@SoliDeoGloria_X Even more so: if they aren't her other children, then why would it mention it immediately after mentioning Jesus is her son? Pretty odd to randomly mention his close friends or cousins in the context of that verse...
@ashenglory Once you become a Christian, you always will be. You'll be okay, just keep trying. Luckily, God's grace doesn't rely on your behavior. Just trust in him.
@Noremac_Ma_i@BreeSolstad Amen! It's really that simple, I hate when people have to add a million steps and overcomplicate salvation. Jesus said it is finished.
@joshwhitlatch I always think of it as a pagan "trap" for people who want to learn about Christianity. They see the huge, ornate, "official" church and they go straight to that, not understanding how different it is from true Christianity. Very sad
