By your own confession then, the vast majority [by that one doc alone70-90+%] of professing Roman Catholics et al are farces regarding their pseudo-Christianity.That is not really what I said, but thae fact remains that there was about a 20 year period when some Catholics began to act like the Puedo Christians in the prot churchs more concerned about "Feeling the spirit" and enjoying the music and fellowship and pretending to have a "relationship with Jesus."
And due to the poor cathechiesis they forgot that Catholics (And the Orthodox) are the only ones that have a real relationship with Jesus through the Real Presence.
Make sure you save that as part of the thread too.

But does the fact that Jesus' siblings are named prove God's word is true?
I'll wait while you call the priest.
To: Quix
Really? And those translations have passages that say that Mary bore children other than Jesus?

No need to call a priest.
Where does it say these brothers/sisters are born of Mary?

You probably know those verses as well as the rest of us.
I have no big need to contribute to further denial on y’all’s part.

I just gave you the Scripture which states that Mary had more children and you rejected that Scripture.
Where does the Bible say that Joseph had more than one wife or had girlfriends?
If he didn't have any wife other than Mary, and he didn't mess around on Mary, and Mary didn't have any other children, then Joseph must have given birth to Jesus' siblings himself.
Whew! Talk about twisting yourself into pretzels. It's just so much easier to believe Scripture as God wrote it!
To: Jvette
The word you are referring to in other credible translations is “before”, rather than “until”.
It does make a difference.

The word until clearly indicates that Joseph and Mary did have sexual union after Jesus was born. Joseph and Mary had several children together after Jesus was born. 2 Sam 6:23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child until the day of her death. Exactly how many children did she have After the day of her death
Matthew 28:20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. 13 And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age." So jesus will not be with us after the end of the age
1 Cor 15:25For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. So Jesus will not reign after His enemeis are under his feet?
You might want to re-think that whole "Until theory" of yours because from where I sit it is not going your way.

Learning I was one with God and God was Absolute Goodness, which was inherent in me, made sense. Can't have any of that icky 'original sin' and stuff ...

Right.
Where did Jesus' siblings come from?
To: Jvette; Quix
See post 92, to disprove that whole “Until” thing, not that the prots will beleive their own bibles

Who gave birth to Jesus’ siblings?
To: Quix
“A bunch of bureaucratic political power mongers founded the Roman Catholic et al organization several hundred years later”
Historically incorrect.
Hope you have a Blessed Easter.
To: All
The fallen and depraved spirit of the ENEMY is strong on this thread; the stench of sulfur is unbearable.
May God rebuke you, Satan! In the Most Holy Name of Jesus, the Risen Lord, begone!

No, you gave me Scriptures that said that St. Joseph did not have sexual relations with Mary. It was important to emphasize that St. Joseph was not the father of Jesus, but rather Jesus' father is the Holy Spirit. Main Entry: 1un·til Pronunciation: \ən-ˈtil, -ˈtel; ˈən-ˌ, -təl\ Function: preposition Etymology: Middle English, from un- (probably from Old Norse *und up to; akin to Old Norse unz up to, until, Old High German unt, Old English ende end) + til, till till Date: 13th century 1 chiefly Scottish : to 2 used as a function word to indicate continuance (as of an action or condition) to a specified time 3 : before 2 The use of that word does not indicate that there were children born to St. Joseph and Mary following the birth of Jesus.
