Subject: Half Brothers and Sisters of Jesus? |
Bible Note: Moran61: Tim this is a fascinating dialogue. Junmeskie presents some information that is most interesting. Frankly I have never really heard the Catholic side of Mary being a Virgin her whole life. He does present a solid case for why he believes as her does, and that is unusual from anyone I have ever asked about this before. I respect his view even though I am of the typical Protestant understanding that Mary gave birth to sons and daughtes after Jesus Christ was born. To be sure we are left wondering how the family of Jesus as close as they were could reject Jesus. I prefer to hope that the were saved. That's as good a thought as any. There is much about the childhood and the family of Joseph and Mary that we are left to simply wonder about. Surely just because His half brothers and sisters are not mentioned about their service to Christ does leave one to draw speculations that are just a guess. Thanks Tim for your response, blessings. justme |
