Your post is wrong on so many counts.

For starters Jesus did not have ANY siblings. None. If you are so stupid to think that any man would go in where the Holy Spirit went first and violate that sacred space you are deceived by Satan himself. Think about how disgusting your view of Mary is, that some mere man would violate a perpetual virgin betrothed to the Holy Spirit? Are you willing to stand before the Holy Spirit and say, “I’m okay with that, yes, that’s the way it is?” Do you really know anything at all about what you are saying? Satan hates Mary because she was humble, pure, sinless, a perpetual virgin, betrothed to God Himself. He venom has become part of the protestant traditions of men.

I think rather it is you who have made the mistake of “injecting a personal opinion into scripture and using scripture to justify your belief.”

Many books have been written on the depth of meaning in those words Jesus spoke from the Cross while He hung in agony, fighting off suffocation by standing on a nail ripping through his feet. It was at that moment, “Woman Behold Thy Son”, that the prophecy of Simeon was fulfilled.

For those who have Faith, it is abundantly clear. For those who cling to some stunted caricature of christianity, no amount of wrestling with the meaning of the Scriptures produces any fruit. Which suits satan just fine. It’s why he invented so many confused labyrinth paths to ensnare many, to keep them from finding their way to the Mystical Body, to the Sacraments, to that communion of saints that Jesus said He would be with, always, even unto the end of the world.

There’s also the little matter of matter of Mary being guilty of adultery if she slept with Joseph after giving herself to the Holy Spirit.

Mary had other children as she had normal marital relations with Joseph after she gave birth to Jesus.

There’s nothing in Scripture to support the romanticized fantasy that Mary was perpetually virgin.

The names of Jesus’ brothers are listed in Scripture. Scripture tells us that Joseph did not have sex with Mary until after she gave birth to Jesus.

What is it with Catholic mentality that thinks that sex between a husband and wife is dirty or sinful?

If Mary was betrhothed to the Holy Spirit then why didn’t the Holy Spirit tells us that in the Scripture He inspired? If she was betrothed to the Holy Spirit, then what was she doing being betrothed to Joseph? That would make her an adulterer. And if the marriage was just to provide support for her while Jesus grew up, then they were both in deception, leading others to think that they were husband and wife while she was betrothed to God.

Mary was human. She was not any more pure than anyone else, she was not sinless, she was not a perpetual virgin, and she was not betrothed to God.

THAT kind of thinking is from Satan.

Mary and the Holy Spirit did not have sexual relations...

And if they did, Mary was no longer a virgin...
