"It is the Sophistry approach to the Bible that chooses it's own wisdom over the Scriptures."

Yes, I understand that's your approach but I wasn't going to use the word. have a nice day

What a bunch of Sophistry to say the the plain Scriptures regarding this is not true.

I wonder what Mary would say about not having son’s by the names of James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?

See, Scriptures are only of use to some folks when they agree with their preconceptions. That's the very epitome of Sophistry, to claim the Scripture is the final arbiter until confronted with Scripture at which point it turns into your own personal interpretation of Scripture. YOPIOS

have a nice day

No.

My assertions stand about those verses.

In the context of the whole of Scripture and in the context of the culture and mindsets of the culture . . .

the verses make no sense

unless they are referring as fair-minded translators accurately depict—

about Christ’s blood half brothers and sisters by the authentic Mary.

I'm convinced that the following is some of what Mary would say to the mortal world:

Mary’s unique glorified ‘enhousement’ of Holy Spirit is no more special than that of all those Heaven residing obedient to The Lord.

[HERE'S A MUCH MORE BIBLICAL

DESCRIPTION OF MARY IN HEAVEN]:



.




Prepare to meet your God!
The Kingdoms of Heaven & Hell,
and the Return of CHRIST
by Angelica Zambrano


aka.23 Hours Dead


[section below is the last approximately 20% portion of the whole narrative posted at my blog]:

http://daaixin.wordpress.com/heavenly-visitations-heavenly-visits/

Then he started showing me women.  He told me, “Daughter, “that woman that you see there is my servant, Mary Magdalene; my servant, Sara,” and suddenly He told me,” Daughter, she is Mary, Mary, who gave birth to Jesus Christ, Who I am.” “Daughter, I want to tell you that she has no knowledge of anything that exists on Earth.  I want to tell you that you must go and tell humanity, tell idol worshippers that hell is real and that idolaters will not inherit my kingdom, but go and tell them that if they repent, they can enter my heavenly dwelling place. 


Go tell them that I love them and tell them that Mary has no knowledge of anything and the only One that they must exalt is me, because neither Mary, nor St.  Gregory nor any other saint can offer salvation.  I am the only One who saves and outside of me – nobody, nobody, nobody- saves!” He repeated it three times – that nobody could save; only He saves. 

Humanity has been deceived believing in an assumed saint, which is not, but is a demon working through that idol made by the hand of man.  But, let me tell you that the Lord wants to give you the best.  He wants you to enter the Kingdom of Heaven; to repent and to leave idolatry to the side because idolatry will not save you.  He who saves is Jesus Christ of Nazareth, who gave his life for you, for me and for all humanity.  The Lord has a great message for humanity. 

As He wept, He told me, “Please, Daughter, do no be silent; go and tell the truth, go and tell what I have shown you.” I then saw how Mary worshipped the Lord and I could see those women with very beautiful hair, long hair and I told the Lord, “Lord, how pretty the way they wear their hair.” He told me, “Daughter, that which you see is the veil that I have given to a woman.” He added, “Daughter, go and tell women to take care of the veil that I have given them.”

Visions of the Rapture, Tribulation, the Holy City, & the Thrones of GOD and satan.

The testimony of an 8 year old girl who encountered Jesus Christ.

(Jannet Balderas Canela)

. . .

It was so beautiful; the presence of the Lord could be felt there, such glory and majesty! The Lord said, “Servant, come here because I will show you other things.” We arrive at a place with many beautiful doors, so many beautiful doors. I said, “Lord what’s behind those doors?” He said,

3 “Behind these doors are My disciples, behind these doors are My apostles, behind these doors are all those who once walked over the Earth praising and glorifying My Name.” -

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . MARY . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

We began to ride again and arrive at a door that was half-opened, and the Lord said,

“Servant come here, come here because behind this door is Mary. Get close and hear what she is saying, so you can go and tell My people, so you can tell the people how Mary is suffering.”

I got closer and saw a young lady, such a beautiful young lady, so beautiful, her face was so pretty. She was looking through a very tiny window. She was kneeling down and looking to the face of the Earth, crying with tremendous pain.

She said, “Why are you worshiping me? Why, if I do not have any power! Why are you worshiping me? I do not do anything! Do not worship me! Do not bow before me! For I cannot save you! The only one that can save, the only one that can redeem you is Jesus, who died for all mankind!

Many people say that I have power, that I can perform miracles, but that is a lie! I do not do anything! Almighty God was satisfied with me and He used my womb so that Jesus could be born and save everyone, but I don’t have any power.

I cannot do anything! Do not bow before me! Do not worship me! For I am not worthy of worship. The only one that is worthy, the only one that you bow before and adore is Jesus! He is the only one that heals and saves!”

I could see how that young lady was in such tremendous pain, full of anguish and crying. She said, “No! No! Do not worship me! Why do you bow before me? I don’t do anything!”

You see dear brothers, it was a tremendous thing to look at this young lady, how she was crying with such pain and sadness.

Depends, I've seen stranger things than people defending one position one day and the exact opposite the next when they are disciples of the YOPIOS approach. So, I have no idea what you'll defend tomorrow or the day after, nor, I contend, do you. Someone may have an new book or mp3 sermon you hear and you'll change your opinion of how Scripture should be interpreted at the drop of a hat. That's the way it goes when you're making it all up to suit your own preconceptions.

Yes, that is correct. When one takes an others "infallibility" as doctrine over reaped Scripture.

Well DUH! Of course she did. After Jesus’ virgin birth, Joseph fathered children with her. The fact that Jesus had brothers and sisters who were obviously the offspring of Mary and Joseph does not in any way take away from Jesus’ identity.

(It doesn’t hurt to read the Bible. Really.)

I don't argue that the verse you quote isn't true, I am just telling you the fact that it doesn't prove what you think it proves. Yes, it's the Word of God and in no way is it incorrect. It just does not prove that those persons were brothers to Jesus Christ in the way we accept and use the word brother.

Now, where does that rely on anything but Scripture? It doesn't it simply states a fact about the way the Scripture was written in the original language and the way words were defined at that time. Since I do not see how Scripture can answer the question clearly one way or another I believe the testimony of witnesses as that testimony has been handed down for several thousand years the same exact way Scriptures were handed down prior to being written out and combined into the Bible. If you want to start a topic regarding who may and may not be infallible, fine, but it in no way relates to the question at issue in any way, shape, or form. Infallibility of Scripture isn't an issue, either, only your interpretation in the face of Scriptures that contradict your personal interpretation is at issue.

have a nice day
