Do you dare to disagree with the Holy Spirit on this matter?
Another listing, inspired by the Holy Spirit, found in the Sacred Scriptures...
Mark 3:31-32
31 And his mother and his brethren came; and standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
32 And the multitude sat about him; and they say to him: Behold thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.
Do you dare to disagree with the Holy Spirit on this matter of Jesus having BROTHERS?
I was merely pointing out where two of these supposed siblings of Jesus Christ were literally identified as the sons of Alpheus, who was not the husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary. I think it is pretty straight forward to those who can read.
No where will you find in the Sacred Scriptures that the listed male cousins of Jesus were the “sons” of Mary or Joseph.
“Brethren”, “brothers”, “sisters”, “kinsmen”, they all convey the same concept.
Catholics have always gotten this right for 2000 years, along with our Orthodox brothers in Christ. When questions came up, Councils were convened, questions were answered. Even the See of Peter has had to weigh in a few times as well.
This is the beauty of belonging to the Mystical Body of Christ, having the continuity of scripture, tradition, and a teaching authority. It is really nice.
I really look forward to meeting Jesus” extended family, all those male and female cousins that protestants have elevated to sibling status, I am sure they get razzed about it by the Holy Family.
