You sure? Anyway I don't read the Bible often, so you may be right.

I am very right. I have both scriptural backing and that of early church leaders including Protestant fathers.

Let’s Assume (while not conceding) that those were his cousins, not Mary’s children.

Question is: Did Joseph have Sex with Mary AFTER the Birth of her first child?

Do you have any proof that he did?

Not at all. It was written that he never met Mary ever after or before.

The issue of brothers of Jesus came from the inability of the Jews not being able to differentiate between brothers,cousin and step brothers.
But the Roman Catholic where able to go deep down the history and culture lane of the Jews were they found out that those being called the brothers of Jesus were actually is cousins, as there was no name to for cousin in Hebrew back then.
So Jesus had cousin brothers only.

You are not correct. At Luke chapter 1:36, the Bible refers to Elizabeth as Mary's COUSIN. If those male mentioned as BROTHERS of Jesus, the Bible would have indicated so. They were children of Joseph by Mary the mother of Jesus.

If Jesus actually had brothers, how about His sisters?Because the people asked a thoughtful question, Are His brothers and sisters not here with us?

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.
Stop being dogmatic sir , Mary had other children apart from Jesus, it was mentioned in the Bible and it doesn't in any way makes mary a lesser woman of virtue accordingly. It is the catholic church that is trying to distort history in a bid to project a "virgin mary" she was a virgin tikl birth of jesus, however they continued their lives after his birth.

Mary had no biological child of hers even jesus was a mystery to mankind. She remained a virgin til death. Those you heard mentioned were jesus cousins but due to translation of the Bible and time this has been misunderstood.
Most of the Bible quotations were written in Idiom as at then this have led to lots of scholars rewriting the Bible over and over again to make people understand.
And not all that happened those day was covered in the Bible. You can take ur time to research the truth through other means don't wait for ur pastor to tell u what he believes. Jesus remains the only child of MARY. And Joseph never consummated that marriage. Therefore she remained a virgin all her life.

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

My brethren in christ, all of the references sighted in the answers referred to those people as the Lord's brethren just like you are my brethren even without any blood relation. The only tool of confusion here is the English Language. Please dont be deceived, The blessed Virgin Mary is not a prostitute and Joseph isnt a womanizer. If a fellow agrees that his wife would conceive through the Holy spirit, will thesame fellow not be willing to let her remain a virgin forever. Lets not forget that Joseph had been willing to send Mary away secretly just to cover her from shame but for the dream revelation.

If you get to heaven, you will know that the issue of consumating marriage or not is not as important as we have taken it in our present day world. For further knowledge on this, you may read "The Lost Books of the Bible". But until then lets us keep watching and praying until the arrival of the bridegroom. May he meet us as the 10 wise virgins.(AMEN)

Who is taking you to heaven? And why?

then how can someone who didn't consort with a man nor had any contact with a man's semen conceive? if God can make Mary conceive without the interference of a man then why can't u reason also he can make the hymen of d woman remain intact during n after birth? truth is most of u pentecostals ain't knowledgeable in the language of the Jews of Jesus' time-- Aramaic. go and Google the Church fathers' view about Mary's perpetual virginity. the perpetual virginity of Mary predates the canonicity of the new testament...even the Protestant reformers like Martin Luther and John Calvin believe this sacred truth...

Am no Pentecostal....and I can't believe something like that....because martin Luther or john Calvin and church fathers blvd it.....the truth is Mary was not a virgin and the holy spirit didn't make her conceive....all this all fictional.....

Mary never had any other child apart from the LORD that he bore through the power of the Holy Spirit. Neither did Joseph sex her till he departed, so Mary came a virgin, gave birth a virgin and departed a virgin. Joseph was vast in age when Mary was given to him and he had other children from his previous wives who departed before Mary came in, thanks.

Aleis:

Mary has no child apart from Jesus, that is why she still refer as Virgin.
IN the Hebrew, there is no clear distinction BTW cousins, brother and sons. Those u see mentioned, are his cousins not brothers.
Luke 2:6-7
'And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
verse 7 'And she brought forth her FIRSTBORN SON, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn'.

It is Catholics that claim she never had other child. Because the consider her as a saint. That is why they idolize her, praying to Jesus through her.
They believe she remained a virgin through out her life. Which is wrong.

kolafolabi:
Mary had four other sons, Joseph, James, Jude, and Simon. Because of the virgin birth, Joseph was not the father of Jesus so these were the half brothers of Jesus. The last three mentioned are not to be confused with those who were disciples of Jesus by the same name. Here are some passages where the other sons of Mary by Joseph are mentioned (Matt. 12:46; 13:55; Mark 6:3; John 2:12; 7:3, 5, 10; Acts 1:14; 1 Cor. 9:5; Gal. 1:19).
