It would have disproved the Catholic teaching if the questions were:

Is not this the carpenter’s son? Are not His brothers called James and Joseph and Simon and Judas, and THEIR mother called Mary? And His sisters, HIS MOTHER’S DAUGHTERS, are they not all with us?

But as it is written, Mary is only identified as the mother of Jesus. Scripture alone can neither prove nor disprove the Catholic teaching.

The Word does not say Trinity anywhere yet we believe the Word teaches the Trinity. Why? Because of context.

The context of the passages involving the family of Christ tell us Joseph and Mary, much to the apparent chagrin and horror of catholicism, had other children.

I know that upsets the applecart in Rome but it is very clear from the Word they did.

It may lesson Mary in the eyes of Roman Catholicism, but not anywhere else.

It never ceases to amaze that catholics will not allow the Word to interpret itself.

Context is key to understanding the Word along with the original languages.

The magicsteeringthem has made a demi-goddess out of The Mother of Jesus. Those vipers after 250 AD and prior to 1632 went so far as to change the scriptures to help with the great lie, all the way back in Genesis 3. The entire of maridolatry is a fabrication aimed at empowering catholiciism.

If it were founded in truth, with the importance catholiciism places in such fantasy, the Apostles would have made sure we knew of it or at the very least one of their direct students would have done so. Not one shred of teaching prior to the late 200's exists for this idolatry of Mary. NOTHING from the Apostles or their direct students who were taught by them exists to support this idolatry. So, it is not me who has a problem.

Until catholics stop purposely conflating the Spiritual Church Jesus is still building, from the man-made magicsteeringthem church , the spiritual things of God will not be discerned by such as yourself. But satan will tickle the ears repeatedly, to keep a person from awakening to the Truth of the Gospel of Grace not works. I cannot wish you good luck with that.

In His 13th year; Jesus was taken to Mars; to learn of Astrology.
