17
So then faith cometh by hearing,
and hearing by the word of God.

John 12:48
He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words,
hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken,
the same shall judge him in the last day.

Matthew 12:46
¶While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.

47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.

48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
