    MARK 6:3 DID JESUS HAVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS ? *****

    False because the Scripture plainly says Jesus had brothers and sisters. Anyone who takes an unbiased reading of Scripture can tell you this.

    MARK 6:3 DID JESUS HAVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS ? *****

    Jesus had 1/2 brothers and sisters... siblings by His mother Mary and adoptive father Joseph. Everyone who knew His family and lived in Nazareth during Jesus' time knew that. That is why they were offended at His claims to be the Son of God... because they knew His family and didn't think much...

    The false gospel of grace

    When we turn to Jesus in repentance, confessing our sins, He has promised to forgive and to cleanse us (1 John 1:9). When we are Born Again, God gives us a new heart that hates sin and a spirit that will not allow us to continue in sin.

    MARK 6:3 DID JESUS HAVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS ? *****

    We know that's what you're saying. And it's false. And that was his main point.

    The false gospel of grace

    No. The Gospel is the news that Christ died for sins, was buried, and on the 3rd day rose from the grave. (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) The CORE of this Gospel is the Grace of God. Jesus Christ is the centerpiece of the Gospel and He was full of Grace and Truth (John 1:14). Satan doesn't want...

    Amillenialism and Acts 1:11

    No. The 144,000 are 12,000 from each of the LITERAL Tribes of Israel. Notice how Dan is not mentioned, but the sons of Joseph are. The 144,000 are God's fulfillment of His promise to redeem the remnant of the Jews. You'll be surprised how much of Revelation is both figurative AND Literal.

    MARK 6:3 DID JESUS HAVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS ? *****

    No. It's not a matter of arguing about the meaning of words. It's a matter of context. The OP is right. From the context, discussion, and topic at hand in Scripture, anyone can clearly see when the Word is speaking of Jesus' siblings compared to his believers.

    MARK 6:3 DID JESUS HAVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS ? *****

    It is clear from the contextual reading of Mark 6:3 that Jesus was the son of Mary and brother to James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon. The Pharisees clearly knew it, and because they saw nothing special about him, they were offended. Jesus had biological step brothers. Anyone who reads Mark 6:3...

    MARK 6:3 DID JESUS HAVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS ? *****

    Mark 6:3 "Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him." Jesus step-brothers by His mother Mary were: 1) James 2) Joseph 3) Judas 4) Simon

    Yes. You and I are on the same page.

    MARK 6:3 DID JESUS HAVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS ? *****

    Mark 16:1 and Luke 24:10. Please show me a scripture that attributes James to another mother than Mary.

    The Restrainer

    The point I am making is that when I was tempted by Satan, he was not "shut up" in Hell. He is still roaming the earth tempting people. This is my personal proof we are NOT in the Millenium: 1) Because Satan is not shut up, locked in Hell, but is roaming the earth tempting myself and other...

    MARK 6:3 DID JESUS HAVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS ? *****

    Romans 1:3-4 "concerning His Son, who was born of a descendant of David according to the flesh, who was declared the Son of God with power by the resurrection from the dead, according to the Spirit of holiness, Jesus Christ our Lord" Matthew 1:1 "This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the...

    MARK 6:3 DID JESUS HAVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS ? *****

    Christ is the eternal Word of God. He was God in the begginning. He came into the flesh and blood body of Jesus in Mary's Womb. In this way, He is the Son of God and also David's Lord, since He existed as God BEFORE David was born. But Mary was a daughter of David. Jesus Christ's body was...

    MARK 6:3 DID JESUS HAVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS ? *****

    And that is how I know you do not have the Truth of God in Jesus Christ. Satan denies Jesus Christ is the Seed of the Woman, the Son of David, the Son of God because Satan knows the Seed of the Woman will crush his head, and he is in denial of the Truth of God in Jesus Christ.

    MARK 6:3 DID JESUS HAVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS ? *****

    Is Jesus Christ the Seed of the Woman, the Son of David, the Son of God? Yes or No?

    Is Jesus Christ the Seed of the Woman, the son of David, the Son of God, Yes or No?

    MARK 6:3 DID JESUS HAVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS ? *****

    Don't you know that 2 children of the same mother are biologically related, even if they have a different father? They both share the DNA of the mother. That makes them biologically related.

    MARK 6:3 DID JESUS HAVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS ? *****

    I understand that Jesus was giving John to Mary as an adoptive son. But Mary was still the biological mother of Jesus as it is written "I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel." (Genesis 3:15). Jesus...

    MARK 6:3 DID JESUS HAVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS ? *****

    Yes. The flesh that Christ dwelt in (the body of Jesus of Nazareth) was created by God and not by any man's seed. God took the seed of the Virgin Mary, added a "Y" chromosome, and formed the body of Jesus in the womb of Mary. Then Christ ENTERED that body of Jesus while it was still in the...
