Yes, there is an implication regarding Mary. I agree that there is no implication regarding Jesus having siblings. Trinitarians tend to invoke all manner of word play. The verses you cited make it plain Jesus had siblings. I've mentioned to soul several times that the motivation for her word...

The Holy Spirit. No man on Earth today has such authority. One of the very best things of Christianity is how it is different, from say Islam, which spreads by the sword. Christianity spreads by consent. People come to the cross, come to accept our Savior into their lives voluntarily. I am...

Since Jesus said these words, you must reconcile it. The obvious and logical conclusion is they are not equal, torn apart if you must think so, in some ways. Wasn't Jesus torn apart from the Father at the cross? Otherwise, you are left with a statement from Jesus that has no practical...

IMO, there is extreme arrogance that you are the only arbiter and final judge on just how to apply the words and teachings of Christ. We live by the light we were given and ought to have grace on such differences - not assert superiority.

Hmmm. I think there is a difference between doctrine and faith. We believe in God. We have faith in Jesus. That is, our faith is in a person or a being, if you prefer. This is the Good News. The Good News is God has made a pathway for our salvation through his son. The Good News is our...

Very well put.

No. Absolutely not. There is only one God, the Father - just as St Paul explicitly said. Jesus is the Messiah, the Servant of God foretold by Moses at Deuteronomy 18:15-18 and Isaiah 53. You are they; I am us Paul is referring to. 'For us, there is one God, the Father.' 1 Corinthians 8:6

It's a beautiful rationalization to go completely against what Jesus said.

No. I do not care to your numerous attempts to invoke one logical fallacy after another. In this case, Appeal to Diversion. Can you admit that Jesus was sent and this means the One who sent Jesus is greater than Jesus?

Such posts are unbecoming. I never gave this answer. You have created your Strawman for your purposes.

Such projection onto text can only have theological doctrine motivations. When the cop hands me a speeding ticket and says this is YOUR speeding ticket, he is not talking collectively, i.e., 'our.' The notion of 'mother of our salvation' is man-made.

No. I do not care to do laps on ground already repeatedly covered. There are numerous verses that state Jesus has siblings, implying Mary had other children.

No. I do not care to sabotage my own thread. This thread is the case AGAINST. Go away troll.

Sadly, you do not answer questions but re-assert your position and displace verses.

I share those JW beliefs 100%. My guess is many non-trinitarians share those JW beliefs.

The question is, would it shatter your faith if Mary was not a perpetual virgin?

Nice! You are in denial of verses that go against your doctrine. There are numerous verses that State Jesus has siblings. It is clear from the text James was the brother of Jesus. Your incessant questioning me of your interpretation of Scripture is unbecoming, I.e., if a person unknown to...

Jesus is also a prophet. I’m not sure why you are trolling this thread or how you think your posts STRENGTHEN the case AGAINST.

Another absurd point of the man-is God thesis is Jesus repeatedly refers to the One who sent him. In another verse, he affirms the messenger (Jesus) is less than the one who sends the message. Trinitarians rationalization how this is co-equal is astonishing mental gymnastics.

I understand there are >30K Christian denominations. If they identify as Christian, that’s good enough for me. The problem, once again is trinitarianism. Trinitarians are hostile in the extreme to non-trinitarian Christians.
