Dave, you have ignored clear Scripture saying that Mary and Joseph had sex, and the Greek behind that.
So don't send me melodramatic posts asking me if I am proud of myself for "ignoring" Scripture.
Not to mention the fact that you have ignored all the other Scripture saying that Jesus had siblings.
Don't be ridiculous. You have steadfastly refused to engage in a discussion about what the words could mean.
I repeat for the third time. Can you answer?
Is there any possiblity whatsoever, in your own understanding of your own understanding, that you could be mistaken? Or have you reached fallibility in this area based upon the plain English meaning of words? Can your mind perceive the distinction between what you think a passage means and what the author of the passage actually meant to convey?
So don't send me melodramatic posts asking me if I am proud of myself for "ignoring" Scripture.
I guess self-awareness is just something that happens to other people, eh?
Not to mention the fact that you have ignored all the other Scripture saying that Jesus had siblings.
No. You have ignored any evidence presented that the word you take to mean "co-uteral sibling" can have a broader meaning.
