Perpetual virginity of Mary!

[JLB]

The sacred womb of Mary is the temple of the most high God!

Only the high priest may enter into the holy temple!

Christ alone enters this temple not made with human hands.

Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 1 Corinthians 3:16

James the Lord’s brother was not of the twelve, just as Paul wasn’t of the twelve.

according to Saint Jerome (witness acts 1:8) there are only two James

the son of zebedee and the son of Alphaeus mt 10:2-3

thats why they are referred to as the greater and the less

Thank goodness we have scripture and the Spirit of truth to guide us.

what happened to Christ and His holy church!

heb 1:1-3
1 tim 3:15

Again, if you want to be taken seriously please post a scripture and make your point from the actual words of scripture.


Posting scripture references without any actual scripture and placing your opinion next to them doesn’t help anyone to understand anything.


Let’s start with immaculate conception.


Please quote a scripture that teaches us about immaculate conception and what it means, so we have something to study and evaluate.

gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Ok.

Please explain immaculate conception so we all know what that terms means.


Then explain how Genesis 3:15 teaches us immaculate conception.

I’ve already dealt with this but you ignored it. There are at least three with the name James. Acts 1:8 is irrelevant.

“We declare, pronounce, and define that the doctrine which holds that the most Blessed Virgin Mary, in the first instance of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege granted by Almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the human race, was preserved free from all stain of original sin.

gen 315 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

enmity between Mary and satan
total war
none of his filthy works are found in her!

Jerome says just two greater and lesser

Thank you for answering and posting a scripture.


However, Mary was not sinless.

And? Does that mean Jerome is right? Why did you ignore my argument? Here it is again:

There are at least three named James. Jesus's family didn't believe in him and so were not among his disciples.

Mar 3:16 He appointed the twelve: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter);
Mar 3:17 James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James (to whom he gave the name Boanerges, that is, Sons of Thunder);
Mar 3:18 Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot,
Mar 3:19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
Mar 3:20 Then he went home, and the crowd gathered again, so that they could not even eat.
Mar 3:21 And when his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for they were saying, “He is out of his mind.” (ESV)

Again:

Mat 10:2 The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
Mat 10:3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
Mat 10:4 Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. (ESV)

Mat 12:46 While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him. (ESV)

So, we can clearly see that his family did not believe in him as they did not follow him. Therefore, none of the disciples, including James the son of Alphaeus, were a brother (in any sense) to Jesus.

This is confirmed shortly after:

Mat 13:53 And when Jesus had finished these parables, he went away from there,
Mat 13:54 and coming to his hometown he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works?
Mat 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 and Judas?
Mat 13:56 And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” (ESV)

The context is that of family, immediate family, including his father, mother, brothers, and sisters who are known in his hometown. James, the brother of Jesus, is not one of the twelve.
