THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF JESUS ACCORDING TO NON-CATHOLICS

THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF JESUS ACCORDING TO
NON-CATHOLICS- EXCEPT THE EASTERN ORTHODOXY

DID ST. MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS CHRIST HAVE A LOT OF CHILDREN IN THE FLESH?

There is not a passage in the bible where it says Mary these are your children

nor a passage that says these are the children of Mary- you must remember that

Jesus was the only Son of Mary


Protestant will say that Joseph never had any relations with Mary until she gave birth to Jesus.

if we were to follow this argument and give a conclusion that the protestant says that Joseph had

sexual relations after Jesus was born.


Then Jesus will not be with us after the end of time-

Jesus said in Matthew 26:20 "FOR I am with you always until the end of the world"

So Jesus will not be with us after the end of time or the world . right Harlan and Joel??



The virgin is with a child and bears a son-
Isa 7:14-

"a son"- here means that the virgin will give birth to a baby boy- not a baby girl

Protestants will say - a son means one of the children-

when Jesus was an adult- here is what the Bible said:
Isnt he "THE SON" and not "a son" of but a carpenter from Nazareth?

"This gate shall be kept shut, No one will open it or go through it ,since the GOD OF ISRAEL has been through it"-

the Lord Jesus Christ will pass through it and be born in the flesh. EZ 44:2


If these men named James, Judas, Simon , and Josph were sons of Mary and brothers of Jesus then they are the
natural sons of Joseph, if their fathers was Joseph, the husband of Mary.


But we can read in the bible that there were only two persons names James.

The first James was the brother of St. John the beloved apostle, both are the sons of ZEBEDEE mAT 10:2

and the other James was the brother of Judas; these men were the sons of Alpheus ang the namw Alpheus in GREEK

IS CLEOPHAS -luke 6:15-16


Another proof based on the bible is that these men named Judas and James who are said to be the brothers of Jesus

were from a different father who is Alpheus and not Joseph.


"On entering the city , they went to the room upstairs where they were staying .

Present there were Peter ,John James Andrew ,Philip , Thomas Bartolimew ,Matthew and James son of Alpheus;

Simon the Zealot and judas, son of James" (Acts 1:13).

And as to Joseph it can be seen clearly as to whos was his mother. It was not Mary who was the mother of Jesus.


Mark the evangelist has this to say," there were also some women watching from a distance; among them were

Mary Magdalene, Mary the Mother of James the younger and Joseph and Salome" Mark 15:40


Let us remember that these women were far from the cross where Jesus was nailed.

While they were going nearer the cross , one can see that there stood Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ,at the

foot of the cross, and this other Mary the aunt of Jesus. "Near the cross of Jesus stood His mother, His mother's

sister Mary, who was the wife of CLEOPHAS, and MARY OF MAGDALENE -jOHN 19:25.


AS it is alredy said from the start that this Mary, who is the sister of the mother of Jesus, is the wife

of CLEOPHAS, which is GREEK term for ALPHEUS who is the father of James, Judas and Joseph.

Now it is clear that these men were just cousins of Jesus.not brothers who are of the same mother and father.

The old testament said that the Jews customarily practiced calling brother those of the nearest kin but not

necessarily brother in the FLESH.

ABRAHAM calls LOT who is his nephew, BROTHER. GEN 29:13-15

ST PAUL CALLS ALL HIS NEAREST RELATIVES AS BROTHERS ROM 9:3



The jews do not have a word for cousins , uncle,auntie, or GRANDFATHER-, only FATHER-AB and MOTHER-ACK

their vocabulary was very limited- that is why they adopted the GREEK writing and reading during the

HELLENISTIC PERIOD-GREEK INFLUENCE ON THEM.

Thus it was unavoidable that during the time of Jesus ,a ll cousins and realtives were also called brothers and
sisters.

And even in the masuretic manuscripts-(HEBREW) WE WILL FIND THAT ABSENCE OF VOWELS AND PUNCTUATIONS.


LUKE NOT A JEW WHO WROTE TO THE GENTILES- had to be specific- HE CALLED THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF JESUS

AS HIS "RELATIVES"- but on the subsequent verse we will find because this was in JERUSALEM- A JEW REPLIED

as LUKE quoted him in his gospel- "HERE ARE YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS"- which LUKE earlier describes as

"HIS RELATIVES"

WHILE MATTHEW A JEW WROTE IN HIS GOSPEL "the brothers and sisters of JESUS "

bOTH WERE WRITIN ON THAT SIMILAR INCIDENT IN THEIR GOSPELS


Another strong indication that Jesus had not brother in the flesh is that while Jesus was dying on the cross,

he commended his mother to St. John , the youngest apostle, And from that day on John took Mary into his own home

John 19:27, if JESUS had a younger brother why is that Jesus did not turn his Mother over to him and let them go
home because during that time Joseph his foster father was already dead. It was also customary to the Jews by Law

that the second child must take care of his widowed father or mother.


Instead he he left his mother to the care of John the apostle that he loved indicating that Jesus had no brother

nor a sister.

This is a blasphemous attack on the BLESSED VIRGIN MARY TO SAY THAT SHE HAD MANY CHILDREN IN THE FLESH

THUS SAYS THE BIBLE-
