Did Mary and Joseph have other children?

No and yes.\n\nHow was James, “the brother of the Lord,” (Matt. 13:55, Acts 15:13-21, 1 Cor. 15:7, Gal. 1:19) related to Jesus? All believers agree he was related, but no one knows exactly how.\n\nThe possibilities are that James was:\n\n1. A full brother of Jesus, another Son of God born of the Blessed Virgin Mary. No one to my knowledge accepts that God had another child by the Blessed Virgin Mary.\n\n2. A half-brother of Jesus, a younger son of Joseph and the Blessed Virgin Mary. Some Christians believe this possibility but most Christians including those who are Catholic and Eastern Orthodox believe that Mary remained a virgin for her entire life.\n\n3. A stepbrother of Jesus, a son of Joseph and a previous wife. Many Christians believe that Joseph had a least one previous marriage that resulted in children.\n\n4. A stepbrother of Jesus, an adopted son of Joseph and the Blessed Virgin Mary. When parents died, relatives frequently took their children in and raised them as thier own. An adopted orphaned boy would be considered the brother of Jesus.\n\n5. A cousin of Jesus. The Aramaic language has no word for cousin. Aramaic frequently uses the word “aha,” which we translate into Greek as “adelphos” or English as brother, for cousin.\n\n6. A comrade of Jesus. This is a remote possibility. Greek uses adelphos the same as English does in “a band of brothers.” \n\nPossibilities 1 and 2 obviously go against Catholic beliefs.\n\nThe Catholic Church prefers possibility 5 but 3, 4 and 6 would not go against doctrine. \n\nWith love in Christ.

Mary & Joseph were "betrothed".  In the Jewish culture of that time a man & woman were promised to each other and then he set to make a home for them.  Once the man had a home & funds for his bride he would go and get her and there would be a wedding feast and they would be married and could consumate their marriage.  \n\nJoseph, after being visited by an angel, took Mary as his wife but did NOT consumate the marriage until after Mary's time of uncleaness after childbirth was complete.\n\nSo Mary was a virgin when she gave birth to the Messiah.  She also had at least 4 other children.  (Would anyone REALLY consider perpetual virginity a blessing?  Especially if you were Joseph?  "Yea Joseph, as a reward for you believing the angel, marrying a woman pregnant not with your child, and raising that child you can NEVER has sex with your wife or be blessed with children of your own"  Some blessing!)

Yes mary was born with out sins, never sined (or had sex) and was assumed into heaven body and soul.  Joseph was on the other hand born with original sin but died a saint and went to heaven.

Mary's parents were Joachim and Anne.  Both are saints of the Roman Catholic Church.  She was probably born around 12 or 13 BC, perhaps earlier, since she is presumed to have been fairly young when Christ was born in 1 AD.  Where was she born?  Somewhere in Galilee.

I suggest that you read that love letter. For instance:\n\nAnd the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters\nGenesis 5:4\n\nAdam and Eve had at least 7 children. Cain, Abel, Seth, sons which means at least 2 more boys, and daughters which means at least 2 girls. They probably had many other children that are not listed because they are not needed in the geneology of Christ.

In the movie, they say that Mary Magdalene was married to Jesus Christ and at the time of the Crucifixion she was pregnant. After the Crucifixion, she fled and gave birth to a daughter, named Sarah. Supposedly, Sophie Neveu was the last living descendant of Sarah. Therefore, making her a descendant of Jesus Christ.\n\nHopes this helps!!!!

Mary was a normal human like everyone else.  She never preformed miracles, and she didn't stay a virgin much longer after Jesus was born.  She gave birth to Jesus' brother.    And right now (sorry Catholics) Mary is a dead woman who is nothing special.  What if a woman named "Suzan" gave birth to Jesus?  Would people start praying to "the virgin Suzan"?  Dead people don't hear prayers, only God does.

They are two different people.  Some think Jesus had an affair with Mary Magdalene.  Others think she may have been a prostitute. ANd, the other Mary is Jesus's mom.  She's the Virgin Mary.

That is nowhere in the Bible, it says that she found favor in God's eyes. So did several other people in the Bible, but they made mistakes, they were only human. Mary was just the woman God chose to give birth to Jesus, she wasn't sinless, just favored.

Hang on sir. :)\nThe Madonna (Mary) was Jesus's mother. She was not a wife to anyone because she was not married.\n\nThrough God, she gave birth to Jesus.\n\nIm not sure why you think this could be another name for Islam?!

Yes. The Blessed Virgin Mary is the Second Eve, just as her Son Is the Second Adam. \n\n Our Heavenly Father Created Mary to become an Eternal Enemy to Satan, when He Chose her to become the Mother Of His Only Son. Because of this, Satan has a great & profound Hatred for the Holy Virgin.\n\n Revelations chapter 12 also confirms this too.

What do you mean by believe? I believe she lived, and I believe she was the mother of Jesus, and I believe that she was a virgin until Jesus was born. I think you might mean Catholic practice of praying to Mary and so on. That I do not believe - not at all, as the Bible says nothing about praying to Mary. I don't pray to anyone but God the Father, but I do so in the name of Jesus - as the Bible says.\n\n\nThe Bible further states that Jesus had siblings, and says that Mary did not know her husband UNTIL Jesus was born (this last is found in Matthew, and the siblings part is in Mark 3:31). These half siblings would have been direct descendents of Mary, not of Jesus. There is nothing wrong with there being descendents related to Jesus... I think people think that if others were related to him, it would mean they were born with part of the Holy Spirit, since Jesus was conceived of the Spirit - but that's not true. The siblings were born of two humans and were all human. The Holy Spirit had nothing to do with their conceptions.

Adam and Eve had more children. Cain married his sister. The story of Cain and Abel was centered upon them and not the whole family. It is believed that Adam and Eve had many children who intermarried. Kinda gross to think that we all came from inbreeding.

Most last names were derived from what the person did for a lving.  Since Jesus was a  Shepherd perhaps that was  his name.  His father Joseph was a Carpenter so that also could have been his name

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph were not Merovingian. They were from the line of David, and were Jews who lived around 0 AD.\nI read your previous question. I don't know why you would think this; it's absurd. They were centuries apart. People didn't even HAVE last names back when Jesus was alive. They called you Nathaniel, son of David, or what-have-you. \nAccording to wiki, the Merovingians were a dynasty of Frankish kings who ruled a frequently fluctuating area in parts of the present-day Low Countries, France and Germany from the fifth to the eighth century. They were sometimes referred to as the "long-haired kings" (Latin reges criniti) by contemporaries, for their symbolically unshorn hair (traditionally the tribal leader of the Franks wore his hair long, while the warriors trimmed it short). The term is drawn directly from Germanic, akin to their dynasty's Old English name Merewīowing.
