Since the beginning of the 19th Century there has been a tendency in intellectual circles around the world to deny the inspiration of the Bible and what is known about human history based on the information it contains. For example, the real existence of Moses and his involving in the writing...

The word προσκυνέω does not even mean WORSHIP as someone "worships" a god. Jesus used that word here: Rev. 3:9 Look! I will make those from the synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews yet are not, but are lying—look! I will make them come and bow before your feet and make them know that I have...

You can't make up meanings for words from other languages to make them fit you. Jesus was the means through which his Father created all things. Because he was the Only Begotten and Firstborn Son, he was there with his Father, cooperating with the creation of which his Father was the direct...

I'll give you some input about what διᾰ́ means in Greek. That preposition is the one some versionists translate as "by" when the Scriptures say that the Universe was created through Jesus: διᾰ́ IE *dis-; cf. Lat. dis-, AS te-, Alb. tsh- I A adv. or prevb. through, from one side to the other B...

:rolleyes: No inspired writer of the Holy Writings said ever that everything was created "by Jesus".

That is false. James 2:19 You believe that there is one God, do you? You are doing quite well. And yet the demons believe and shudder.

Ask yourself: Were Jesus' apostles anointed with holy spirit as they accompanied Jesus everywhere? If your answer is NO, then how can you think that anyone who say so today is really annointed with the Holy Spirit of God? Some people today think they are superior than the apostles of Jesus.

Not so "equally". You can see here the difference: The One seated on the throne "is worthy to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they came into existence and were created.” (Rev. 4:11) The Lamb, who is Jesus, "is worthy to...

No more lies. :Bestest: Byeeee.

BROTHER means "sharing a common ancestor (father)" ... but cousins is more specific. No serious dictionary include "cousin" as an optional meaning of ἀδελφός. The interpretation of ἀδελφός in such passages as Mt 12:46; Mk 3:31; and Jn 2:12 as meaning ‘cousins’ (on the basis of a corresponding...

You would love a version of the Bible saying: "Now his mother and cousins came to him" in Matt. 12:46,47; 13:55; Mark 3:31,32; Luke 8:19,20; John 2:12; etc ... But you know what? That version DOES NOT EXIST, because that would be a plain lie to everyone's sight, and Catholics don't want to be...

Obviously, if we take into account that a brother (ἀδελφός) can be due to belonging to the same family tribe even if the common ancestor is distant in the past, as in the case of an Israelite with another Israelite, or an Moabite or Ammonite with an Israelite due to the relationship between Lot...

No serious Biblical Greek Dictionary is called only "Greek Dictionary" ... Is that a joke? coffee:

"cousin" is not translation of ἀδελφός, otherwise the sense "cousin" would be included in the word meanings ... but it's not specified "cousin". Jesus had four brothers, and his mother was not a virgen any more after she gave birth to Jesus ... Cleophas had only two sons and Jesus' brothers...

They are not going to fool anyone else, because the Bible is no longer in museums or in languages that people cannot study. There are now translations in many languages and dictionaries of the original languages, and ancient manuscripts written in those languages. The Catholic curia can no...

ἀδελφός DOES NOT mean cousin. There is a distinct term for cousin in the NT, ἀνεψιός, and it is used in Col. 4:10. The other Mary, Cleophas' wife, only had two sons: James the Less and Joses. She didn't have any son called Jude or Simon; that is why she is called "Mary the mother of James the...

Cleophas and his wife Mary ("the other Mary") are credited with two sons in the Bible: James the Less, and Joses (Matt. 27:56). Mary, who is almost always mentioned accompanying "the brothers of Jesus" (except in John 7:3,5) is attributed with 4 more children: James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon...

There are two families: 1) Mary, Jesus' mother, had four sons besides Jesus: James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon. 2) The other Mary, Cleophas's wife, had two sons: James the Less, and Joses. The mother of the four is with them the times they go to see Jesus ... that is Mary, HIS MOTHER. The sons...

I understand that you try to force the Scriptures, making it believe that it is a single family with children who are not brothers of Jesus... That way it would be confirmed that Mary never had sexual relations with her husband, and the Catholic belief would be supported biblically . But that is...

False: they are two diferent families: 1) Mary, Jesus' mother, had four sons besides Jesus: James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon. 2) The other Mary, Cleophas's wife, had two sons: James the Less, and Joses
