Gospel of John shows our Lord to be Mary's only child

Aramaic word for Brother can also mean Cousin. They (Joses, Jude, James the less, Simon) are the sons of Qalyopa (Brother of Joseph) and Maryam (another Mary). On Mother's side of Jesus, we have James and John (the sons of Zebedee and Salome). If Maryam had children other than Jesus, then don't you think Gospels would have mentioned it?

Hoi Kon <!-- sSmile --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /><!-- sSmile --> I see a circle of reasoning;

- Brother also can mean cousin.
- If he had brothers, the bible would meantion it it mentions the cousins.

Well it depends. Since it mentions the 'cousins' it also mentions the 'brothers' <!-- sSmile --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /><!-- sSmile -->

Last but not least; okey, they were cousins if you wish; but still; What scripture wold maryam have to fullfill to stay a virgin? I'd say: if she were, the scripture would have it! <!-- sSmile --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /><!-- sSmile -->

(If I were Jawsef, I would have gone mad at God for taking the M out of the marriage.)
