The phrase “Jesus’ mother and brothers” is used in Matthew 12:46, Mark 3:31, Luke 8:19, Acts 1:14, and John 2:12. He is given advice about his disciples by his brothers in John 7:3.
Matthew 13:55 names the brothers as James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas.
Matthew 13:56 refers to Jesus’ sisters, but does not name them.
Another argument against Mary being a perpetual virgin is this verse: “But he (Joseph) had no union with her (Mary) UNTIL she gave birth to a son. And he gave Him the name Jesus” (Matthew 1:25).
Many bible verses refer to brethern, brothers, etc. It does not by necessity imply blood relation.
Further, the statement about “no union with her until she gave birth to a son” makes a specific statement only about the time before His birth, but is silent as to the time afterward. Drawing an insinuation from that is speculation and extrapolation.
Never fear . . .
The facts of those verses are
escaped by their Rubber Bible’s contorting and twisting all aroud those verses without ever touching the TRUTH of them.
