I should have explained my question in more detail,yes,Mary was a virgin when she bore Jesus but after His birth and her purification time she did have martial relations with Joseph.This person is catholic and thinks Mary stayed a virgin after she bore Jesus. Did Jesus have brothers and sisters after He was born? Sorry,I should have checked my question before sending it.Thanks again. |

Shadow, You may find the following Scriptural explanation of the Catholic view of interest if you are still in dialogue with your Catholic friend. The Catholic position is not unbiblical. It is a matter of which tradition of interpretation you accept. Mary, Ever Virgin: Ezekiel 44:2 "And the Lord said to me, 'This gate shall remain shut; it shall not be opened, and no one shall enter by it; for the Lord, the God of Israel, has entered by it; therefore it shall remain shut." Early Christians recognized this passage as a prophecy of Mary's perpetual virginity, a doctrine that even the Protestant Reformers Luther and Calvin accepted. Gospel references to the "brothers and sister of Jesus" implying other children of Mary do not hold up under close examination. Matthew 13:55 is undone by Matt 28:1 and 27:55 and John 19:25 and Jude 1:1 which points out that James and Joseph and Jude, the "brothers of Jesus " are in fact cousins and the sons of another Mary. It is also interesting to note that nowhere in scripture is anyone described as a son or daughter of either Mary or Joseph other than Jesus. Only Jesus is ever described as the "son of Mary" of Nazareth. There are references to the brothers or sister of Jesus, but the original words used in those contexts can be found in other places in scripture where they are without doubt used to describe kin in a broader sense: i.e., Genesis 14:14 29:15, 1Cor 15:6, Rom 8:29, 1 Peter 5:2, Mark 6:4. In the Greek Old Testament, the Septuagint: 1 Mac 9:44; 11:73; 12:27,28; 28: 13:52; 15:52; 15:16; 2 Mac.11: 20; Proverbs 13:21. In the Hebrew OT the same usage is found: Gen 14:14 and Gen 29:15. You can use the King James Version for these references except for the Macabees which are now left out of the King James, but which were in the original 1611 version of the King James, a fact she can even be confirmed through Protestant sources. If Jesus had brother and sister, why would he give his mother to John at the foot of the cross? This would be a serious violation of Jewish custom, in which the children were responsible to take care of their widowed mother. |

Scripture ... Eze 44:1-4; Matt 1:25, 12:46-50, 13:55; Mark 3:31-35, 6:3; Luke 8:19-21, John 7:3-10; Acts 1:14; 1 Cor 9:5; Gal 1:19 Ezekiel 44:2 is about the eastern gate of Jerusalem (vs 1). Verse 3 talks about the Lord going in and out. Then verse 4 talks about the north gate. How does this fit Mary, as well as the rest of the context? I believe the Greek contruct indicates the Joseph had sex with Mary after she gave birth (Matt 1:25). There are many passages that talk about His brothers, and sometimes siters (Matt 12:46-50, 13:55; Mark 3:31-35, 6:3; Luke 8:19-21;Acts 1:14; 1 Cor 9:5; Gal 1:19). "Matt 28:1 and 27:55 and John 19:25" only talk about the Mary's ... I think there were three. Jude 1:1 ... Jude nor James ever refer to themselves as the brother of Jesus, but others do, as we have seen. I am not sure why Mary was given to John. Maybe he was the only one around ... or he was a believer at the time and they weren't. Yes, brother, son and other family names can be used in a broad sense ... but, it does make sense here.
