“… not to think above that which is written,

That no one of you be puffed up for one against another.”

(1Cor 4:6)

“And my speech and my preaching not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.”

(1Cor 2:4-5)

“The day of Death is better than the day of Birth”

(Eccl. 7:1)

Did the historical God-Man Jesus have brothers and sisters? Does the Bible forward a 3D portrayal of these brothers and sisters, or it is only a conjecture on the part of some believers? This subject is a matter of heated contentions between Christians, let alone non-Christians, to the extent that it seems as if their salvation, devotion and worship depend on accepting or rejecting the precept.

The many treatises, commentaries and documentaries that were written on the subject are not even worth the ink they were written with, since they all fell short of the Biblical truths, dogmas and doctrines, as they all are masked with and enticed by the belligerent attitudes of the two differing camps. Substituting, improvising and dispensing unfounded truths or presenting half-truths rendered the Word of God obsolete.

All the contentions revolve around the perpetual virginity and chastity of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, as if celibacy/abstinence is the only virtue, while virginity is sacred, sex and sexuality are dirty and sinful. If sex and bodily pleasures practiced in marriage through God’s given precepts is evil, then God should not have instituted the Sacrament of Marriage. Are we imitating the Apostle Paul in venturing on our own? (Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that has obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful. 1Cor. 7:25).  How many times did Paul state that he did speak and write citing his own opinions and not those of God?  At least, let us learn from this great apostle how to hold faithfully what we were entrusted with and how to admit what we promulgate on church or personal basis, outside the tenets of God, without attributing it falsely to God. It is oxymoronic and unbecoming to subvert, twist and even reversed Jesus’ teachings, inventing manmade unbiblical dispensations and stamped them “infallible”, “dogmatic” and “binding” and to prefix or suffix them in accordance with and as per the “Word of God”. The three enduring Heavenly Faiths of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, are exclusively and entirely centered around an active domineering jealous male deity, but it seems that Christianity has adopted over the centuries some of the concepts of the dominantly female centered Hinduism, and the worship of Hellenistic and Roman Goddesses, where active domineering female deified personae are the norm? Are we to believe that there are power struggles in Christianity, where greater and lesser gods and goddesses are dueling, be it the Trinity, Mary, the Saints, the Prophets or the Angels, imposing their alleged superiority, preeminence and priority on their worshippers and adherents through repression, fear, sanctions and prohibitions?
