"X, the son of Joseph and Mary, the mother of Jesus, who is Jesus' younger brother according to the flesh"?

God's Word is not a 1st grade reading primer like 'see Spot run'.

Incidentally, if you think Mary having other children is important for your salvation,

Mary has absolutely nothing to do with anyone's salvation. ONLY JESUS! It's ALL about JESUS! Why don't you know that, Annalex?

and you believe in Sola Scriptura

YOU BETCHA!

" ONLY JESUS! It's ALL about JESUS!"

Unfortunately, the practice of the Reformation does not match the rhetoric. Were it "ALL ABOUT JESUS" there would be far greater emphasis on the actual words and examples of Jesus instead of the misinterpretation of the words and works of those who came later to merely spread the Good News. Without the letters of Paul the Gospels would still be all that is necessary for Salvation. Without the Gospels, the letters of Paul are empty and meaningless.

No, but here you construct an elaborate theory of Mary having other children based on passages clearly not intended to communicate that. Sola Scriptura, anyone?

Mary has absolutely nothing to do with anyone's salvation. ONLY JESUS!

Truth telling is important. Telling lies is also important, even if it is about Mary and not about Jesus. The Holy Evangelists saw it fit to tell us many things about Virgin Mary and recorded many of her words. It was important to them to tell us about Mary, and I do the same in ways available to me.
