Mary, the mother of Jesus, is to this very day often referred to as a virgin, or as the Virgin Mary.

While it is certainly true that at the time of the Messiah’s conception, she was a virgin. She and her husband Joseph, however, did have other children after the birth of Christ. And might I add, these other children were conceived in the normal manner that both you and I were conceived.

So that being the case and it is, Mary was not a virgin at the time of her death. And yes, she is currently dead and not somewhere in heaven, but that is best left for another time and post.

I will now show scriptural evidence to prove that Joseph and Mary had other children aside from Jesus, and therefore in turn, proving that Jesus did have other brothers and sisters.

Matthew 12:46 And while He was still speaking to the crowds, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him.

Matthew 12:47 Then one said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.”

Matthew 13:55 Isn’t he the son of the carpenter? Isn’t Mary his mother, and aren’t James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas his brothers?

Matthew 13:56 Don’t his sisters still live here in our town? How can he do all this?”

Galatians 1:19 The only other apostle I saw was James, the Lord’s brother.

So scripture proves that Jesus did have brothers and sisters and therefore, also proves that Mary was no longer a virgin at the time of her death.

There is ample evidence in scripture that suggests that Jesus Christ was the Old Testament God. There is evidence from both the Old and New Testaments. Even Jesus implies that it was He, and not The Father.

Some may quickly point out that the Prophets of old such as Abraham, spoke with God the Father. Others may say that Moses not only spoke with God the Father, but even saw His back!

So who was the Old Testament God? God The Father, or God The Son, who is also known as Jesus Christ?

Let us first prove without a shadow of a doubt that Abraham and Moses spoke with, and saw none other than Jesus Christ!

John 1:18 NO ONE has seen God AT ANY TIME. The only begotten Son, He who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

So Moses could not have seen God the Father. And Abraham could not have spoken to Him either!

We are told in this passage from The New Testament that no one has seen God- and it is God the Father being implied, at any time. And it further says that it was Jesus who made Him known, or who has declared Him.

So all along throughout Old and New Testament times, folks thought they had been talking to one deity known as God the Father. When all along it had been God the Son! They had no idea there were two separate entities.

Here is one more ray of evidence suggesting Jesus was the Old Testament God:

1Corinthians 10:1: And, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea.

1Corinthians 10:2: And all were baptized to Moses in the cloud and in the sea,

1Corinthians 10:3: and all ate the same spiritual food,

1Corinthians 10:4: and all drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank of the spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.

So the Old Testament God was Christ!
