It might lead to someone suggesting that Mary had other children (Jesus had half-brothers and possibly half-sisters)...
Such famous children of such a famous mother have names, right? Tell us there names, can you? And their descendants, they must all be very proud of their lineage, you must know the names of some of the descendants of these so famous children, right?

If they were just cousins...then why is John the Baptist so clearly defined as a cousin? And if they were close...why were not John the beloved and later Paul...not called brothers?
Your faith is rigid...is it alive or just a formula?
I say this out of love.

Can you imagine how these lines, if records had been kept, would be 'venerated' or whatever by some today? By the grace of God we don't know their names and their history (if any great...great nieces/nephews of Jesus are alive). Obviously first century Christians knew that it was all about Jesus, the fact that some were 'mother/brother/sisters' meant nothing special to them - they needed a savior.
