Growing up, it was hard to see Jesus as a normal human being. To me, he was basically an all mighty figure who was able to grant miracles and was the son of God. However, Jesus was a man as well. He had parents, and he might of has siblings. That is something that has been debated for a while now. Whether or not Jesus had siblings.<\/p>\n
In the Bible, the brothers and sisters of Jesus have brought up. Some of the names mentioned were: James, Joses, Judas, and Simon. However, we were told that Mary was a virgin, and sought to always be a virgin, so were these her children? There are arguments that these are the children of Mary’s sister, which would make them cousins (therefore using the term brothers and sisters as a figure of speech). However, there are other theories that they were children from a previous marriage of Joseph, which would technically make them half siblings (or step siblings considering the fact that Jesus was the son of God).
