As to your objections to Mary and your statements that she had other children…
The gospel account of 12-year-old Jesus lost in the temple does not mention siblings. If Christ did have brothers, why did he entrust his mother to the care of his beloved disciple?
Why does Mt. 1:25 state that "he knew her not til she brought forth her 1st son? This does not imply they before Jesus’ birth or after his birth, sexual relations took place between Mary and Joseph. All this implies is that an action did not take place up to a certain point.
2 Sam 6:23 states, “Michale the daughter of Saul had no children until the day of her death.” Does this mean she had children after her death? Of course not!! All that this states is during her life she had no children.
The early Christian writings of the DIDACHE (358 A.D.) state the following:
767a [2, 70] The union, therefore, was of just such a kind, so that He might unite what is man by nature, to Him who is the nature of the Godhead, thereby assuring the accomplishment of salvation and His deification. Let those, therefore, who deny that the Son is by nature form the Father and proper to His essence, deny also that He took true human flesh from the Ever-Virgin Mary. In neither case would it have been profitable to us men: if the Word were not by nature true Son of God, or if the flesh which He assumed were not true flesh
