It never says that in the Bible, but to suggest otherwise really makes 'em mad...be careful and tread lightly.

Now wait a minute. The Bible says Mary had kids. Jesus had brothers and sisters, yet they get mad because we mention it? Of course she laid with her husband. That's what wives do. She was just a body. If she'd have told God "no thank you", he'd have found a replacement. Geeeeez. The Bible says nothing about the dieity nor the sainthood of Mary for crying out loud. Whare'd that idea come from?

Ephesians 5 vs. 31 "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." [15] <---Except for Joseph and Mary.

They were married, but never had sex. God commanded men and women to be fruitful and multiply. But you have to read the disclaimer, it's in fine print at the bottom...Except Joseph and Mary. I'm a bible believing Christian..If it says James brother of Jesus..thats good enough for me...If it said James, Half brother of Jesus by Josephs first marriage(which I had never heard of)that would be good enough for me. If it's in the Bible, I will believe it. .....any scripture to back up the fact that Joseph was a widower?

I think the Bible gives a clue when it talks about doctrines of men and doctrines of demons.
