I addressed all that months ago. I believe I never got a response?

These are the textbook definitions of the Koine Greek word "ἀδελφοί" (adelphoi): "fellow-countryman," "disciple/follower," "one of the same faith," and "kinsman, or relative," etc. Regarding Matt. 13:55/Mk.6:3, the context shows the definition of "ἀδελφοί" (adelphoi) that applies to Jesus's...

The scriptural verses and crossover agreement between all my sources, even if not every surname is listed by each individual source, collectively show that (i) James and Judas of the four in Matt. 13:55/Mk.6:3 were the apostles James and Judas (Jude/Thaddeus) of Alphaeus (Matt. 10:3, Mk. 3:18...

Obsessed enough to be well-versed about it. I understand it's easier to read "...His brothers "Joseph, Simon, James, and Judas (Jude/Thaddeus)" and just assume they were His siblings, but it's also lazy and negligent.

You assume they were siblings because there's no reason not to?! First, thank you for admitting your assertion is based on an assumption. Second, the reason no one should assume Jesus's brothers (kinsmen/relatives) were siblings, or any type of family member, is because the familial definition...

Thank you for proving my point that you dont understand words, definitions, context, evidence, etc. These are the textbook definitions of the Koine Greek word "ἀδελφοί" (adelphoi;brothers): "fellow-countryman," "disciple/follower," "one of the same faith," and "kinsman, or relative," etc.The...

Correct, but there's more to it. These are the textbook definitions of the Koine Greek word "ἀδελφοί" (adelphoi;brothers): "fellow-countryman," "disciple/follower," "one of the same faith," and "kinsman, or relative," etc. The context of Matt. 13:55/Mk.6:3 shows the definition that applies to...

:face palm: Let's go over what you just said, which is "Yep. Exactly" to the following, as if what's in brackets is its definition, but it's rather the English translation of the Koine Greek word. "The Koine Greek word "ἀδελφός" (sing. adelphos [brother];pl. adelphoi [brothers])" What's...

According to your form of reasoning, you and I are siblings, solely because I call you brother. If you understood more about words, definitions, etc., you'd know why various types of family members, including cousins, can be/were/are called "brothers."

According to your form of reasoning, you and I are siblings, solely because I call you brother. You're not ready to be on a discussion board.

We know the brothers apostles James and John were brothers, as in "kinsman, or relative," and specifically siblings, because, for example, we read they were the "sons of Zebedee." We know the brothers apostles James and Judas (Jude/Thaddeus) were brothers, as in "kinsman, or relative," and...

It can, but it doesn't always refer to siblings, because the Koine Greek word "ἀδελφός" (sing. adelphos [brother];pl. adelphoi [brothers]) has the following textbook definitions: "fellow-countryman," "disciple/follower," "one of the same faith," and "kinsman, or relative," etc. Therefore, any of...

The Koine Greek word "ἀδελφός" (sing. adelphos [brother];pl. adelphoi [brothers]) has the following textbook definitions: "fellow-countryman," "disciple/follower," "one of the same faith," and "kinsman, or relative," etc. As you can see, "sibling," nor any other type of family member, is...

Yes, but we're not talking about spiritual familial relationships, but rather physical ones.

You read the words "brother(s)" and "sister(s) and assume it refers to "sibling(s)." That's not how this works. If it was, the following verse would mean Jesus appeared to over five hundred siblings: "After that He appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters..." (1 Cor. 15:6) It's...

I read it. So, you believe Joseph, Simon, James, Judas (Jude/Thaddeus), and the unnamed women of Jesus in Matt. 13:55-56/Mk. 6:3-4 were the sons and daughters of Joseph and Mary. In those verses, Only Jesus is called the son of Joseph and Mary Jesus's brothers and sisters are only called just...

Who specifically in Scripture do you believe were the sons/daughters of Joseph and Mary, and thus were Jesus's siblings, or half-siblings?

I didn't say Joseph was Jesus's biological father. I said nowhere in Scripture is anyone other than Jesus called the son of Mary. Why do you believe Jesus had half-siblings when no one in Scripture is called His half-sibling? The Koine Greek word "ἀδελφοί" (sing. adelphos [brother];pl...

Question. Nowhere in Scripture is anyone other than Jesus called the son of Mary of Joseph. Nowhere in Scripture is anyone called Jesus's sibling. So, why do you believe so-and-so were Jesus's sibling(s)?

The Koine Greek word "ἀδελφός" (sing. adelphos [brother];pl. adelphoi [brothers] has the following definitions: "fellow-countryman," "disciple/follower," "one of the same faith," and "kinsman, or relative," etc. As you can see, "sibling" is not a direct definition of it, but it doesn't mean...
