Paul, I think you are setting the bar far too high! Going by, albeit, 30 year old statistics, 80% of Roman Catholics have an average of only grade one education, and live south of the equator. In recent years, in countries like Brazil, the Roman Catholic church is pretty much dead, as former...

Right on the mark Pearl. That’s what the Bible says, and I am content with embracing what God has declared over the centuries. Satan’s transparent plan hasn’t changed in 6000 years! Same ole’ nonsense! “Did God really say that??” Yup God really said that, and I believe God!

I read Gill's take on this, but I tend to stick with the simple history: James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas lineup as revealed in Matt and Mark. What astonishes me, is the list of names who were not present at the cross.

" James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James, to whom He gave the name Boanerges, that is, “Sons of Thunder” Mark 3:17

My thoughts exactly!!

I agree! Waste of time discussing this with someone who has rejected truth in favour of blindness.

No!! The fact that Mary had other children, is a historical fact recorded many places in Scripture

That sounds like a prayer utilized by RCC in communicating with their goddess. Grailhunter, >> "Find a Catholic document that calls Mary – Miriam a Goddess." Each after it's own kind. What else would you call the Mother of God?? Actually, she places herself above God. She tells her priests to...

That sounds like a prayer utilized by RCC in communicating with their goddess. But she is not the only dead person Catholics pray to. But this practice of course is not Christian, it is a pagan practice tossed into the face of God, who says HE detests those who invoke the dead" "When you enter...

I know the feeling. I have a 5 year head start on you. I am 77! <giggle>

Indeed, Sola Scriptura was the gold/God standard that has been the belief of the church since the very beginning, as revealed by Eusebius AD 325, in his Second Book against Sabellius, he expressly declares that if a word is not found in Scripture, it is satisfactory to him: "As to not inquiring...

Paul C, an excellent post. While Origen was the most shallow windbag of all the Fathers, Tertullian, a Roman lawyer, who in my opinion, was the greatest in summarizing the tenants of the faith; and probably the first Holy Roller! <giggle> Roman Catholicism, is merely a continuation of pagan...

My Bible certainly mentions her other children!! And as for what any church father said about her, they actually said nothing about her. She wasn't even given so much and an honorable mention in Jerome's biographies of the saints.

These people who are so dedicated to trampling on the Word of God, make absolutely no sense whatsoever! Biblical history regarding Mary and her four sons and two or more daughters is so simple, even a child could understand it. And if the marriage between Mary and Joseph was not consummated...

Was it really me who insulted you, or was it the Apostle Peter and other writers of Scripture who already had your number before you were even born?

Mary was really not all that worthy of comment in the early church. In Jerome's 200 biographies of the saints and significant people in the church, Mary was not even mentioned. About all we know about her later years, is that she died in Ephesus at age 65, and was buried at the Church of Mary...

Mungo, typical of God-rejecting, Bible-rejecting Romanism, following this ungodly cult, the fruit of your religion has been around for thousands of years. Your only evil objective is to twist Scripture beyond recognition. "As our beloved brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom God gave him...

Procreation has been one of the greatest joys I have experienced here on earth, not only the process <grin>, but the end result. I like to think that eternity will be much better than it has been on earth.

Fascinating how Luke's account varies from That of Isaiah: "Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever." Isaiah 9:7 To me, that...
