Its funny how Catholics raise such a fit over such a simple matter. The Scriptures give no reason why Mary should have remained a virgin. Having other children would have had no effect on Jesus. But having other children WOULD have an effect on the image of their Goddess, Mary; that is the heart of this issue. Catholics cannot stand the thought of lowering their "Mother Goddess" figure down to the level of an ordinary human (See answer from Lizrz and Jackie above). As for the evidence, I will reiterate the points that I made on a similar questions 2 weeks ago: That Jesus had half brothers and sisters the Bible clearly states. The fact that Jesus was mentioned as Mary’s firstborn implies that Mary must have had other children. (Luke 2:7) Furthermore, these other children must have been by means of her husband Joseph, because it is recorded that Joseph had relations with her after Jesus was born. (Matt. 1:25) It would be foolish to assert that Joseph would somehow be forbidden to have relations with HIS OWN WIFE after Jesus' birth, especially considering that the angel spoke nothing of forced celibacy in his instructions to Joseph and Mary. The two scriptures that mention that Jesus had sisters, though they are not individually mentioned by name, indicate that in their home town of Nazareth the whole family of boys and girls were well known. (Matt. 13:56; Mark 6:3) The Bible gives the names of Jesus’ brothers as James, Joseph, Simon and Judas. (Matt. 13:55) And as regards assertions by some here on the subject of the Greek words used to distinguish family members, there are distinct Greek words for brother and cousin. “‘This is the carpenter the son of Mary and the brother [Greek, a·del·phos′] of James and Joseph and Judas and Simon, is it not? And his sisters [Greek, a·del·phai′] are here with us, are they not?’ So they began to stumble at him.” (Mark 6:3) “Do not call . . . your relatives [Greek, syg·ge·neis′].” (Luke 14:12) “Mark the cousin [Greek, a·ne·psi·os′] of Barnabas . . .” (Colossians 4:10) So whether or not the words in the Hebrew Aramaic language for "brother" and "cousin" were the same does not matter AT ALL. The fact is that in Koine GREEK, there were two distinct words, and the writers of the GREEK Scriptures CHOSE to use the distinct word for "brother" and not "cousin." John P. Meier, former president of the Catholic Bible Association of America, wrote: “In the N[ew] T[estament] adelphos [brother], when used not merely figuratively or metaphorically but rather to designate some sort of physical or legal relationship, means only full or half-brother, and nothing else.” =Edit= Congratulations Johnny De! You've given the statistically worst answer that I've ever seen =) *hands Johnny De a little trophy* Breakdown of Johnny De's answer: 1164 Words long Out of those 1164 words, 229 (20%) actually attempt to make points. Out of those 229 words, he makes 3 points, 2 of which are irrelevant 1. We were there, we know 2. Matthew was originally written in Hebrew/Aramaic (even though the original Hebrew Aramaic copy no longer exists anywhere) 3. The siblings were not at the execution The remaining 935 words (80%) consist entirely of ad hominem attacks on the askers abilities and on the faith of protestants. Favorite Johnny De Quotes: “is this what you learned from Chuck Smith? How to lie in writing?” "not that greek is even important because it is not.” "We don't rely on the bible for our information, we were there and then we wrote the bible."
