Question
Thank you so much for your time. And i got another question. Did Jesus got brothers or sisters, by this i mean did Mary got more sons besides Jesus? Thank you again.        Carlos B.

Answer
Dear Carlos B.,

According to the Scriptures Mary had at the least 7 children, Our Lord, 4 other boys and at least two girls.

    Matthew 13:55-56  Is not this the carpenter's son? is not
    his mother called Mary? and HIS BRETHREN, JAMES, AND JOSES,
    AND SIMON, AND JUDAS?  56  And HIS SISTERS, are they not all
    with us? Whence then hath this [man] all these things?

This of course in contrary to what some teach, but as it has been aptly put, "If it ain't Bible, it ain't truth."

I hope this helps.

Your Servant In Christ Jesus,

Expertise

The Bible contains an answer to all things necessary to life and salvation. We many times simple do not like the answer it gives. But, if your seeking the truth of God`s word, I can give my opinion and show from the Scriptures the basis for why I believe it is the correct interpretation of the Bible on most questions.

I have been a student of the Bible for over 25 years.
