2 | Did Jesue have any siblings? | Mark 6:3 | EdB | 106959 | ||
Yes Jesus had brothers and sisters this is confirmed in these versus Mark 3:32 And a multitude was sitting around Him; and they said to Him, "Look, Your mother and Your brothers are outside seeking You." Mark 6:3 Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And are not His sisters here with us?" And they were offended at Him. EdB |

Well, I guess that we have learned all about Jesus and his parents: Could you explain to me (including Biblical references): a) How old was Joseph and was he never married, divorced or widowed, if previously married did he have any offsprings from that marriage? b) When Jesus was missing (age 12), where did his parents leave his younger siblings when they traveled each year to the Temple?, why was Jesus found alone--as any normal family younger brothers and sisters stick with the older ones (especially during Christ's era: better family unity than today!), why is there no mention of Mary leaving the other children with her relatives in order to look for Jesus? c) Jesus is mentioned as Mary's son--the other brothers and sisters are not labeled in the same manner--they are simply called Jesus' brothers and sisters, not Mary's other children. d) On the cross--did Jesus err or did He hate his brothers and sisters so much that He gave His mother away to one of His disciples (who happens to have a brother named James)?, should Jesus not have thought about His brothers and sisters being able to tend to His mother better than John?, did He not think that at least one of His brothers or sisters would be hurt by his decision? e) Would proving or disproving Mary's state (virgin; not a virgin), grant anyone absolution and forviness of sin, consequently salvation? God Bless! |

Items (a), (b), and (d) cannot be answered by Scripture; thus they call for speculation. Item (c) is a statement bereft of scriptural reference. ..... Comment on item (e): Mary was a virgin when she conceived and gave birth to Jesus (Matthew 1:18, 23); but Scripture gives one absolutely no reason to infer that she remained a virgin for the rest of her life. It is Christ, not His mother, in whom alone is vested the power to forgive sins and effect human salvation (see Acts 4:12; John 14:6. Warmly, --Hank | ||||||

Hi, Hank! My point exactly. Why do we seek to waste time speculating about things that serve no purpose? Though there are many chronoligal factors, the Bible is not a historical record book. And if we are to speculate, how troublesome would be our Lord's silent years (ages 12 through 30?)? There' s a movie out there depicting the Child Jesus performing miracles, etc... How it came to be?, don't know and frankly don't care! What I do know is that just before His first recorded miracle Jesus told His mother (paraphrase) What's it to me; it is not my time yet! So if Christ testifies that, as a grown adult, it was not His time to reveal Himself, why would He as a child perform miracles (basically parlor tricks for those who, as children themselves, would be witnessing them) that would bring Him to the attention of the whole village? Again, my intention was to refocus the attention of what we should be searching and striving for--speculation has lead to the History Channel's distorted accounts of the Bible's contents (i.e.: Jesus having kids with Mary; Lazarus being alive still; Jesus studying the various Assian religions to formulate His own teachings; Jesus being a schollar--not a simple carpenter; Jesus coming to America in the early 20th century, the list goes on...). Do I care about the answers to the posted questions? No!, knowing the answers would not add or substract from my religious belief. But if we (who are supposed to be spiritual) degrade our Forum, how can we demand any better from those who are not believers, those who are confused, those who are purposely seeking to confuse the novice? What wisdom should we be searching? Paul was quick to point it out for us: (1 Corinthians 1:21-31). God Bless! |
