Jesus' Brothers, Sisters & Mother

Jesus' siblings are mentioned as accompanying Jesus and his mother to Capernaum after the marriage at Cana (John 2:12). Later Mary and these brothers are recorded as seeking an audience with Jesus (Matthew 12:46-50; Mark 3:31-35; Luke 8:19-21). Toward the end of Jesus' ministry, His brethren are mentioned as urging Jesus to prove His Messiahship, which they themselves doubted (John 7:3-5). That they were later converted is clear, for they are described in Acts as uniting with the disciples and others in "prayer and supplication" prior to Pentecost (Acts 1:13-14). Paul implies that they were all married (1 Corinthians 9:5).

Many commentators hold that the author of the epistle of Jude, who identifies himself as the "brother of James," was one of these brothers (Jude 1). It is also generally believed that the leader of the church at Jerusalem was James the brother of Jesus, (see Acts 12:17; 15:13). This seems to be confirmed by Paul's reference to his visit to Jerusalem, in which he states that he saw only Peter, and "James, the Lord's brother" (Galatians 1:18-19). http://www.bibleinfo.com/en/questions/did-jesus-have-any-brothers-andor-sisters


Goodness, haven't we learned that Christ/Yahusha is the image of the Unseen God, YHWH, who became a man to redeem mankind from Satan, who enticed Eve and later Adam to disobey YHWH, there-fore losing eternal life. He said he would come 5500 years later to redeem them and He did so right on time.

Once it was accomplished that a Virgin would conceive this Savior of His people, there was no reason for her to remain a perpetual virgin but to go on to become a wife to Joseph as was the purpose of marriage. To keep her elevated to virgin is playing into the hands of those that want to share what Christ alone did with another. Read Jeremiah 10, the whole chapter and you will see what Yahuah thought about the Queen of Heaven. He warned his people NOT to have anything to do with her.
