What are you talking about??I hope you don't plan on trying to stuff that thing down my throat.
Then you'll really have your hands full.
That's as silly as saying that there is no evidence that Jesus wasn't married.There's also not one shred of evidence that she didn't have other children.
So what's your point?
That's as silly as saying that there is no evidence that Jesus wasn't married.
It's not my job to prove a negative.
It's YOUR job to prove a claim that Mary had other children.
This is Debating 101, son . . .

Well Curious Mary,
I still say that because someone does not agree it does not make them dishonest.
Here's an example using a document YOU quoted:
The Protevangelium of James,
Chapter 18:
18. And he found a cave there, and led her into it; and leaving his two sons beside her, he went out to seek a widwife in the district of Bethlehem.
It's "James" telling the story of Mary's birth and her voyage to Bethlehem. The above is saying that Joseph left his two sons with Mary and went to look for a midwife.
1. I've always said that the other children might be half brothers of Jesus. This document would seem to prove that. I say "seem to" because there is some question as to its authenticity.
2. Do you notice that it says that Joseph left his two sons with Mary?
Does it mention this in the account of Luke? No.
So because it is NOT mentioned, does that mean it didn't happen?
If something is mentioned in the N.T., we can be sure that it happened.
If something is NOT mentioned, we cannot be sure that it did NOT actually HAPPEN.
Without looking for it now, there is one gospel writer that says there were two demon possessed men that went to Jesus.
Another gospel writer says that there was one demon possessed man that went to Jesus.
So we could be SURE that there was at least ONE.
Probably two but for some reason the other wasn't mentioned in one of the gospels.
So because the bible does not state names of siblings does not mean they did not exist.
And anyway, they are mentioned but you refuse to accept it.
Mathew 13:55
"His mother, Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas."
NASB
So would step siblings be accepted by you?Correction:
IF Joseph had children from a previous marriage - they would be STEP-siblings, not HALF-siblings.
And your silence on the matter is even more ludicrous.Mary, the majority does not rule.
Your claims are ludicrous.
It's quite possible that Jesus had step-siblings.So would step siblings be accepted by you?
That's just it - YOU guys are the ones telling us to prove this negative.It's NOT your job too prove a negative...
So HOW do you prove Mary DIDN'T have other children???
You're the one that's desperate for an argument.And your silence on the matter is even more ludicrous.
You have YET to show one shred of Scripture - or ANY historical document regarding the idea that Mary had "other" children.
Denial is not an argument.
It's desperation . . .
I once read that Mary had 12 kids, 8 boys and 4 girls.It's quite possible that Jesus had step-siblings.
The one thing we know for sure is that they weren't Mary's children.
It's a historical document.Too bad it's not Scripture.
But catholics use other books, don't they?
No you won't.It's a historical document.
I'll tell you what - show me a historical document that says Mary had "other" children and I'll take you seriously.
No - we've shown with Scripture and extra-biblical historical documents that Mary never had another child besides Jesus.You're the one that's desperate for an argument.
Keep begging.....
It's not a historical document.I once read that Mary had 12 kids, 8 boys and 4 girls.
I think it was a book written by a nun...
You will never admit to losing.No - we've shown with Scripture and extra-biblical historical documents that Mary never had another child besides Jesus.
The ball is in YOUR court, sparky.
Show me ONE shred of evidence that she did and you'll win the debate . . .
Wrong.It gets cut up into tiny little pieces.
Then the priest and those around the altar get first picks.
Then it goes into the cup to the parishoners.
Apparently, you're run out of ammunition and useful information on this topic.You will never admit to losing.
I asked you 7 questions in post #721 and you still haven't answered anything.
