To: OLD REGGIE; Full Court
Let's be reasonable. Full Court cannot prove from Scripture that Mary had other children any more than you can prove she did not have other children.

Thanks, Reggie, for agreeing with me. You should know that I've not committed myself to the man-made tradition of sola scriptura.

From scripture I can't prove Mary had no other children, just like Full Court can't prove Mary did. The scripture is silent on this fact, which is what we've been claiming all along. To make a claim using scripture only about Mary giving birth to children other than Jesus, or not, one way or the other, requires assumptions to be made.

Don't get carried away because I agree with you on some points. :-) I have the advantage (disadvantage?) of not being dogmatically committed to any single point of view.

You do agree, don't you, that your view is also based on a man made tradition?

BTW, there are as many definitions of "Sola Scriptura" as there is of "Protestant". For my edification would you kindly tell me the definition you are working with.
