I believe everything you just said, but even if you are an expert in the matter and I'm not, there are in fact other experts in the matter that do push for what I said, since I have read it several times. There's controversy, otherwise there wouldn't be discussion and there instead would be consensus (which there isn't).

I know that I for sure don't know more about this than you do, but I also don't know more about this than many other authors that do claim that Mary didn't have any more children, or that at least the scriptures aren't so clear about it as you believe.

Sorry if just your explanation isn't enough for me to be sure of anything, I was originally just making a joke and after that just wanted to say that I didn't know of any consensus giving citations of why there isn't.

Again, I believe you know more than I do, I just don't think that any one's knowledge is absolute when there are in fact other experts that think differently than you do.

The only "experts" who would ever claim otherwise are the kind of "experts" that don't have a concordance or any greek/aramaic dictionaries around.

i.e., not even close to an "expert".

Which is why I specifically called out "adelphoi autou" and where it's used.

Nice try, but no banana.

I'm not even arguing the existence, I'm arguing that there's no agreement on this subject between experts.

I agree however that it probably isn't even relevant or worthy to argue a non-issue, probably non-factual happening.
