No Ruben, what we are saying is that God says in the Bible is truth. The Bible says she had other children. The argument you have should not with us it should be with those you follow who have mixed paganism with God's truth making it a lie in some aspects. They tell the truth. I know because they trust in the Holy Spirit to guide them and it seems to me you trust in man to tell you which way to go. ---miche3754 on 11/20/09 Miche please explain to me then, when you disagree with those who you say are guided with the Holy Spirit and are telling the truth, How can they in a instance being not in God's truth. What make them in truth now but in False when you disagree with their interpretation of scripture?

	Trav,Amen. Point understood. Reuben,these were not Heavenly Father but act as if. Matt23 There should be no problem calling a Priest Father: Pauls statement, "I do not write this to make you ashamed, but to admonish you as my beloved children. For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel" (1 Cor. 4:1415).

	Rhonda/Trav are right. You need to look outside the RCC. ---Pastor_Jim on 11/19/09 What you are saying is that Rhonda,Trav interpretation is correct, but I have seen where you have disagree with them on other issues, so who am I suppose to believe when that happens,them, since you say there are correct?

you are giving glory to some other person other then YHVH. Wake up!!!! ---wayne on 11/19/09 So is Paul giving glory to himself: Romans 11:13-14 (KJV) For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: [14] If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them 1 Corinthians 9:22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some

TILL:heos Continuance of an action. And he knew(ginsoka)her NOT TILL(heos)(waited)she brought forth... FIRST-Born ---char on 11/19/09 Matt. 28:29 - I am with you "until the end of the world." Continuance of Action: Jesus will longer be with us after the end of the world! Luke 2:37 - Anna was a widow "up to the point that" she was eighty-four years old. Action of Continuance : she was a widow after she was 84 years old

	2. Calling a man/priest father praying to Mary, mother of GOD. Protestants wise to Protest and leave. ---Trav on 11/18/09 Trav, it reads call no man and also call no one teacher. So does of us you who have kids, we must teach them not to call us fathers, even if Jesus himself said else where to "Honor your Father and Mother" And at school do not dare say teachers to them because they are not!

Rhonda* If you read the Word of God without any religious system TELLING you what it says it would be impossible to be blinded to scripture that tells us Mary was BLESSED with marital relations with Joseph AFTER Christs birth and went on to have MANY children So you want me to believe in "Your" interpretation of scripture, no thanks! Rhonda *PAGANS honor virgins as goddesses "Pagans" also worship their god, so I guess we(Christians) should not worship Our God!

The dead can't pray because they know nothing. Mary had other children. You can believe God or man's tradition its your choice. I choose to believe God on the matter. "Let God be true and every man a liar". Leon, Pastor Jim, earl, and others Amen to you for believing God's truth. ---miche3754 on 11/18/09 Please explain to me Matthew 17:3 if the dead know nothing "And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with him.

	Leon* YES IT IS Ruben, when read in right context & with an open-mind to receive the truth: - Jn. 20:18 is explained by Matt. 12:46-50, Mk. 3:31-35. Unless Mary Magdalene had the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus gave no hint on what He meant about "Brothers", again not crystal clear as you want!

PASTOR_JIM * Because the Catholics made her a Goddess, Mother of God, Co-redeemer and exalt her above Christ. Until you show any documents that say Catholics Made her a Goddess or worship her, other wise it (the word I like to use) is your own opinion. About Mary being the Mother of God, I will let scripture answer that for you "And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?"(LK 1:43) Pastor Jim* The Protestants almost completely ignore her. I have never seen a single book or heard a single protestant sermon on Mariam except Christmas. VERY VERY SAD! Perhaps you would like to give us a Sermon on Mary with 125 words or less, that would be Great!

Glenn *Over the centuries, Roman Catholics have come to believe that Miriam is the mother of God (Theotokos) Actually Glen he Bible calls her Mother of God, " And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?"(Luke 1:43) Glen*The Bible and Christianity support none of this. Luke 1:28-30, we honor her for being Jesus' mommy, but like all sinners, she needed a Savior. Tell me Glen How do you honor her?

Leon * When it says brother[s]...sisters it means they were Jesus' brothers & sisters (sibblings). Then why did Mary M when told "to go to my BROTHERS and say unto them"(JHN 20:18), she went to the disciples? Leon* But, the Bible is crystal clear No it not !Gen 14:14, Lot is called Abraham Brother, he is his Nephew! Jacob is called the brother of his uncle Laban(Gen 29:10,15) Leon* There's no indication his brothers & sisters were there. Maybe they were afraid and/or ashamed. As the eldest son, Jesus had taken care of Mary. He likely gave that responsibility to John (his cousin) since none of his other sibblings were present. Or MAYBE he had no brothers or Sisters.

	Mima* Ruben is in a dilemma, he knows what he has been taught and he cannot conceive that he was taught wrong. And yes his position must always be one of a different interpretation than what the literal meaning to a verse is. Unless you can tell me why your interpretation of scripture is correct from the Early Church and the Protestant Reformers , than all you are doing is blowing smoke!

	"IS MEANS IS":...Martin Luther ---Pastor_Jim on 11/16/09 And Martin Luther went by 'It is wrritten" and said Mary had no other children!

Ruben:) Would you please read Mark 6:3 & explain to us what it says & means? Thanks. ---Leon on 11/14/09 Leon, it means relatives, cousins, When you read other scripture verses that uses the word "brother" it has a wide range of meaning! Reasons Jesus has no brothers: In Luke 2:44 when they(Parents) realized he was missing "sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. " Why not his other brothers or sisters? In Jhn 19:26-27, Jesus commited his care of his Mother to John and not the next sibling . No where in scripture does it say Mary had other children. Protestant Reformers who went by the Bible Alone agree that Jesus had no brothers or sisters!

Did Mary Have More Kids
	Ruben: Like it or not, Scripture plainly says what it says. In this instance (Mk. 6:3), no interpretation is necessary. Buy the truth, it'll set you free. :) ---Leon on 11/13/09 You mean to buy your interpretation of scripture, no thank you!

Explain Woman In Revelation 12
	The woman in chapter 12 cannot be the church, because Christ gave birth to the church, not the church giving birth to Christ. It also cannot be Mary the mother of Jesus, ---Michael on 11/13/09 Wait a minute, how can it not be Mary other than your bias statement! Did Mary give birth to our Saviour, Y or N ?

Did Mary Have More Kids

PASTOR_JIM * The Bible, Historians, Paul, Peter and Josephus (1st Century historian) all comfirm this. There has never been any arguements about his brothers and sisters. Because they knew he had no brothers or sisters! PASTOR_JIM * It is obvious you are a Catholic who for years have strained one's imagination to prove the "Eternal Virginity" of Mary. There is really strain at all! PASTOR_JIM * Not worth commenting on! Total Nonsense! If you change your mind, I am always here:)

Like I said Rueben, Nothing in scripture supports Mary NOT having anymore children. If you look at originals and study, you will find that Jesus certainly did have siblings. Which will you choose? Man made tradition or GOD'S TRUTH? That is an easy one for me. Not so easy for you since you are believing in a corrupt system that has spread lies and deceit for almost 1700 years to back private agendas NOT God's. ---miche3754 on 11/13/09 Nothing in scripture tells me she had other children, about the man made tradition or God's truth, of course God's truth just Not your own interpretation of scripture!
