No. They had no relationship UNTIL Jesus was born. And Jesus was Mary's FIRSTBORN Son. Is it that hard to follow?

Mary had several children. One was a child by God. The others were by Joseph.

Oh, because you SAY it happened that way, I must be daft to disagree with you, despite people living much closer to the event then us have told us that Mary did NOT give birth to anyone else but Jesus Christ. Sorry, but your proclamations are not going to change my mind. This is obviously one of your "traditions of men", because the Bible doesn't make a mention of "children of Mary".

The best you can do from Scripture alone is to leave the matter unresolved. Not your definitive answer "Mary had other children".

Regards

I didn't say it. The GREEK says it. Argue with Luke. Not me.
