ANYBODY trying to make the case that Jesus had uterine siblings based SOLELY on the use of this word in the NT has a weak if not, non-existent case . . .
Though anyone trying to make the case that Jesus did not have siblings has a weaker case.
In the simplest straightforward reading, well, Jesus' mother and his brothers and his sisters. Unless you have something else in mind already, the normal way to read this would be as immediate family. And no one seems to have a problem when it's used other places for immediate family.
Now do they?
Much love!
PS . . . will this then be charaterized as psychotic ravings also?
