Are you saying that there are no Scriptures that show Mary had other children?

Are you, also, agreeing with the Vatican teaching she was born without original sin?

I am saying that it is not certain, since the terms can mean cousins or half-brothers, i.e., children of Joseph, not Mary. If one goes back into the long, long history exegesis, pre-Romanist and Reformation era included, this was the nearly unanimous belief ... again, whether you like it or not. All else that Rome has done with Mary is another matter altogether.

No. That is contrary to Scripture, explicitly.

In both cases Scripture and Scripture alone remains the sole norm for Christian doctrine. Clear?
