In what way would a second child, from Mary, REDUCE the importance of JESUS?
She got famous because she delivered what is considered, by some, to be God's GREATEST GIFT: The baby Jesus. But, consider this: If the postman delivers to YOU a gift from your grandparents, the largest monetary gift you've ever received, and LATER, down the street, delivers some kid a card from his aunt & uncle with a bit of money in it, in what way does the second DELIVERY reduce the value of the first delivery?
In like manner, the birth of Joe Carpenter Jr., a year or more after the birth of Jesus, shouldn't make Jesus any less important, should it??
And yet, some people CLAIM that Mary HAD to remain a virgin, and DID, for her entire life. NEVER had plain old sex with her lawfully wedded husband. Why would people have that deep psychological need to BELIEVE that?

My point exactly. Even though the Bible says "brothers", SOME people INSIST that the Bible MEANT to say "kinfolk", as in cousins, or sons of Joseph's first wife, who died. Bible makes no mention of a previous wife.. Bible uses "COUSIN" to describe how Mary was related to the mother of John the Baptist.
I'm looking for someone who BELIEVES that she REMAINED a virgin, to explain to me WHY it would have been IMPORTANT for her to do so.

@Chi Girl: Please cite chapter and verse where this rumour about Mary is explained in unambiguous detail. BETTER YET: Please explain why YOU believe it is important that the rumour be TRUE!

Ma(Mark 1:16-19) 16 While walking alongside the Sea of Galʹi·lee, he saw Simon and Simon’s brother Andrew casting their nets into the sea, for they were fishermen. 17 So Jesus said to them: “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.” 18 And at once they abandoned their nets and followed him. 19 After going a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebʹe·dee and his brother John, while they were in their boat mending their nets, Mary did have sex with Joseph and they had a big family.
Whom do I contact about Jews killing 70 million in Soviet Union by gulags, famine, or shooting squads? How can Russian Orthodox get some justice?
Russian Orthodox Metropolitan Ioann Snychev was poisoned/murdered by Jew Putin (aka Shalomov) because he refused to work for Jews. KGB poisoned Putin; Putin died in 2007; now doubles (who wear latex masks) pretend to be Putin. Medvedev is David Aaronovich Mendel. Jews murdered Tsar Nicolas 2nd's family; Jews bled them for six hours according to ritual.
Tsar Nicolas' family was sacrificed byJews (theybled6hours); their remains were burnt; their blood drank; ashes from remains were sprinkled onto 50 hard-boiled eggs (dish called scido Amafreikis) [50 egg shells were found outside the place of ritual murder]. Also, decapitated Tsar's head (which was grey ... hair turned grey when he saw his kids being knifed).. Ritualistic murder.. (blood libel is same thing as anti-Semitism ... a lie by Jews to flee justice). Jews came up that Tsar's family was shot. Tsar appeared to warn that whosoever worships false remains will become possessed by demons (this just happened like a decade ago .. maybe less)… Jews collect heads of leaders because they believe in reincarnation.
How about Jews coming up with a mocking holiday April 1st because resurrection of Jesus happened on that day? Jews came up with mocking holidays 23 February (Day of Soviet Army) which was capitulation by cowards in Tsar’s army… or March 8 (international Woman’s day) which celebrates lesbian/prostitute Klara Tsetkin and Rosa Luxembourg.
Three biggest saints in heaven (in this order): Theotokos Virgin Mary, John the Baptist, and Tsar Nicolas 2nd
Four biggest sinners in hell (in this order from the bottom of hell moving up to our level): Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin
You could joke that Marx is a bigger sinner than Engels because Marx fooked Engels but how is Lenin bigger sin than Stalin when Lenin was fooked by Zinoviev (even by Bronstein once)?
Lenin's brain was the size of walnut. He had syphilis. Was alcoholic. Born from incest degenerate family. Was in insane asylum. Wife Kruspkaya was probably lesbian 'cause what normal woman would stay with him?
According to RussianOrthodoxresearcher Grigoriy Klimov, three stages of degeneracy are
1)sodomy (69, anal, oral, masturbation, pedophilia, incest, necrophilia, beastiality, orgies, hand job, bj, even all non-missionary positions between husband and wife, etc.)
2)insane asylum
3)physical deformities in kids (eyes looking at different angles, wolf jaw, rabbit lip, horse foot, different length limbs, etc.)
all these accompanied by drug/alcohol abuse
Jews have like six times more degenerates than other nations because they don't have monkhood. Jewish degenerates become politicians (or similar high rank in society). In Germany during Hitler time, it was eight times. Hitler, Stalin (aka Jugashvilli which means son of Jew), Roosevelt, Churchill were all Jewish degenerates. Hitler had many Jewish coworkers as homosexual partners. Stalin was expelled from seminary for sodomy.
A few centuries ago, angel appeared to Orthodox Christian community and said not to buy from Jews at bazaar because it's sprinkled with blood (something like that)
Elimination of comments on Yahoo Answers means that Project Pogo is completed. Now, Project Zyphr will initiate in winter. They will turn off electricity for a few days to gather dissidents into underground concentration camps. The remaining people will be chipped. Only marked people will receive food in closed stores. So, when people sign up for food, gov't clerk presses secret button to administer the unforgivable mark of the beast. Hide within 10-15 people group (saints Gabriel Urgebadze and Serafim of Sarov); no documents; no electronics.
After spending nine years being educated in the temple, Mary dedicated her life to God at age twelve and had resolved to be a lifelong virgin. Since she needed support and protection, Joseph was found to take on that role. The word used in the Bible DOES mean "kin" as opposed to "siblings." Proof that she had no other children is Jesus on the cross entrusting her care to non relative John.
And MILLIONS of people know she remained a virgin.
