Why do you guys always go for the wisdom of men instead of the Wisdom of God???
You are mistaken as far as the Bible goes. The references to brothers and sisters are there because there was no word for cousins. Please study a little more.
And get as biblically smart as you are??? No thanks...
Luke 1:36 And behold thy cousin Elizabeth, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her that is called barren:
The bible ofcourse says you are wrong, again...
Even the reformers...Luther, zwingali and Calvin all believed in the perpetual virginity of Mary...and argued it from the bible...ooops
I always wondered why Jesus was never called the “only begotten†son of Mary instead of the “first-born†son. If He was her only child, and since the gospels were written decades after Mary had died, the verses should have said he was her “only†begotten son if he was the only child she bore, but they don’t. First born means the first child she bore and that others would be born after this first child, since only the first child is called the first-born and Scripture references Jesus’ other brothers and sisters. It’s certainly not enough of an issue to merit an entire thread(s) to hash it out, but it is curious why no Catholic seems to want to talk about that point.
