Not a exemplary way for a young Christian to behave
. Calling
yourself lim pei
and calling others ke poh ji.... Please refrain
from name calling because it definitely highlight the fibre of your
character.
Discussion of Mary, of for that matter any Bible person, is a
Christian topic, therefore, it is correct to have it here. On the
flip side, discussion of, say, Prophet Mohammad or Mao Tse Tung or
Gautama Buddha will be out of place.
Galatians 1:19 saw none of the other apostlesonly James, the
Lord's brother. Paul specifically stated that James is Jesus
brother. Other people around Jesus are called disciples, and in
some cases, apostles. Of course you may wish to highlight the
actual word in Greek to substantiate your claim.
According to Scripture, at the time of birth of Christ, Mary was
indeed a virgin. There is NO record of Mary remaining in the
virginal state. Again, if you have any prove showing otherwise,
please do so - from the Bible, not from Discovery, CNBC, CNN
whatever.
As MC had already said, for some reason, the whole argument has
changed from Doctrine to Mindset that being so, the mod will
have no right to delete or prevent anyone from discussing this
issue,. Because mindset is not absolute.
Some questions:
Do you (huaqing and loveholyspirit - if there is
really two of you 
) believe in the Bible - (for
argument's sake - your Bible)
Please do us all a favour and quote from YOUR
BIBLE, what Matthew 1:18-19; Mark 31:31, John 16:25-27 says.
I am only interested in the doctrine of the Scripture -
Mary is the mother of Jesus.
Whether James is his cousin, god-brother, close neighbour is not
the issue.
Whether Mary has any other children is not the issue.
Whether Mary is the perpetual virgin is not the issue.
Whether Mary is a saint or not is not the issue.
Whether Catholic doctrines is correct or not is not the
issue.
One more thing - for huaqing

Its just like Step-Mum and things like that. God used Mary the both
to conceive Jesus, so the mother refered is as the person
responsible for bring up Jesus.
It is clearly stated that, at least, loveholyspirit acknowledges
that Mary is the mother of Jesus - for whatever that is defined
above.
For all arguments and intents, huaqing, that is the quite a correct
definition which is: Mary is the mother of Jesus - how we define
"MOTHER" is a totally different issue.
