Please take sometime out to read Church History. Ignorance is deadly. Not only on religion but generally. God bless you.

I guess you should read my comment again if you also do not believe Mary had other children after the miraculous birth of JESUS CHRIST.

Gal. 1:19, "But I did not see any other of the apostles except James, the Lord's brother."


Psalm 69:4-9,

"Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; Those who would destroy me are powerful, being wrongfully my enemies; What I did not steal, I then have to restore. 5 O God, it is You who knows my folly, And my wrongs are not hidden from You. 6 May those who wait for You not be ashamed through me, O Lord GOD of hosts; May those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel, 7 Because for Your sake I have borne reproach; Dishonor has covered my face. 8 I have become estranged from my brothers And an alien to my mother’s sons.

Its a foolish doctrine from Catholic religion to believe that Joseph who was legally married to Mary did not have sex with her after the birth of Jesus

My dad had a son before he married my mum. Is he not my brother? Na my mama born am?

Which Bible are you talking abt
pls answer these 3 questions
1 WHO compiled the Bible
2 which church existed for over 1000 years bfre other and which Bible were they using
3 in Jewish tradition a cousin or nephew can be called a brother how come marry didn't have other kids even when its obvious Jesus was already 12years when he changed water into wine.
cos did he leave other siblings at home and went alone with Mary and Joseph.?
so after the Birth of Jesus so Mary couldn't conceive again after over 12 years if am to blv u?
guy wise up.
learn to be humble
Catholic is a church that has lasted for over 2000 years. and still waxing stronger and urs maybe 6 years instead of u to be humble and learn you are talking rubbish.
So after Mary married Joseph,she was just an empty basket in his house.

Of what importance is it to the economy of salvation? Why not ask of how Joseph was born, or how he grew up, or the school he went to?

The Bible is a record of the most significant things for our salvation.
Re: Lady Burns Virgin Mary’s Statue In Enugu (Photos) by Gracemadeit(m): 7:09pm On Jan 13, 2019
There is no where in the bible where the Bible said we should worship mary's stature, it is simply idolatry & people prefer to follow religion than to follow the truth in the Bible. John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.... Philippians 3:3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

Do you know what 'worship' means? Did the Catholics tell you they're worshipping Mary? Did they tell you they think that statue is Mary?

I'm willing to bet you're one of these rabid, prosperity-gospel Pentecostals that make noise all over the place in the name of 'speaking in tongues' and 'casting out demons'!

May be it's u that does'nt know the meaning of worship, what else do catholics do with Mary if not worship ? Why kneel down before a statue to pray if u don't believe the statue represents ur god ? Stop calling a spade cutlass.

I was born into a very catholic home and the issue of Mary is the main thing that gave the penticostal church members. Deal with it!

Worship ur God in your own way n allow others to do there's. Don't judge and try to be a Christian which u claim to be.

Do u prefer the picture of Mary in the church or the picture of your pastor and wife.
U call ur PASTOR wife mummy but call Mary other name
Beware and stop being a judge.

I have replied you there but I will paste what I posted there here also.

Open your Bible to Matthew 13:55,56
55. Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56. And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

Mark 6:3
3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. {offended: scandalized in, or, by him}

I agree with u but where are those his brethren in Isreal
Re: Lady Burns Virgin Mary’s Statue In Enugu (Photos) by ebukason3(m): 8:15pm On Jan 13, 2019
MistadeRegal:
What most people do not know is that, anything you set up and start worshiping gets possessed. This is not Virgin Mary and even she never died a virgin because she had other children for Joseph. Making her a god to worship is idolatery.
There was a time someone told me they are only honouring the Queen of Heaven. The same religion that was condemned by GOD of the children of Israel during the days of Jeremiah.

Read the book of Jeremiah Chapter 7 and Chapter 44 and see what GOD says about the so called religion of the Queen of Heaven.

Think people.


And for those disputing if Mary had other children or not, see the following Bible passages:

Open your Bible to Matthew 13:55,56
55. Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
56. And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

Mark 6:3
3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

Mary a virgin conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit while still a virgin (Luke 1:34-35 and Matthew 1:25), and gave birth to only Jesus.
Even though Matthew13:55 and Mark6:3 address Jesus relatives as brothers. Reading John19:25 , Matthew27:56, Mark15:40, Jude:1 and mark3:17-18 further reveals that those mentioned are close relatives of Jesus .

The queen of heaven is a title given to Mary base on the fact that a king mother plays a queen role (2kings2:19) and Jesus is a king (John18:37)
The title is taken from Revelation12:1-6
where the mother of Jesus is crown with 12 stars which symbolise angels (star), 12
tribes of Israel(the chosen people), 12 apostles (Church). There were other titles like the Ark of new covenant. This is from the fact that the power of God or Shekinah Glory rested on Mary in Luke1:35 and in Exodus40:34-38 the Shekinah Glory rested on the Ark of the covenant. Jesus is the fulfilment of the law (Matthew5:17) and stayed in the womb of Mary, but the law in Exodus40:20 and Hebrew9:4 was inside the Ark of the covenant.

The mother of Jesus need to be respected.

It always ends in abuse.

Simple fact bro: there is no account of Mary having any other children. That the Bible mentions the brothers of Jesus doesn't mean Mary had other kids. I just gave an example with "my dad'. The psalm you quoted is ridiculous. Prophecies are unclear in interpretation. But if you so much think it's referring to Mary, then revelations 12 refers to her as well. You may want to read it.

Kindly note that the ever virgin status of Mary adds nothing to her importance in the economy of salvation the same way her bearing children for Joseph would not have reduced her importance either. It is just a historical fact.

And I would rather believe facts emanating from an institution that has lasted for over 2000 years than to believe coerced interpretations from churches less than a 2 centuries old.

Hope you read the bible verses.

John 19:25
But by the cross of Jesus stood His mother, His mother's sister, Mary the [wife] of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

Matthew 27:56
Among them were Mary of Magdala, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.

Mark 15:40
Now some women were there also, looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome,

Jude 1
1 JUDE, A servant of Jesus Christ (the Messiah), and brother of James, [writes this letter] to those who are called (chosen), dearly loved by God the Father and separated (set apart) and kept for Jesus Christ:

Mark 3:17-18
17 James son of Zebedee and John the brother of James, and He surnamed them Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder;
18 And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew (Nathaniel), and Matthew, and Thomas, and James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus (Judas, not Iscariot), and Simon the Cananaean [also called Zelotes],

Matthew 13:55-56
55 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?

56 And do not all His sisters live here among us? Where then did this Man get all this?

___________________________________________________

Matthew 13 listed James, Joseph, Simon and Judas. Now let's take a look on crucification account by John, Mark and Mathew listed above ( in the crowd three women were noted Mary mother of Jesus, {Mary the [wife] of Clopas, } and Mary Magdalene.
John tells us that the wife of Clopas also named Mary is a sister to Mary mother of Jesus.
Mark 15:40 points out that James (also in Jude1:1), are Children of wife of clopas
