    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    No need for further conversation because YOU are completely unable to use simply deductive reasoning. Standing ner the cross, there are THREE Marys and ONE Salome. NOT that difficult to figure out . . .

    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    Sooooo, where is this prayer in MARY'S name?? If I ask YOU to pray for me - am I praying in YOUR name - or am I asking YOU to pray for me in CHRIST'S name? Note the text above in RED.

    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    Mary’s question to the Angel Gabriel is very revealing about her intention to remain a virgin: Luke 1:34: Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?” Mary was a betrothed girl who knew about marital relations. She didn’t say “How can this be, since I have not...

    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    The Davidic Kingdom is modeled after the Kingdom of Heaven. We can see this from the references to Isaiah 22:20-22 With God giving Eliakim the Keys of the House of Israel - and Jesus appointing Peter as the bearer of the “keys to the kingdom” (Matt. 16:18-19). In the Davidic Kingdom, the wife...

    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    Then YOU don't understand Scripture or Scriptural context. Salome is mentioned in the verse I just showed you standing near the cross. She is ALSO mention at the tomb of Jesus: Mark 15:40 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the...

    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    Assumption (Rev. 12:1) Queen of Heaven (1 Kings 2:19-20, Rev. 12:1) Perpetual virginity (Luke 1:34) Finally - NOBODY prays in Mary's name. Anything else??

    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    Salome. Matt. 27:56 says, "…among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee". Mark 15:40 states, "There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses...

    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    WRONG again. Salome is the wife of Zebedee and the mother of James and John. The Three Marys have already been spoken for.

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    And once again, you are moving the goalposts in a desperate attempt to prove the linguistic scholars wrong. You are dissecting the phrase "in the name of", word by word. NOBODY is debating the use of the word "name". IT is the phrase that is being discussed - and the consensus of linguistic...

    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    Wrong. As I showed you - John 19:25 states, "But standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene". That's THREE Marys: 1. Mary, mother of Jesus 2. Mary, her "sister", mother of James and Joses 3. Mary Magdalene What are you...

    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    Alphaeus is Hebrew name and is rendered in Greek as "Clopas". So, there - your problem is solved. Mary, wife of Clopas/Alphaeus, who is said to be the mother of Joses and James the younger in Mark's Gospel.

    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    As we have already discussed, "Adelpos" can be used for uterine brother, half-brother, step-brother, cousin, uncle, nephew, neighbor, fellow countryman, fellow believer, etc. CONTEXT is always key. It's also interesting to note that for ALL of the times this term is used in the NT - a very...

    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    No need. Just making a point that this was an occasion where Mary was the subject and Jesus was "also" there.

    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    This was never a teaching of the Church - but an opinion of some, like Augustine, if I'm not mistaken. The church didn't add any "baggage" . . .

    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    Ahhh . . . I don't find that creepy, but I understand.

    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    No. If you compare ALL of the accounts of the Crucifixion - there are THREE Marys: 1. Mary, mother of Jesus 2. Mary, her "sister", mother of James and Joses 3. Mary Magdalene Matt. 27:56 says, "…among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons...

    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    No. From what I have read, that is against Jewish custom to name 2 children with the same name.

    Yup. There are a LOT of people who know ancient Greek thoroughly. Just not YOU . . .

    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    She was impregnated by the Holy Spirit. YOU stated that this was "creepy? Why - if that Spirit was God?

    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    I have looked into this - as have many experts. The "other" Mary standing near the cross is clearly the mother of James and Joses, the "brethren of the Lord". She is also called the "wife of Clopas". This other Mary is ALSO called the "sister" (Adelphe) of the mother of Jesus (Mary). We know...
