I'm so glad you brought that up because it seems that you and bbyrd have the same linguistic handicap. You're both Scriptural literalists - when it suits you. Let's examine Matt. 1:25 . . . Bbyrd's “proof” against the idea of Mary’s perpetual virginity because of the word “until”. is a...

Okay - I'll make it easy on you. I won't even use the word "Adelphos(oi)." Show me ONE verse of Scripture that tells us Mary had other children. So far - NONE of the verses you provided make this claim. My mom has 13 children, 41 grandchildren and over 50 great grandchildren. She also has...

When did I say that These verses are NOT speaking of Mary, mother of Jesus?? That is a ridiculous lie. I said that other verses show that the "Adelphoi" mentioned in these verses were the children of Mary's "Adelphe", also named "Mary", who was the wife of Clopas (John 19:25) and was at the...

You're dancing around the issue again. You haven't explained WHY the "Adelphoi" of Jesus HAD to be uterine siblings. Why couldn't they have been step-siblings or cousins?? Why would the unbelieving Adelphoi HAVE to be uterine siblings in your view?? As I've repeatedly educated you -...

This is ludicrous. Are you saying that unbelieving relative of Jesus could ONLY be uterine siblings?? Can you explain that one, please?? Are you saying that they couldn't be unbelieving cousins or step-siblings?? If not - then WHY not?? Can you explain this?? As for the Early Church - there...

I'm glad you finally brought this verse into the conversation because it pretty much PROVES my point about these "Adelphoi" being cousins or some other relation to Jesus. Ready?? Here goes . . . The “other Mary” at the foot of the cross is described as being the mother of James and Joses. She...

And you list the same verse that uses the word "Adelphoi" - knowing that this word encompasses MANY meanings other than uterine sibling. Were the 120 "Adelphoi" mentioned in Acts 1 15 children of the SAME mother?? You never answered that question. YOUR problem is denial - pure and simple. You...

Why do you keep making the moronic assertion that Mary wouldn't be around unbelievers. This is a really WEAK claim. There are members of my extended family who are unbelievers yet we hang out together at family reunions. These "adelphoi" were Mary's step-children?? Is she supposed to abandon...

You can only repent when you're alive. When you're dead - it's too late.

And you'd be wrong. The Early Church fathers UNANIMOUSLY agree on Mary's perpetual virginity. The so-called "Reformers" also UNANIMOUSLY agreed on her perpetual virginity. The idea that Mary had "other" children is a relatively NEW invention. As for your ridiculous assertion that ONLY His...

This is the overwhelming consensus of Christian scholarship - Catholic AND Protestant. YOUR asinine position is your own invention . . .

I would like for you to substantiate this preposterous claim. CAN you do that??

And that is a ridiculous assumption. They could be ANY relation , as I have repeatedly educated you. You keep dodging the questions I have asked: In 2000 years of Christendom with its many traditions - WHY isn't there ONE single tradition or document that makes the claim YOU are making about...

And your limited understanding of Scripture is what is confusing you. Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit in CONTEXT to what Jesus is saying about the Pharisees - is rejection of the Holy Spirit's guidance. The Pharisees were claiming that Jesus received His powers from the Devil - not God. They...

You don't read very well, do you?? I already educated you on this point. The very broad usage of "Adelphos" in Scripture encompasses MANY uses including: - Uterine brother - Step sibling - Cousin - Uncle - Brother in law - Nephew - Friend - Neighbor - Fellow Countryman - Fellow Believer ANY...

I already told you. the "Adelphoi" spoken of in John 7:3-5 are adelphoi of Jesus. And as I also told you - the text is unclear as to the relationship of these adelphoi because of the broadness of the term.

He paid for all sins but the application of that is ONLY for those who repent. NOBODY gets into Heaven having refused to repent. This is Christianity 101 . . .

As I educated you earlier - the broad meaning of "Adelphos" encompassed MANY uses. Among them are uterine sibling, step sibling, friend, cousin, uncle, neighbor, father in law, fellow believer, fellow countryman, etc. This is glaringly clear in the Greek Septuagint version of the Old...

You Bible-coders are a dime a dozen because you trust in yourself instead of God. Since you trust in your own prognostications about Christ's return instead of trusting in Scripture - let's continue this conversation on September 24th. I'll have a good laugh as YOU try to squirm out of the hole...

And when YOU can show me ONE verse that says Mary had other children - I will agree with you. Unfortunately, there aren't any verses that make this claim. You can't even name one. Surely, if He had uterine siblings, they would be mentioned by name in Scripture. They're not because He didn't...
