Question
Was mary a virgin all her life did she bare any children after Jesus. Did Joseph and her children.
Dear Benjamin,
Thanks for writing. Catholics explain away the Bible's references to Jesus' brothers and sisters, but the real issue is that Mary is not part of the Godhead, and any worship of Mary is very much against what the Bible teaches. The only human that didn't sin was Jesus, because His Father is not human. The only Way to God is through Jesus, not through Mary, nor through a priest. God supernaturally provided and preserved His Word, the Bible, for us to know Him, our Creator, so we could reflect His glorious image (which is why we were created Genesis 1:26). Mary acknowledged her need for a Savior (Luke 1:47) as we all need to.
May we live to glorify God!

I have time for you. The Bible has been my guiding light for most of the 56 years of my life. My missionary parents in Brazil kindled a love for God`s Word by their example and their love for truth. The Lord has blessed my husband and me with responsible, independent children who love and serve the Lord and are our best friends. I would enjoy discussing any subject or problem from a Biblical perspective.
Experience
I help lead music in a small Southern Baptist Church. Although I rarely have the opportunity to play, I do play the bass guitar, drums, tambourine, harmonica and piano. I like Southern Gospel and praise choruses, but only know by heart the words from the hymnal, and my vocal range is half an octave lower than most music is written, but fortunately my husband transposes well and also plays by ear.
