**Biblical Evidence that Proves, **
Jesus did not have Biological Brothers
Re-visited
+
The alleged “Brothers of Jesus”, identified as; James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas (Matthew 13:55-57) Can be clearly identified in the New Testament and they are not the biological brothers of Jesus!
There exist no doubt that the “hearts of Catholics are known”. Jesus knows that we love and respect his Mother, Mary.
The “offspring” of Mary is those who *“bear witness to Jesus”, that means *“Christians”! …

There has been a much written regarding whether or not Jesus had any of biological brothers or sisters, sharing the same biological mother and father, Mary (the Mother of Jesus Christ) and Joseph the carpenter and the husband of the Holy Mother. First of all let me make something clear; Joseph is not the Biological father of Jesus. Jesus’ Father is God, not Joesph! He (Jesus) is the “Son of God”.
*
Roman Catholics believe in the perpetual virginity of Mary, the Mother of God and all non-Catholic, Protestant Christian’s and “Born Again” Christian’s deny the perpetual virginity of Mary. This is a Hugh difference in belief.
+
We were all warned about this difference in belief in Luke 2:35-35
+
" and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, "Behold, this child is destined for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be contradicted
35 ***
(and you yourself a sword will pierce) 11 so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed." *
+
Their hearts were revealed alright. Many so-called “Christians” today, show an utter contempt and disrespect for Mary the “Mother of God” and get downright up-tight at the mere mention of her name.
There exist no doubt that the “hearts of Catholics are known”. Jesus knows that we love and respect his Mother, Mary.
+
If you notice in (Matthew 13:55) it is written “Is he not the carpenter’s (Joseph’s) son”.
+
As Christians we know that Joseph is not the biological father of Jesus, God is the Father of Jesus.
+
Apparently the ones making the comments in Mathew 13:55, the “non-believers” did not know Jesus or his family very well. If one were to except Matthew 13:55, literally and out of context, one would have to reject the Virgin Birth and the fact that Mary conceived Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit.
+
If one were to believe that Joseph is the biological father of Jesus, and not God, then he would be in error and is not, by definition a Christian.
+
Furthermore; if Mary had other biological children, where were they when Jesus was crucified? It would be strange for Jesus to ask John to take care of Mary, at the foot of the Cross, especially when, James the “brother of the Lord” was alive in 49 AD (Gal 1:19). He should have taken care of her.
++
Remember; if Mary was a virgin when she conceived Jesus, then all of his siblings would have been younger and presume to still be alive when Jesus was crucified, yet not one of his so-call “brothers and sister” were there at the foot of the cross! If that was the case, surely it would have been commented on in the Bible, as Peter’s denial was.
+
We know John was not the biological brother of Jesus and that the Virgin Mary was not John’s biological Mother, yet Jesus said to John, “Behold your Mother”. What was meant here, was that from that point on, Mary became the mother of us all, as described in Revelations 12.
+
Note in Revelations 12:6-17;
+
"Then the dragon became angry with the woman (Mary) and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring (children), *those who keep God’s commandments and bear witness to Jesus." *
The “offspring” of Mary is those who *“bear witness to Jesus”, that means *“Christians”! …For the full story and Bible verses that prove that Jesus did not have biological brothers go here;
