Why do Protestant Christians add to the bible?
Why do you say Jesus had brothers and sisters when the Holy Bible says different?
Because of one verse taken out of context. The majority of you fail to realize who is being spoken of in the verses below.
James and Joses are in Matthew, Mark, and John's Gospels referred to as the sons of Mary the wife of Clophas (Matthew 27:55, Mark 15:40, and John 19:25). Many early Church historians believe that Clophas and Joseph, Jesus' foster-father, were either brothers or cousins. Regardless, it does refer to Mary the wife of Clophas as the sister of Mary the mother of Jesus.
We can cross Simon off the list because Mark 3:18 tells us he is a Canaanite, "And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite..."
Jude, we are told in Jude 1:1, is the "servant of Jesus Christ and the brother of James."
"Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon, and are not his sisters here with us?" Mark 6:3-4
"Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brethren James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And are not all his sisters with us?" Matthew 13:55-56

I think the problem lies in their interpretation of what is written and the fact that all bibles in print don't say it exactly the same way, so it leaves it open for human interpretation which leads to errors and flaws.
I agree with you my friend.
Great to see you hope all is well.
Love and God bless you,
Kate
BTW I loved your answer for the question concerning our Lady and sex.

when teh Bible was being put together, texts, many books were up for dispute and many not included. Liek Peter's Apocalypse, the Gospel of Thomas, etc etc

the minute you claim with absolute certainly and a close mind that YOU have all the answers you alienate others and fail to uplift the cause.

It all sounds like sophistry, but I guess I'll have to take your word on it, since the actual words in the Bible aren't very clear.

Matthew 12:46: Jesus was still talking to the people when his mother and brothers arrived. They stood outside, asking to speak with him. 47: One of the people there said to him, "Look, your mother and brothers are standing outside, and they want to speak with you."

they want to be equal with the catholic church on teaching the absolute truth, so they are too stubborn to admit they made a mistake, so let them have their day of glory, when the truth arrives, at the last day, they will have to give up the lie, but it'll be too late.

Where does it say he does not have brothers?
