Does the Bible say that Mary had other children?

Here's one thought:The 'proof' is in the Bible itself.**The scriptures say that Joseph had no intercourse with Mary UNTIL she gave birth to Jesus, indicating that they had intercourse after the birth of Jesus, so could have had other children(Matthew 1:25).**Jesus was Mary's FIRSTborn (Luke 2:7), indicating that she had OTHERS **People who knew them acknowledged that Jesus was "the brother of James and Joseph and Judas and Simon," adding, "And his sisters are here with us, are they not?"-Mark 6:3.**The Gospels, the book of Acts, and two of Paul's letters talk about "the Lord's brothers," "the brother of the Lord," "his sisters," "his brothers," naming four particularly: James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas. (Matthew 12:46; Matthew 13:55, 56; Acts 1:14; 1Corinthians 9:5; Galatians 1:19)**Jesus 'brothers' and his 'disciples' were two different things (John 2:12); During his ministry, while his disciples knew him to be the Christ(Matthew 16:16), his fleshly brothers did not believe he was the Messiah until later(John 7:3-5) Jesus turned the care of Mary over to John when he died, because his brothers weren't believers yet (John 19:26, 27), but after his resurrection, his fleshly 'brothers'(other children of Mary and Joseph) became disciples too(Acts 1:14)


What do you call people who convert from one religion to another?

An Anthropologist is one good answer, they study all religions as a consistently arrising social phenomenon. It is a social institution on all levels of social order, hard to detect in lower primates but i suspect it is there in a nacent form. So what is going on? Humanity is working to assure the growth of consciousness will have a path forward anon, and that the kids do not have to make the same foolish mistakes the ancestors made; we have taboo, precept, and commandment-WORD! To honour the efforts of all religions and to thereby transcend the divisive is to aproach religion from the state of intellectual freedom. This being the case, lets call this intrepid soul, free. So, a person who believes in all religions is free; that is my answer. -------- Another answer is - one who follows the Baha'i faith. (http://www.bahai.org/)
