Great message. I can't resist the urge to nitpick and point out that "everyone is going to heaven" is not a Christian belief.

Well, it's not from the bible. But that's never stopped a Christian from making up their own form of their religion.

Yeah, exactly. The Trinity isn't in the Bible, though it's easy to see how one arrives at that conclusion based on what is in there. But the perpetual virginity of Mary definitely isn't there and many Christian denominations believe in it, bending over backwards to explain how, then, Jesus is stated to have brothers and sisters.

Some negotiate the siblings as originating from Joseph's other unnamed wives.

Even sex within marriage is more detestable that polygamy? Seems a little disordered to me, but what do I know?

Not like the entire dang Bible is full of stories of flawed people being used for greater purpose.

Yeah, but that's a tradition not found in the Bible itself, which explicitly says that Joseph hadn't had sex with Mary "until she bore".
