But if you would put aside catholic doctrines and read your bible solely to form your own mind independent of cathoilic doctrines, you would see what every bible follower and believer has seen.

Because of repetitions in grained even from birth, the word brainwashed truly applies to catholics. So, you are catholicized and you need to be decatholicized to be able to see clearly.

And you need to take your opportunity of re-viewing things you have been taught/brainwashed when you did not have an opportunity to make an informed judgment on all.

That is the first step if you want to.see clearly and know God's Truth as different from your truth (delusions) and from Rome's/Pope's/catholic truth.

In the catholic church,they call mary mother of Jesus `virgin mary'.but in the bible matthew13:55.the bible called the names of Jesus brothers.so what still make mary mother of Jesus a virgin when she have other children?

The historic Christian believe is that Mary had no other children after Jesus. Every historic church that has 1000 years on earth or can trace itself back to the apostles all agree on this. This includes the Catholic church, the orthodox church, the Assyrian church,the Ethiopian Orthodox church, The Coptic Church, the Oriental Church etc.

This is because every church that can trace itself back to the apostles, hold that this belief is apostolic tradition. Put simply, it is what the apostles taught.
It is not explicitly mentioned in the bible, however it is implied. For example at the cross Jesus gave his Mother to John. The Jewish practice is that your junior sibling takes care of your mother if you die early. You only give your mum to someone else if you have no siblings.
The theological reason is that it befits the dignity of God. To understand this you might need to read Ezk 44:1-5
And the Lord said to me, “This gate shall remain shut; it shall not be opened, and no one shall enter by it, for the Lord, the God of Israel, has entered by it. Therefore it shall remain shut.

It befits the dignity of God that someone God has set his glory upon, become set apart from normal use. So a Jew will not use a plate from the temple to eat in his house. Joseph was a Jew who knew that God's has overshadowed Mary (the literal meaning is that God spread his garment over her). She thus becomes set apart from what would be the normal everyday use of a wife.
However, that Mary remained a virgin is not explicitly stated in the bible, the churches that hold this teaching are those that can trace themselves back to the apostles and they will tell you that the certainty for this is apostolic tradition.

Now to your question,
One cannot conclude from the bible either that Jesus had other siblings from Mary, because the word translated as "brothers and sisters" is also used in the bible to mean uncle, nephew, cousin, relative and kinsmen. The ancient Jews used to speak like most Africans who will call their relatives "brother or sisters". More interesting they are never mentioned as children of Mary and if you read the new testament well, you might even see the parents of those people.

Calling Mary 'Virgin Mary' isn't about her life after Jesus birth but the position she was before giving birth to Christ.

Well I presume Catholic holds the position of Mary never gave birth to another being apart from Jesus Christ, which in itself has nothing to do with Salvation brought by Jesus Christ.

That should be the most pressing issue!

Actually those who call Mary Virgin are very clear that they mean she was a virgin before Jesus and remained so after Jesus was born.
This is an old Christian belief that you'll find across Christian history

Mathew 1:25

25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.

First born means she had second born and the bible shows she had other borns too.
No Sir, first born is a designation according to the law of Moses. The first born is the child that opens the womb. Ex 13 says "Consecrate every firstborn male to me, the firstborn from every womb among the Israelites, both man and domestic animal; it is mine". As you may notice the biblical definition of a firstborn is not the one who has a second born, the first born is the child that opens the womb. He is first born even if he is only son. So please, first born does not necessarily imply a 2nd born in the bible.

The bible was never written to be read solely. It contains writings addressed to communities. The new testament was mainly addressed to the churches, people who were already taught and already believed by words of preaching. It takes its meaning in the church to which it is addressed

Well it's not even logical to think that Mary remains VIRGIN after giving birth and I never see where scripture talks about miraculous delivery during Jesus birth.

I think that is because some parts of the scripture talk about brother of Jesus Christ.

Well back then the term 'brother' can mean many things.

I don't understand, is Jesus not already the first who opened Mary's matrix?

So, The Law is already fulfilled. And this is not the issue.

The issue is did Mary have sex and had other children?

And Mathew, Mark, John,, answers yes, she did for Joseph knew Mary as a married man must do and had 6 other children.

And besides, having children is a proof that God was pleased with her for barreness is a Curse and having one child would not cut it.

Further, the bible never said Joseph's only child which it did when it was True. It even went as far as naming the other children Mary had., so i'm sorry, you are Wrong!

This is obviously an old Lie!

Is a woman who has given birth still be a virgin? .That is does the birthing not remove her virginity?

And this is of course aside the fact that she had other children.

But if you do google research,it said that mary had no children accept Jesus.is it that the same word use for brethen is also used for relatives in Jew language

Google does not know anything. It is only showing what someone/people have said or believe.

But common natural sense shows that she did have children as the bible did Say.

If you claim brethren and relative then Elizabeth proves you wrong for the bible explicitly tells us that she was Mary's relative.

And the bible shows us that brethren clearly means "brothers" and it always goes further to show us the family and lineage of the brothers if they are not of the same lineage

So, we know who those brothers and siblings having the same parents different from those relatives having different parents.

So, brethren/relative defence does not stand.

First and foremost Matt 13:55 does not say Mary had other children it says Jesus has other aldophos which can be translated as relatives.


As for the Protestant belief that Mary had other kids, it's very funny because the early protestants disagree. For instance Martin Luther, Zwingli, Thomas Cranmer, Wollebius, Bullinger, John Wycliffe and John Wesley all agree with Catholics and all ancient Christianity that Mary was a perpetual virgin. Because anyone who has read Christian history knows that by the time the church was defining doctrines like trinity, it was also clear to all Christians that Mary was a perpetual virgin.
However later protestants believe in a more serious version of sola scriptura which can only be more clearly called solo scriptura....so many modern protestants will tell you that unless a thing is clearly stated in the bible, it is not true.
That is the problem, the perpetual virginity of mary is not explicitly stated in the bible.
This is the same reason why older protestants like Lutherans and Anglicans baptise babies, but newer protestants don't, because they will say, unless you show me exactly where a baby was baptised in the bible then it isn't true.
Those who use a kind of solo scriptura tend to interpret the bible as if it is a stand alone book, they forget that it is addressed to a church that was already a believing community, and the bible was never written to explicitly cover every Christian practice or everything Jesus did. If you want to see every Christian practice and what the apostles taught even before they started to write letters, then you need to read up the early Christian writing and the traditions of the churches that trace tbeir foundation directly to the apostles.

No sir,
You seated in your room are not those people, you don't have access to all what tha apostles said to them before sending them letters, you don't have access to all their practices either by simply reading the bible. Because the bible was never written to contain every Christian practice.
The practices were already established in those Christian communities by the apostles and they were already taught by the apostles before they sent letters to those communities.

You might have a chance to experience what they experienced if you belonged to a church that traces itself directly to the apostles, then you will know the apostolic practices passed down and be able to read the letters in the same way in early church read them, in an already believing and practicing community
