Mary had more Children (con't)
Names of four other brothers were mentioned in
Matthew
13:55: "Is not this the carpenters son? Is not
His mother
called Mary? and His
brethren, James, and
Joses, and
Simon, and Judas? The words "and"
prior
to each
name
mentioned makes the statement definite.
Jesus had
four definite step brothers who were Mary's.
Matthew 13:55 mentions that He also has sisters: "And
his sisters, are they not all
with us?"
Matthew 1:24 says, "Then Joseph being raised from sleep
did
as the angel of the Lord
had bidden him and took unto
him his
wife and knew her not till she had brought forth
her
firstborn
son." In other words, Joseph did not have sex with
Mary till Jesus was
born.
She reared seven other children. The
idea that Joseph kept Mary
a virgin is unscriptural.
Mary was a good woman that God selected to bear His son Jesus. People
should not place
in the same position as Jesus. Mary, as the supposed "Mother of God," is so wrongly
phrased. Mary is the "mother of the Son
of God" not the "Mother of God." God, the
heavenly father does not
have a mother.
