As for Mary and whether or not she had other children, the bible does say that she did. Look up Matthew 13:55.

i'll forgive your stupidity...
but i don't take that to mean those are Mary's kids... in those days, they referred to close friends as brothers...

yes, but if you look at the sentence with the one around it talking about his mother, father, sister, etc...you could assume he is talking about family and what not

Bronco, the issue about whether or not Jesus had any brothers stems from the Catholic idea of Mary remaining a virgin her entire life. A small step toward the many things that lead to prayers to Mary, which Southern baptists and like religions disagree with as the Bible says that Jesus is the only way to the Father (John 14:6). And as mentioned earlier, this verse nullifies the requirement to pray to a priest to be forgiven of sins.

A Roman Catholic will tell you that they pray THROUGH Mary and the Saints. They don't pray TO them.
Catholics have a lot of Church Tradition that may or may not be Biblical. (Same as most Christian denomonations.)

Just an interjection here but has anyone else read ~ Holy Blood, Holy Grail ~ by Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, Henry Lincoln.

no, i haven't.
and yes, farmboy is correct. We believe that certain saints have a better "pull" at certain things... St. michael will help battle demons, for example. He goes to God and says "hey, Man, this girl has demon problems, wanna give her a hand?"

I think that's the biggest load of crap! Why can't i just talk right to God and be forgiven.
and i like the foot washing thing, only i don't like feet... :scared:

The Bible in NO place says you are to confess your sins to a priest and he will convey your sins to God. I speak Greek,Latin and Hebrew ..and have translated several Bibles....
be watchful of what your told.
secondly the Catholic Bible does have ADDED books that were rejected by Christians. Bible also states clearly mary was married. I dont know about you...but if i was married to a woman and we did not pertake in certin events...i dont know what i would do.... she was a Virgin while giving birth to Christ...not her whole life.
