Let’s see. Take the catholic version of these verses or not? The same catholics who say you can’t get to Christ unless we go through Mary in contradiction of the Word. The same catholics who deny Jesus had brothers and sisters in contradiction of the Word? The same catholics who believe you can lose your salvation in contradiction do the Word? I could go on. I think I’ll stay with the biblical meaning of the text.
Caatholics do not believe that you have to go through Mary to get to God....Jesus did not have brothers nor sisters from Mary, He did have cousins and we all know that they were often referred to as brothers and sisters. I as a Catholic believe that I can indeed lose salvation by willingly, through my own behavior and desire, reject Christ's gift of salvation.....unless you don't believe in free will.
recognize now the folly of individuals interpreting the Bible to suit their own needs???
