On this hand of FR RF, there are the believers in the Jesus of Nazareth as revealed in the Bible. On the other hand are wishful-but-carnal believers who don’t hesitate to question the Written Word (the Bible) and form their own independent opinions, or choose to honor their sects’ traditions above the Bible as regarding Jesus and what the Bible has revealed about Him to the sheep of HIS pastures.

I used to fall in the second category. Until I ran smack dab into the Way, the Truth, and the Life and could no longer downplay or alter His written Word. That was because I had changed my mind utterly and died to myself as lord that day in order to be born of the Spirit Who goes wherever He wills and Who wrote the Bible utilizing various willing men led perfectly by the Spirit of God. But you probably know how the Born Again tend to see Biblical things differently than the rest of humanity.

Actually i except the Bible only unless i need to go search for something that the Bible does not tell me.

And i usually take that with a grain of salt.

Do you also believe God chose the Catholic Church to put the scriptures together to provide the Bible.

That is exactly what happened.

I did read it and do not except it..

I do not base my belief on my bias for or against any particular religion.

The scriptures for or against Mary having other children pretty much balances out until i read john 19:26

When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

Jesus would have no authority to do any such thing if he was not her only child and his siblings would not have excepted it if he had any..

Jesus was Mary`s only child.
