so what is the problem - just with Mary - when in fact we are all saved before we are born - all that is required is that we accept, hold on and not reject or deny our free gift - that Mary fulfilled all these requirements is beyond question or doubt - wincam

so how about bowing down and praying to two pieces of dead wood and mouldy old dough - wincam

it could even better not be - so why have you chosen one out of the two options - wincam

unlike most Christians I simply simply believe which it seems, rightly according to Jesus most Christian adults simply simply find very difficult if not impossible to do - the simple answer for me is as at Jn. 20:31 - wincam

who knows for sure = simple enough answer = could easily have been Mary's sister wife of Cleopas/Alphaeas - wincam

scripture at Jn.6 definately references it as the body of Christ - walk the walk and talk the talk - wincam

it is the price Mary had to pay for Joseph's cover up - which would have had dire consequences then as even now - wincam ditto as above

wrong forum but no matter /Siblings also include relatives = Oxford dictionary this was the price or part of the deal to Joseph's cover up imho - wincam btw it seems His siblings being younger than Him were hostile to their elder brother and showed it by refusing to claim His body for burial or to providing their so called mother with a home - give over and come home now - wincam

of course like most Protestants you would, no doubt, claim inspiration for your interpretation via the HS but deny inspiration to Catholics and especially the Pope - wincam

Cross = idolatry = worshipping and praying to two pieces of dead wood - Crucifix = crucifixion on one side and resurrection on the reverse and story above in four letters = INRI = Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews - wincam

Communion = mouldy old dough - Holy Communion= special holy ingredient = manna from heaven - wincam

the Catholic church rightly regards St.Joseph as guardian of the holy family and foster father of jESUS - btw has anyone heard about celibacy or eunuchs for God's sake - wincam

it seems the Christian God has a christian name and an ancestral name which He has ordered us to keep holy and He has told us that there is no other God but HE = Yoshua Yahweh is His name = Lk.1:31 and Ex.3:13-15 - there just is no God called Allah and He truly does not have a son for He just does not exist nor is there any other God - wincam

we could pardon the Jews in general for not knowing this but for Protestants it is not pardonable and a slur and a slight on the mother of Jesus and Jesus Himself - btw why did Mary have to be a virgin anyway - for the Jews Joseph was incorrectly really His father -Matt.13:55 - wincam

it matters not a hoot about all your profundities - it is still not in the bible - wincam

so why do you believe that because it is not stated and believe the other that is also not stated - wincam

yes - but I do not have access to the sources - it seems these were the children of the other Mary sister to His mother and the wife of Clopas[Jn.19:25] - wincam
