Americans are so corny when they talk of their faith

Even now in Eastern cultures, we have this wider view of ''brothers'' and ''sisters''. I am of the Syro Malabar Catholic Church from South West India. Majority of us call each other brother and sisters. Infact these title are to everyone irrespective of wether we know them or not, irrespective of if they are Christians or not. I infact call my younger cousin sister as ''aniyathi'' or younger sister since we have different titles depending on the age. God bless U.

@RockyBalboa211 - Yep. I'm sure sure Jesus loved her and I love her as well. Mary was the greatest woman that ever lived. I wanna be the first one to hug her when I get to heaven. I would never pray to her or bow before her image but that's just the differences in our views of the Bible.

What matters is that we share the great and pure love to the great God almighty, He is the joy of my life.

God bless you.

@jgallete: But His not having brothers doesn't take away from His Identity either. I'm sorry for my tone in my earlier response. Overall, we have differences in our views of the bible. I promise though that I will try to find more info so that I can be saved. I thank you for helping me understand your point of view, and hopefully it will help me understand the truth of God's Word. I don't consider Mary my God, but I do think Jesus loved her. I strive to love her in the same way Jesus loved her.

@RockyBalboa211 - I don't really see why you won't admit Jesus had actual brothers, that doesn't take anything away from His identity as the Son of God (3:16).

@jgallete: The terms "brothers," "brother," and "sister" did not refer only to close relatives. Sometimes they meant kinsmen (Deut. 23:7; Neh. 5:7; Jer. 34:9), as in the reference to the forty-two "brethren" of King Azariah (2 Kgs. 10:13–14). Jesus grew up in Nazareth, and the people of Nazareth referred to him as "the son of Mary" (Mark 6:3), not as "a son of Mary."

@jgallete In Jewish culture, if someone was an only child (which is my position), his most immediate relatives (cousins) were legally and culturally considered to be siblings though. English can convey a more limited meaning than the Biblical language calls for. Brethren/Brothers can mean "actual brothers" (Your position), countrymen, "cousins" (My position), or "previous children of Joseph" (The orthodox position). James is called a "brother of Jesus", yet his father wasn't Joseph.
