Did Jesus have any sibblings?

[Scott Bernard]

.. Coz in terms of Jesus being human, i have a lot of disturbing ideas about how life it is during jesus' time that would make the religious think twice, hehehhe

I'm also open to that thought of Jesus being a normal human before doing His work. Naa lang uban religious dili sila maka accept ana, and even think it as a heresy. I'm even open, but not totally convinced, with the "Mary Magdalene" story.

But, I am a Roman Catholic... modern, open minded lang, and not totally a "blind faith" follower.

he is actually the only begotten son of the father and with his mother we are his brothers and sisters.

ginoo man si jesus espiritually pero normal pod sya nga tawo diri sa makamundong earth. infact nakafeel sya ug kauhaw when naa sya sa krus. nakafeel pod kaha sya ug kalibog kang mary magdalena?

Mary and Joseph lead Holy lives like how priests and nuns live nowadays. In the Bible it was never mentioned that they were a couple in the human worldy sense. Jesus even mentioned that Joseph was not His Father because His Father was The Almighty.
To answer TS question: I believe wala xa siblings in the human worldy sense. But don't forget how He mentions us to be His brothers and sisters. So we are all His brothers and sisters in the Biblical sense hence He has siblings, but in human/scientific/biological wala since He is the only Son.

Besides to those who have Faith this question wouldn't matter. Faith is confidence or trust in someone, something or an entity. So whatever people say it wont change his belief in that specific entity which in this case is that Jesus did not have any biological sibling.

P.S. : sa mga tao nga nag-insulto sa relationship ni Mary og Joseph stating foul language or sexual innuendos about their relationship; SHAME ON YOU! we never insulted you yet you dare say something horrible to Holy People! you may not believe the same things we believe in but it does not award you the right to step on our beliefs! your parents are REALLY PROUD of what you do.

Matthew 1:24-25

"And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife,

but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus."


In my personal belief, even if I regard Mary to the highest level of humanity... it is quite possible that Joseph might have "marital and intimate" relationship with her. Traditional Catholics don't accept this theory... but it does not change how I adore and venerate the Mother of Jesus.

true, you have explained what I as a protestant views Mary.
She is a virgin when she bore Jesus but after that she bore his brother and sisters as a normal person.

Mary faithfully fullfiled her duty as with the prophets in the bible. More importantly she fullfiled the prophecy of Jesus' virgin birth.

Not much proof.

@ SCOTT BERNARD ...

I will explain the word UNTIL found in the statement " but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son " when I get home .

Some points are to be taken lang about " traditional Catholics " , who are these people ? The RC's of today or the RC's way back ?

Also , when we say :

- after that she bore his brother and sisters as a normal person.
- she fullfiled the prophecy of Jesus' virgin birth.

Is not this a ridiculous statement ?

[benicio]

NAT ridiculous. in pack, its a fact.
when you read the bible also think when the situation happen, what are the conditions like wala pay TV sauna, kalinganwan nila ay tan-aw lang sa stars.. mao bitaw nga usahay maghisgot ug constellations ang bibliya. Sauna, usa ra ka smile, mag uyog-uyog na dayon ang tent. lol

Pagkagawas ni jesus syempre di na virgin. bungkad na kaayo ug sound ig-ihi Tiwasan pa jud ni jose, solb!
Way kalainan and RC's of today and the RC's way back. Wa gani kasabot sa depensya sa balaud ni moises kontra sa balaud ni jesus samot na sa life nila. Sakto?

[WengIA]

naay igsuon oi..simple logic lang maka.ingon jud kag naay igsuon si Jesus unya gisulti jud pud sa bible nga naa jud sya igsuon.

Kanang pagka birhen ni Maria pagsabak lang na niya ni Cristo. binuang man ng birhen gihapon siya pagkahuman niya og panganak ni Cristo unsa man diay buhaton sa couple magtinutukay ra?
