Christians like you do not even know the Jesus Christ that you speak of. Apostasy is the reason.
Like I said, most Christians on Earth. Catholic + Orthodox + “Oriental” Orthodox= Most Christians on earth.
Like I said, the truth of something isn’t determined by the number of folks who believe it or don’t. Not trying to start any fights.

It is a profitless argument. All that matters is that Jesus was born to a virgin. It is sort of a side show to speculate about possible brothers. I don’t see that it makes a difference one way or the other.
“The only denomination that believes Mary and Joseph didn’t have children after Jesus is Roman Catholicism (actually, Eastern Orthodox might believe this too, but I don’t know enough about them).”
Just adding that this is my understanding, also. There are many, many references the Christ’s mortal siblings in the Bible, including the verses you cited and several others. James, Joses (Joseph), Simon and others, for example. Of them, James is the one most referenced, to my knowledge.
Herman is confused if he thinks Mormons believe the same as Christians.
And Romney’s religious faith is an indicator of his core values, and his ability to reason. If he can’t spot the obvious contradictions between what the Mormon self-proclaimed prophet taught and what scripture teaches then Romney is not fit to lead the country.
So Cain agrees with Romney’s policies - big gov’t. Well we, also, know that by Cain agreeing with Barry that the voters should not be allowed to see the pics of bin laden but the officials can that he’s big gov’t vs. we the people - no matter what he says! He’s already against our ‘rights’ and for romneycare!
And he has no idea that Mormonism is a cult. Cain is one clueless dude. And he bought the liberal media’s lie - I hardly doubt that voters were concerned about his religion but Cain bought the bait to become a media darling.
When will Cain be vetted? This will be repeat of barry voters - no vetting necessary - he’s the man.
You are obviously TRYING to start a fight. Have fun with your little game.
EOM. END of Thread.
Wish I could have stated that so clearly. Go Herman Cain!
I didn’t realize that my direct answers to a poster’s question could be construed as some philosophical argument. He asked what the doctrine of a particular religion was, and I answered him as best I could.
“I don’t see that it makes a difference one way or the other.”
Then there’s no further comment, is there?
Right, to my understanding most Protestants believe that Jesus had siblings. There are probably some Lutherans and some Anglicans that still believe that he didn’t, at least to my understanding. I could easily be wrong about that, though.

A politician should not engage in a theological debate. He was obviously in over his head when he wrote this.
“You are obviously TRYING to start a fight. Have fun with your little game.”
I agree with you, (s)he does appear to be attempting to trying to create an argument, and I’ll follow your lead. Thanks for pointing it out. Have a blessed day!
“You are obviously TRYING to start a fight. Have fun with your little game.”
OK then.

Moronism came out of a talking hat, and they do not believe what Christians believe.
I was trying to warn you off discussing this with that poster. He obviously has an agenda.
Understatement.
I've never seen such loathsome comments as I've seen posted here about Mormons. I don't understand it. Is it because of Romney?
Thanks!
Freegards
No, you were trying to revive the anti-Mormon discussions.
I can’t stand Mitt Romney. I just don’t trust him, but his religion doesn’t play a part in that and trying to makes it so, demeans the process.
