That is true. Mary, a virgin did conceive of the miraculous seed implanted in Mary's womb. Mary then gave birth to one child at that time - not twins, triplets, quads, or females. Mary did name her
single son's name Immanuel (which means "God with us.")Butthat does not even imply that it was the only child Mary gave birth to.
Mark 10:6-9...
"But from the beginning of creation, 'God made them male and female.''For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.' So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder."
"Be fruitful and multiply." God is not a God of contradiction. Mary and Joseph are not exceptions. They became parents of other children.theefaith, you must know this list below comes straight from God's word in scripture so why are you hiding from them?
Is it because you are afraid of being discommunicated and die in hell if you leave the Catholic church? People in my family have left the Catholic church trembling yet left because they saw the truth in God's Word. It is truly hard for someone to admit that they have been deceived for so long.

Mat 13:53-58..."And when Jesus had finished these parables, he went away from there, and coming to his own country he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And are not all his sisters with us?

Mar 10:29- 30... Jesus said,
"Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life.

"Truly, I say to you, there is no man who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not receive manifold more in this time, and in the age to come eternal life."
WHY DOES JESUS REFER TO HIS MOTHER, HIS BROTHERS AND HIS SISTERS SO OFTEN IN THE MANNER IN WHICH HE DOES IN THE 3 VERSES ABOVE?
It is because Jesus is to be at the center of each believer in Christ --- even over their mother, their father, their spouses, their siblings or even the pastor of their church because we are all human and err. That was Adam's biggest fault, he put Eve over God and listened to her instead of adhering to what God had told him in the Garden.
Those verse are made to make a certain point. They are not to be taken literally.
