1 | Jesus brothers. | Matt 12:46 | 6 days | 124248 | ||
The majority of Catholics stand by the tradition that Jesus had no brothers or sisters. I can't say that I agree that the majority of all Christians agree with this. After returning from the tomb, are we to believe the mother of James mentioned in Luke 24:10 wasn't Jesus' mom? ((Luke 24:10 (KJV) It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.)) It is made clear in Matthew (( Mt 27:56 (KJV) Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.)) that this wasn't James son of Zebedee. Realize that this Mary is the mother of James and Joses. Now read ((Mr 6:3 (KJV) 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.)) I think it is a reach to see references that are almost without debate referring to the virign Mary...and then see the last scripture which is without debate referring to Jesus' mom...and to say that this refers to Mary the mother of Jesus and the "aunt" of these referred to as Jesus' brothers and sisters. This is clearly saying that Mary was the mother of Jesus, James, Joses, Juda, Simon and his sisters...and then to say the Bible never teaches that Jesus had brothers and sisters. Not trying to offend but you are trying to make scripture fit tradition. Let God's Word stand on its own and if a tradition doesn't line up with God's Word, toss it! God's Word gives us liberty! |
