101 wednesday- "Brothers" of Jesus?

What's this about the "brothers" of Jesus? Did Mary have other children? No. The word 'brother' speaks of a 'close friend' relationship and/or cousin or nephew, NOT a literal brother. Jesus did not have LITERAL brothers! The bible does indeed mention the "brothers" of Jesus in Mark 6:3, “Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon...”. James, Joses, Simon and Judas were sons of Clopas (sons of Mary, the wife of Clopas) John 19:25, Mk 15:40, the OTHER Mary! Also, Clopas' other name was Alphaeus. How do I know? The Catholic Church teaches it. For the infallible teaching on 'brothers of Jesus' look here at a Two-Minute Apologetics

Mary had only Jesus, and if you believe she bore other children, it makes you as dumb as a heretic. For to commit heresy, one must refuse to be corrected. "For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander into myths" (2 Tim. 4:3–4)

Mary had no sex life! She was a virgin all her life.  Was there anyone else in the Bible that conceived of the Holy Spirit? Also, why can't you give credit to where credit's due by calling her 'Blessed Mary '? In her Magnificat, she exclaims: "All generations will call me blessed."

Traditional Christianity held that Jesus is Mary's only son. The references to Jesus' brothers refer to other family members, and in some cases to his disciples. Here has a closer look:

• Mary, wife of Cleopas and 'sister' of the Virgin Mary (Jn 19:25) is the mother of James and Joses (Mk 15:47; Mt 27:56) who are called the "brothers of Jesus" (Mk 6:3).
• Acts 1:12-15 Apostles, Mary, some women and Jesus' brother's number about 120. That is a lot of brothers.
• Gen 14:14 Lot, Abraham's nephew (Gen 11:26-28), described as Abraham's brother (KJV).
• Gen 29:15 Laban, Jacob's uncle, calls Jacob his brother (KJV).
• John 19:26-27 Jesus gives the care of Mary to John, not one of his brothers.
• Zechariah 12:10 Predicts the Messiah will be an only child.
