What i find with a lot of Catholics is that they do not read the Bible. Many of them are in Catholic only because it is the religion of their parents. Many do not even understand some of Catholic doctrines and so are surprised when Bible students ask probing questions. They are like why are you questioning the status quo.
Mary was a noble woman blessed by God to be mother of his only begotten Son Jesus. She was a virgin up until she gave birth to Jesus. But being a woman properly married to Joseph she had other children who are well named in the Bible - male and female. Jesus being her first, Jesus is rightly referred to as Mary's FIRSTBORN son. Luke 2:6-7. This is the undeniable truth. Dont add or take away from God's inspired word the Bible. Visit www.jw.org to learn more.
atimes ones own close relatives are also referred to as brother/sister . If you have a bible read Matthew 27:55 and Mark 15:40, Jude :1, James 1:1 you will findout whom those mention were related to Jesus. Also remember the prophecy of Ezekiel 44:1-2 . No man else can come into this earth from thesame mother.

Did any man called "Jesus " ever walk the face of this planet?

No evidence of that, except the the Bible.

No historical evidence. None.

Stop wasting your time Bible stories.

Jesus, Mithra, Osiris, Horus, etc are all man made myths designed to control the mind of man. Period.

The only religion is " Do unto others as you will have others do unto you. " period.

A Jewish man marries a wife.
A Jewish man refuses to have sex with her.
Does he have erexyile dysfunction?

Do YOU have any proof that Joseph did not have sex with Mary after the Birth of Jesus?

Yeah, are you perplexed? A Jewish man still kept a woman who became pregnant without his involvement, in his house as spouse. I won't deny you your fantasies, just know you've made no point.

Mark 15: 40: Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger (who is a disciple of Jesus) and of Joseph (which means Joses in greek), and Salome.

Going by "your scripture" are u now telling us that mary of clopas was the carpenter's second wife?



These are totally different people from the brothers of Jesus (James, Joseph, Jude, Simon)

Jude and Simon weren't mentioned as sons of Mary of Clopas neither was Salome mentioned as one of the brothers of Jesus

I'm done abeg.


Am arahia


Hahahaha @ they are totally different people. You should read scripture more often. So have you read Gal.1:19 before? But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother"

Same brothers mentioned in MK.6:3 were mentioned in MK15:40. Same Jude in MK.6:3 wrote Jude.1:1 "Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James" This same Jude was also Jesus apostle, where did you get the impression that they aren't same persons? Now we've linked three out of the four and they are Children of Mary of cleopas and not mother of Jesus. Please Kindly read Matt 27:56 and John19:25 to know who the mother of those named is.

Mark 15: 40: Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger (who is a disciple of Jesus) and of Joseph (which means Joses in greek), and Salome.

john19:25."Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene".

If you want to know who Salome is, then see Matt. 27:56 "Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.

That's all I have for you.

you won't blame them they are catholics.

Sometimes people make me laugh. Catholics compiled the bible. You are studying their book, yet you don't want to take lessons from them.

Like it or not, the Catholic church is the root of Christianity. They have the final say on all bible teachings. They personally vetted the bible. If you doubt their stance on Mary as a virgin and not having any other kids, then you better also doubt the last supper and the rest of the bible.

This is for you and other protestant Christians, that are quick to act smart.

If the Bible is INCOMPLETE as you imply why did God SEAL it at the end. Read Revelation chapter 22:18,19. Dont take away from the Bible and dont add to it. Why? Because it is a COMPLETE book inspired by God the Most High over all the earth.

Its not too late to learn this

Lol. Shey una no dey think?

When revelation was written, was there a bible?
Did it even exist?

Common sense should tell you that the phrase is referring to only the book of revelation.

Lies!!
Kindly read these 2 scriptures:

Luke 1:36 (KJV)
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.
Also see Luke 1:58.

Mark 6:3 (KJV)
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

Catholic Church teaches that Mary had no other children to justify their worship of Mary as a supernatural human. All that is idolatry.

Mary is still referred to as virgin cos she was and is still the only woman that had a child without sexual contact with a man, and she gave birth to divinity clothed with humanity. No other person has had, and will ever have an immaculate conception again.

It is because Firstborn is a reality and a title, It is used to refer to the one who opened a womb, it is conferred naturally at birth, it does not wait to be given only when you get siblings. see Ex.13:2

"Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine".

I have no reason to doubt you on those claims. But of all books that exist, there is only one that is inspired of God, the Creator of the Universe and the Most High over all the earth and that is the BIBLE. It is the book i can trust to tell the truth about where i am coming from, where i am in the stream if time and where i am going. A book that can interprete itself, that is the wonderful book, the Holy Scriptures, the Bible.

Yes, it is possible Joseph never consummated his marriage. You are trying to analyse an event that took place over 2000 years with your 21st century brain.

Matt. 1:24-25:
“Then Joseph....took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.”

Meaning...
1. Joseph consummated his marriage with Mary, but waited until Jesus was born.

2. Jesus was not the only child of Mary, he was the firstborn son.

Why not compare these scriptures:

1."Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him".(Mk6:3)

With this:

2."There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome".Mk15:40

And who is this Mary mother of James and Joses? St. John says:

"Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene". john19:25


They were not Mary's children. Scripture never said so.

Can someone see here what we are talking about? Mary the wife of Cleopas was called SISTER to Mary the mother of Jesus.
Now, no reasonable parent gives his children the same names.
If Mary the wife of Cleopas was the sister of Mary in the Biological sense, would they both bear same name - MARY?
Isn't this a clear indication that the Jews, like the Igbos of Nigeria, address their relatives as brothers and sisters?
Does the Scriptural reference to James and Joses as the brothers of Jesus enough proof that they were Mary's biological children?
Does the scripture say anywhere that they were Mary's children?

If Mary indeed gave birth to other children, where were they when Mary and Joseph took just Jesus to the Passover feast? The Scripture indicates they travelled in the company of their relatives, so, who did they leave these other children with?

1a. 1 Timothy 4:13, Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching.

Does this mean Timothy should stop teaching after Paul comes?

Does this mean Christ reign will end afterwards?
