What you refuse to accept is that "sibling," or "half-sibling," is not a direct definition of the Koine Greek word ἀδελφός" (sing. adelphos [brother];pl. adelphoi [brothers]), but the broad familial definition "kinsman, or relative" is, and one's kinsman/relative can be a sibling, cousin...

The Koine Greek word "ἀδελφός" (adelphos;brother) is the singular form of its plural form "ἀδελφοί" (adelphoi;brothers), both of which are used in Matt. 13:55/Mk.6:3: "Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is His mother not called Mary, and His brothers, James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?" (Matt...

It's not hard. Nowhere in Scripture is anyone other than Jesus called the son of Mary of Joseph. Nowhere in Scripture is anyone called Jesus's sibling. In Matt. 13:55/Mk. 6:3, Joseph, Simon, James, and Judas (Jude/Thaddeus) were called Jesus's "ἀδελφοί" (adelphoi;brothers). This Koine Greek...

:facepalm: The Koine Greek word "ἀδελφός" (adelphos;brother) is just the singular form of its plural form "ἀδελφοί" (adelphoi;brothers), both of which are used in Matt. 13:55/Mk.6:3: "Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is His mother not called Mary, and His brothers, James, Joseph, Simon, and...

...context/lineage shows what kind of brothers they were. I asked you what kind of brothers you believe Joseph, Simon, James, and Judas (Jude/Thaddeus) were to Jesus and you couldn't answer, much less provide evidence for it. However, I was able to answer the question saying that they were...

Please try and make sense when you talk.

In fact, in Matt. 13:55/Mk. 6:3 it states that Joseph, Simon, James, and Judas (Jude/Thaddeus) were Jesus's "ἀδελφοί" (adelphoi;brothers). One of the definitions for this Koine Greek word is "kinsman, or relative," and one's kinsman/relative could be a sibling (full/half), cousin, nephew, or...

You claimed the following: "Jesus had brothers and sisters - siblings in other words - all born of the same mother who was Mary." Were you referring to those called Jesus's brothers and sisters in Matt. 13:55-56/Mk. 6:3-4?

Do you believe Jesus's brothers Joseph, Simon, James, Judas (Jude/Thaddeus), and unnamed sisters in Matt. 13:55-56/Mk. 6:3-4 were His half-siblings?

Again, nowhere in Matt. 13:55/Mk.6:3, or anywhere else in Scripture, are Jesus's brothers Joseph, Simon, James, Judas (Jude/Thaddeus) called the sons of Joseph and Mary, nor are they called Jesus's "siblings," or "half-siblings," but rather His "ἀδελφοί" (adelphoi;brothers). One of the...

Well, you admitted to not having read my post, but if decide to, you'll see that I've provided scriptural verses and testimonies that corroborate each other, whereas you haven't provided anything. You claimed the following: "Jesus had brothers and sisters - siblings in other words - all born...

I've provided actual evidence, scriptural verses and testimonies that corroborate each other, whereas those who state Jesus's had half-siblings have provided zilch, nor attempted to answer the questions in post #3 like I did that give them the opportunity to defend their position.

Nowhere in Matt. 13:55/Mk.6:3, or anywhere else in Scripture, are Jesus's brothers Joseph, Simon, James, Judas (Jude/Thaddeus) called the sons of Joseph and Mary, nor are they called Jesus's "siblings," or "half-siblings," but rather His "ἀδελφοί" (adelphoi;brothers). One of the definitions for...

Again, I never said Scripture states that Joseph, Simon, James, Judas (Jude/Thaddeus) in Matt. 13:55-56/Mk. 6:3-4 were His half-siblings, but rather states they were His "ἀδελφοί" (adelphoi;brothers). This Koine Greek word has the following definitions: "fellow-countryman," "disciple/follower,"...

So, you believe that Jesus's brothers Joseph, Simon, James, Judas (Jude/Thaddeus) in Matt. 13:55-56/Mk. 6:3-4 were His half-siblings. However, they're not called "siblings," nor "half-siblings," but rather His "ἀδελφοί" (adelphoi;brothers). This Koine Greek word has the following definitions...

Again, some believe Jesus's brothers Joseph, Simon, James, Judas (Jude/Thaddeus) were His half-siblings. However, they're not called "siblings," nor "half-siblings," but rather His "ἀδελφοί" (adelphoi;brothers). This Koine Greek word has the following definitions: "fellow-countryman,"...

I didn't invent that some believe Jesus's brothers Joseph, Simon, James, Judas (Jude/Thaddeus), and unnamed sisters in Matt. 13:55-56/Mk. 6:3-4 were His half-siblings. Again, do you also believe Jesus's brothers Joseph, Simon, James, Judas (Jude/Thaddeus), and unnamed sisters in Matt...

It's precisely because what I'm refuting in this thread doesn't in and of itself prove the Blessed Virgin Mary's perpetual virginity that that is why the latter is not where this thread is headed, at least not by my doing. Some believe that Jesus's brothers Joseph, Simon, James, Judas...

If you were able to read all of my post, you would've seen I laid out my position clearly throughout, and that even the final paragraph of my opening post summarizes my position, which is that Jesus's brothers Joseph, Simon, James, Judas (Jude/Thaddeus) in Matt. 13:55-56/Mk. 6:3-4 were not His...

Do you believe Jesus's brothers Joseph, Simon, James, Judas (Jude/Thaddeus), and unnamed sisters in Matt. 13:55-56/Mk. 6:3-4 were His half-siblings?
