[OLD REGGIE]

What others thought about Jesus’s family does not prove they were biological children on Mary, but merely that they were from the same household. Further, the word “brother” in antuique usage is not limited to chidlren of the same parents; see for example Lot and Abraham are said to be “brothers”

The art of misdirection works only with the "innocent". I have learned to expect a change of subject when the "apologist" is confronted with an apparent contradiction. May we return to your claim concerniing a "brother" of Jesus and his mother being named?

(annalex) "She did not have any other children. "Brothers" of Christ are indeed mentioned, but, curious thing, every time a "brother" of Jesus is mentioned by name, his mother also is mentioned and she is not Mary."

MATTHEW - NAB
13:55 Is he not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother named Mary and his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?

As Bill O'Reilly would say "tell me where I am going wrong"? It appears to me that "brother" and his mother "Mary" are mentioned in the same verse. Where is my error? Were the people thinking of another carpenter's son?

"She did not have any other children. "Brothers" of Christ are indeed mentioned, but, curious thing, every time a "brother" of Jesus is mentioned by name, his mother also is mentioned and she is not Mary."

Your own words have proven you wrong.

MATTHEW - NAB 13:55 Is He not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother named Mary and his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?

2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,

You are not using the tool provided to 'correct or train' which IT is designed to do . You are determined for the Vatican/RCC to be right - give it up - IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!

Living in deception because of pride is ugly and has ETERNAL consequences. Obviously, Catholics don't believe that either.

It is about the fourth time you ask this question. If you still need the answer, ask. Hint: Mark 15, — different Mary.
