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)...

Firstly, pick any language you want, and you'll find that Joseph, Simon, James, and Judas (Jude/Thaddeus) aren't explicitly called Jesus's half-siblings, nor any other type of family member. Secondly, Mary was an only child, and again, Joseph only had one brother named "Alphaeus," who had four...

The Koine Greek word used in Matt. 13:55/Mk. 6:3 is "ἀδελφοί" (adelphoi), or 'brothers," has the following definitions: "fellow-countryman," "disciple/follower," "one of the same faith," and "kinsman/kinswoman, or relative." The context in these verses shows that the definition...

After you pointed out that I wrote Jn. 5:7 again, I said, "I meant to say "Jn. 7:5," then you said, "Yes you meant Jn. 7:5," and I said, "That's what I just said" as in "I just said that's what I meant to say." In Scripture, only Jesus is called the son of Joseph and Mary (Matt. 13:55, Mk...

I explained to the OP that neither of the two apostles named "James" were the son of Jesus's Mother, Mary, which leaves the identity of this supposed son of Hers named "James" still unknown, and thus finding that out is ultimately the topic of this thread. That's what I just said. So, who do...

Jesus has said that you shall know one by its fruit and that an evil tree cannot produce good fruit (Matt. 7:15-20). By God's Grace through faith, I believe that The Gospel as Revealed to Me, or The Poem of the Man-God, is an expansion of the four Gospels of Christ, further validated by the...

To find out the identity of Mary of Joseph's believed to be "son" named "James." I meant Jn. 7:5. Who do you believe Jesus's brothers in Jn. 7:5 were?

Who do you believe Jesus's brothers in Jn. 7:5 were?

Which "James" are you talking about?

If you are referring to Jesus's Mother, Mary of Joseph, then neither James of Zebedee nor James of Alphaeus was Her son. The only "James" believed to be Her son is the one from Matt. 13:55/Mk. 6:3, despite him not being called the son of Joseph and Mary, nor the sibling of Jesus.

God, the Most Holy One, says that we are to be holy as He is (1 Pet. 1:15-16), and one's holiness is not of their own merit, but rather God's Grace in cooperation with their good will. If one who is charitable to their neighbor is also charitable to God (Matt. 25:40), then one who venerates...

Did I read the posts where you accused me of starting the discussion on being born again and born of the Spirit and going off-topic by speaking about them? Yes, I did read them, and that is why I said you were the one who started the discussion on those topics not me, and thus my speaking about...

Thus far, I've answered your questions from the opening post. You would now like me to answer your questions in posts #13, #16, and #17. However, you say that my Christian (Catholic) answers to your questions pertaining to the Christian (Catholic) Church aren't facts, and that we do not speak...

If you do not want "Christian (Catholic) facts (answers)," then why did you create this thread, and ask questions pertaining to the Christian (Catholic) Church for Catholics to answer?

You expressed interest in receiving answers from a Catholic, which I am, to questions pertaining to the Christian (Catholic) Church/Scripture. Therefore, I answered with facts not opinions.

A true Christian worships God alone and obeys His commandments. Christians (Catholics) teach that only God is God and He alone is to be worshiped. Acts of veneration, e.g., kissing/touching, kneeling, bowing, etc., towards holy figures such as the Blessed Virgin Mary and Pope Francis, do not...

Jesus's buriel Shroud (The Shroud of Turin) is the greatest physical evidence of His existence. I highly recommend reading The Holy Shroud and the Visions of Maria Valtorta.
