When will you understand that Mary had no other children. She was a perpetual virgin and remained so as a mother to Christ.
How many times have was told you that the word “brother” in the Bible is a word used as brethren. They were not what you would call blood-brothers. Probably cousins.
Families lived together sharing a well and a fire pit. Perhaps Mary and Joseph shared a living space in a group with the real mother of James and Jude......thus they were called brethren.
When? Never. You will simply have to live with that. Mary was a sinner, and had other children. You may not agree. So be it. I can live with that. I believed that in a previous life. I don't now, but I am OK with it. Now, Heaven or Hell. That is important. I got my fire insurance paid up.
And how many times have you been told that there is a word for cousins in the Greek.....but it is not used in relation to Jesus' brothers or sisters.
With the catholic insistence on Mary remaining a virgin, they are calling Paul a liar when he notes in Galatians 1 that he met with James, brother of Jesus. The Greek indicates this was indeed the brother of Jesus.
I'll take Paul's word on this as he met the man.
In the other passages in Matthew, Mark and Luke the context of the passage clearly indicates Jesus had brothers and sisters.
HaHaHaHa...Doesn't matter how many times you say it, it will still be wrong...
How many times have YOU been told there is already a word in the scriptures for cousin...
Luk_1:36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.

HaHaHa...
I’m just wondering about this obsession that some Roman Catholics have with Mary’s virginity.
I think you’re one of those who say Mary was sinless. Is your virginity obsession directly related to your sinless obsession? Do you think that if Mary had sex with her husband, Joseph, that she would have been sinning? So, sex with Joseph was an impossibility for Mary?
I know... I know. What’s the point of asking you anything. You don’t answer my straightforward questions.
Do you equate marital sex with sin?
Why is it out of the question that Jesis had half-brothers?
Do you think that Mary’s DNA was in Jesus’ blood?
Do you have pictures or website text you can cut n’ paste to answer any of these questions?
