Arks of the Covenants. On a less controversial note about Mary, some may find the following example of an Old Testament foreshadowing or type fulfilled in the New Testament interesting. Exodus 40:34: "Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle." Luke 1:35: "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God"John 1:14 "And the Word was made flesh and dwelt (pitched his tent) among us." 2 Samuel 6:9 "How can the ark of the Lord come to me?" Luke 1:43 "And why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?" 2 Samuel 6:11 "The ark of the Lord remained for three months in the house." Luke 1:56 "And Mary remained with her about three months." 2 Samuel 6:16 "David leaping and dancing before the Lord." Luke 1:41 "The babe leapt in her womb." _________________________________________ Hebrews 9:4 "... the Ark of the Covenant...which contained a golden urn holding the manna and Aaron’s rod that budded, ...and the tables of the covenant." Exodus 16:32-34 Mary is the ark of the new covenant that carried the Word of God and the manna come down from heaven, the bread of life, Jesus, our great high priest. John 6:31-35 “Our fathers ate manna in the wilderness.... The bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world... I am the bread of life." |

"Yet, none of the verses you listed say that the brothers of Jesus were cousins, or that they were the sons of another Mary! This seems to be pure assumption of your part!" Tim, It is also an assumption that they are brothers and not cousins, since the greek "adelphous" is used in the New testament in both the sense of brother and kinsmen. See Matt 4:21-22 and Acts 9:17. See also the African American use of "brother" in our time, which is even broader. "Also, as Searcher56 pointed out, Mt. 1:25 clearly indicates that Joseph and Mary did have sexual relations after the birth of Jesus. The exact wording is, "He did not know her until she gave birth to a son!" Again you have a greek word "heos" (until) that does not necessarily mean that after a certain point in time, a different action occurred. See Matt 1:25, 1 Cor 15:25. You also have to assume sexual relations occurred in your interpretation, since it is not explicit in the pasaage cite.What is explicit is that they did not have sexual relations before the birth of Jesus. My point is that everyone brings a point of view or "presumptions" to their interpretation and that the Catholic interpretation is not unbiblical, but merely different from some Protestant interpretations, which in many cases disagree with one another on the interpretaion of some scripture passages. |

You are correct.I meant that the interpretation of Matt 13:55 is undone by Matt 27: 55 and Jude 1:1 |

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. |

Using anyone, even one's spouse, for selfish pleasure without regard for them as persons is sinful. That would begin with lust. It certainly is not love. | ||||||

Baptism is the circumcision of Christ by which enter the new Covenant. We are baptized in water by Christ's command in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Col 3:11-14, Matt 28:19-20, John 3:5,22, Acts 2:37, Acts 16:30-33, 1Peter 3:21, Romans 6:2-3. | ||||||

I am unaware of any explicit citations. It is implied in many indirect ways, but is nowhere explicit. We do not know all the ways that God may present the Gospel to a person, but we do know that we are commanded to preach the Gospel for the salvation of all men. The rest is God's business in His wisdom and mercy. | ||||||
