shadeyinka:
When you read in context, the two scriptures can mean nothing other than the blood brothers of Jesus (son of Mary and Joseph).

James was a very common name in Israel and the fact that sisters were mentioned excuses the apostles/disciples.


Paul writing in Galatians sad that he did not see any of the apostles (he mentioned Peter by name, NOT as on of the Lords brothers) but specifically he mentioned James the Lords brother (different from the class of Peter).

James obviously believed in Jesus after His resurrection and was one of the leaders of the early church.



Scriptures are documents written with the inspiration of God for the edification, teaching, warning and admonition of the elect of God. However, not just any of such are classed as scriptures.

shadeyinka:
Mat 13:55-56
55 “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary, and aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? 56 Aren’t all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?”


Mark 6:3
3 “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.”

The two scriptures above are self explanatory isn't it.
4 Brothers and at least 2 sisters.

shadeyinka:
If I do, will you change your mind about Marys perpetual virginity?

shadeyinka:
Just a few questions.

1. Do you know that Jesus had brothers and sisters (at least two of His younger brothers were named in the scriptures)?

2. If Mary had other siblings, were they also immaculately conceived? (I.e. Joseph never ever slept with Mary)?

3. Is there any scriptural evidence to suggest the perpetual virginity of Mary?

4. Suppose I say that Joseph was perpetually a virgin, would you agree?

I wish other Catholics will clear these questions above.

It seems as if I have to beg for everything a normal person has in life.
I am tired of the life I am living. Imagine praying for something you are not suppose to pray for, for 3 years and still no answer.
Why God has chosen to make my life like this, is what I can not understand.

Hahahaha, it's not yours to declare that of yourself, which priest viewed and pronounced it, because it is said thus : "then the priest shall look; and, behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: it is all turned white : he is clean". Lev.13:13


Good morning brethren, a splendid day ahead to all.

DarkRebel101:
Today is the feast day of Christ The King – a celebration which marks the end of the church's liturgical calendar, and yet there's not a single thread about it on Nairaland.

This forum is a colossal DISGRACE - alongside its moderators.
