Let’s please keep the discussion scripturally sound, and cordial.
If you really want to do that then you have blown it already by introducing three major topics.
It's had enough to keep a thread focused on one topic.
If you want the Catholic perspective then there are these threads already:
Mary The Mother of God
Mary - Ever Virgin
There is plenty of scripture in the links I gave.I gave scripture. I dont follow man's doctrine.
Christian's follow Jesus Christ and His words.
If you cant show any scripture to back your sect's teachings them I would encourage you to please consider what Jesus and His apostles taught.

Walpole has just answered that one in the other Mary thread about Mary ever-virgin. Post #316Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas? And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?”

I have received answers from the Truth. If you choose to disregard the truth and teach doctrine that is not from Christ then that is between you and the Lord.
Mary had sons, and daughters.
Then His mother and brothers came to Him, and could not approach Him because of the crowd. And it was told Him by some, who said, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, desiring to see You.”
But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.” Luke 8:19-21

Your points are shown to be false in the link I gave.
There is nothing false about scripture - just your interpretation.Which one of these two points do you find to be false?

Again, no one is denying Jesus has brothers. For you have been showed numerous times now the term "brother" in Jewish antiquity had a much broader meaning than a uterine or agnate sibling. This is further evidenced in the Scriptures themselves. Notice how NO ONE is called a child of Mary, save Jesus. There is NO scripture which identifies another as a son (or daughter) of Mary.If you have a scripture that you believe teaches us Mary didn’t have other children then please post the scripture here and I and others will examine your scripture, so we can all be aware of it.
Here are a couple of scriptures that show us that Mary did had other children after Jesus.
Please show your scriptures that teach us that Mary did not have other children after Jesus.

See the links I and Walpole gave for why.

The idea that Jesus had uterine siblings is completely foreign to Scripture and Christianity.
