“Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.”
Mark 3:31
Must be nice when you can pick and choose from the Bible which passages you believe in, which ones you don’t, and then make up other things which simply aren’t there.
Be prepared for some lengthy circular arguments to SHOW that your chosen religion is, if not WRONG, then mistaken in what it thinks it knows.
Must be nice when you can pick and choose from the Bible which passages you believe in, which ones you don't ...
What a bizarre comment. You say I "pick and choose from the Bible which passages [I] believe in" and quote a section from Mark which I have never suggested is anything but absolutely true. The Lord's Mother and brothers were outside waiting for him, and somebody went in and told him they were there. What about it? I haven't denied it and it seems very strange for you to just quote a random verse and then say somebody is denying it, or at least imply that.
... and then make up other things which simply aren't there.
This is also odd. Let me ask you this, do you believe this verse: But there are also many other things which Jesus did; which, if they were written every one, the world itself, I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written. St. John 21.25 If you do how then do you assert that nothing can be known or believed that is not in the Bible? Among the many things believed by Christians it has never been thought that the Bible was exhaustive and contained all that God has ever done in the world.
Of particular interest to me is the fact that nowhere in the Bible does it actually say that only what is in the Bible is true. Nowhere is it explicitly written that we are required to reject any teaching or tradition which is not explicitly contained in that text. If this is your contention then it would appear that it is you who are making things up which aren't in the Bible.
