One of Jesus's spokespeople.

If you knew even a smidge about Koine Greek in relation to Scripture, you'd know those called Jesus's brothers are called just exactly that: "ἀδελφοί" (adelphoi), or "brothers," and it has the following definitions: "fellow-countryman," "disciple/follower," "one of the same faith," and...

In this scene, Jesus's brothers who arrived with His Mother to speak with Him at Capernaum were two of His four cousins, Joseph and Simon of Alphaeus. Joseph and Simon had heard that Jesus had recently done carpentry work in Korazim for a widow whose husband had died, and they, particularly...

Are you someone who needs to read the words "the twelve apostles" in order to recognize when the original twelve are being referred to? Or, do you understand that there's more than one way to say something? "Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas (one of...

I didn't say Paul considered all other apostles one of the original twelve. Again, I'm showing how he's specifically referring to the original twelve: "Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas (one of the Twelve), and stayed with him for fifteen days. But I...

"Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas (one of the Twelve), and stayed with him for fifteen days. But I did not see another one of the apostles except James, the Lord’s brother." (Gal. 1:19). Paul is referring to the twelve apostles by saying he saw and...

I know. Again, in Gal. 1:18-19, Paul mentions that after he had seen the apostle Peter, one of the Twelve, in Jerusalem, he continues to say that he didn't see another one of the apostles, except James the Lord’s brother. The context indicates that James was one of the Twelve.

In Gal. 1:18-19, Paul mentions that after he had seen the apostle Peter, one of the Twelve, in Jerusalem, he continues to say that he didn't see another one of the apostles, except James the Lord’s brother. The context indicates that James was one of the Twelve, and it's the title "the Lord's...

However, again, in Gal. 1:18-19, Paul indicates that James is one of the twelve apostles.

Refer back to post #190.

O really? By all means, show us. By the way, if you rightly agree that James, the brother of Jesus (Matt. 13:55/Mk. 6:3), and “James the Lord’s brother” (Gal. 1:19) were the same person, then even without the early Christian testimonies, Scripture alone still disproves your belief. This is...

I've already done my research on this. I'm not going to make things easier for you than I already have, it'd be good for you to do some research, and if/when you feel you've found a counter-argument to my post #190, then put together your case and submit it.

I didn't say "AI testimonials," but rather "early Christian testimonies." Do you know what an early Christian is?

I debunked your interpretation of Scripture using Scripture and early Christian testimonies. Guilty as charged. Before we move on to a new topic, do you publicly acknowledge that you have no counter-argument to submit?

If you read the books of the New Testament at face value, you wouldn't have been able to understand any of it, as it was originally written in Koine Greek. That's why we have translators. The scriptural verses and early Christian testimonies collectively debunk your belief. You don't like it...

I didn't make people from thousands of years ago say anything. I quoted Scripture and early Christian testimonies, which collectively debunk your belief.

What is "Catholic trickery?" How is quoting scriptural verses and early Christian testimonies that refute your belief "Catholic trickery?"

To preface, the Koine Greek word "ἀδελφός'' (adelphos), or “brother,” has the following definitions: "fellow-countryman," "disciple/follower," "one of the same faith," and "kinsman/kinswoman, or relative," e.g., sibling, cousin, nephew, niece, uncle, aunt, etc. In the plural (ἀδελφοί;adelphoi)...

Genealogical evidence shows that Joseph, Simon, James, and Judas (Jude/Thaddeus) were the sons of Jesus's uncle, and thus were His cousins, not half-siblings.
