    St. Mary . . .

    I would say Jesus Christ was the first born of the grace of God.

    St. Mary . . .

    Luke 2:7 says Mary gave birth to her first born son. So Jesus was the first born of Mary suggesting Mary had other children. I don't know what you mean by Mary was the first born of the church. The Bible says Jesus Christ is the beginning, the first born among the brethren, meaning the church...

    St. Mary . . .

    People who knew Jesus when he was growing up knew his mother and his father and his brothers and his sisters. Mt. 13:55 Why would they name Mary's sister's sons his brothers? You say, brother(s) had a much wider meaning back then. Was James the brother of John? So brother means brother most of...

    Nothing you have written has any Scriptural support. Ever wonder why?

    St. Mary . . .

    If the Mary in Mt. 27 and Mk. 15:40 was Mary's sister then she had two sons, James and Joseph. But Mary the mother of Jesus had four sons besides Jesus, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas (no relation to Judas Iscariot). So you have James the brother of Jesus Gal. 1:18 and James the son of...

    St. Mary . . .

    Re. His brothers, there's no verse that says 'son of Mary'. But Mt. 13:55 includes his brothers - "and are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?" So in identifying the parents of Jesus it follows logically that Joseph and Mary are the parents of the brothers as well. Whether...

    Sorry. His neighbours didn't know his spiritual brothers.

    St. Mary . . .

    The issue is did Mary have other children? The answer is yes, according to his neighbours, the people who knew him and his mother and his father and his brothers. Matthew 13:55 "Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon...

    It was God's will that Joseph should marry Mary and they should raise the child Jesus. Anything more than that is just your imagining.

    St. Mary . . .

    The 'other' mothers would have had children of their own. There was the other Mary, the mother of James the younger and Joses, and there was the mother of the sons of Zebedee, John and James. And there was Mary's sister, apparently also named Mary, the wife of Clopas. Jn. 19:25 Apparently Mary...

    St. Mary . . .

    We have the book Isa. prophesied. We have the word of God. Why are you trying to explain what the Bible says? Are you free of the book or are you chained to it yourself?

    St. Mary . . .

    24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took his wife, 25 but knew her not until she had borne a son; and he called his name Jesus. Mt.1:24-25 The Bible says Joseph didn't know his wife until Mary had borne a son. So Joseph knew his wife. So then Mary...

    St. Mary . . .

    JosephT Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? 56 And are not all his sisters with us? Mt. 13:55,56 Just so you know Jesus had brothers and sisters. Maybe I shouldn't have said Mary was 'just' a woman. She...

    St. Mary . . .

    To magnify the Lord is to make his name great. To enlarge his name. To exalt his name. Psalm 34:3 O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together! Psalm 69:30 I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify him with thanksgiving. So she is saying how great God is.

    St. Mary . . .

    18 In that day the deaf shall hear the words of a book, and out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind shall see. Isa. 29:18 This is so that anyone who can read can know the truth, and can know what is true and what is false. And the truth is Mary was just a woman, nothing...

    Believing in Wrong Doctrine: Will I lose my salvation?

    I'm saying his word saves. Jesus gave us the doctrine of salvation, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 Regarding incorrect doctrine. Yes, incorrect doctrine will have an effect just as correct...

    Believing in Wrong Doctrine: Will I lose my salvation?

    If the doctrine isn't the word of God, then it doesn't have the power to save. But if we hold onto the word, 'all that the Father gives me will come to me; and him that comes to me I will not cast out.' John 6:37 Then we have reason to rejoice. Our faith will save us because we have put our...

    Be in Christ???

    To be in Christ and to be in the light, same thing, to be enlightened. You have the knowledge of God, the mind of Christ. So as God forms light so Christ (he is our light) is formed in us. Gal. 4:19 And so we are in Christ. Or we are in Christ who is in us. John 12:36 While you have the light...

    Belief and Faith

    I would add we were created to do good. It's not that works are necessary or not necessary. Born again believers do good, not as a requirement, but because they are born again believers. Born again believers don't pass judgment others. Born again believers abide in Christ. Born again believers...

    Belief and Faith

    I said, "When we do what's in our hearts." I'm talking about doing good. Born again believers are always ready to do good. It's in our nature. The issue is whether we are saved by works or by the power of God. I believe we are saved by the power of God. Romans 3:23-25 Revised Standard Version...
