Jesus was the first born. Even if Mary was a virgin when he was born, this isn't necessarily the case for his younger siblings

Yeah, but you have to factor in the rabid Christian belief that she’s an eternal virgin. So they have to make up all kinds of complicated explanations for how any siblings could exist.

(According to official doctrine they were either cousins or children of Joseph’s from a previous marriage)
