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...

About the Greek word ἀδελφός, the Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament based on Semantic Domains _ Louw-Nida, says: SO, it is a fact that this supposed meaning of ἀδελφός as cousin is false. The Catholics' pretext is that there is a Hebrew word that can have both meanings... but the...

That's a lie: ἀδελφός DOES NOT mean cousin. The terms denoting familial relationships are not used loosely or indiscriminately in the called NT: 1) a distinct term for cousin, ἀνεψιός, is used in Col. 4:10. 2) our words for nephew/niece are expressed with the expression "the child of someone's...

False. The brother of Jesus, the son of Mary the mother of Jesus, was outside with his mother longing to see Jesus Luke 8:19 Now his mother and brothers came to him, but they were unable to get near him because of the crowd. 20 So it was reported to him: “Your mother and your brothers are...

The terms denoting familial relationships are not used loosely or indiscriminately in the called NT: 1) a distinct term for cousin, ἀνεψιός, is used in Col. 4:10. 2) our words for nephew/niece are expressed with the expression "the child of someone's sibling" like in Acts 23:16. 3) συγγενής is...

Modern selves-called "Christians" have a very strange idea of what it means to be "anointed by God with his holy spirit"... In their minds it is something common and current in all those who say they believe in Christ and who they accept as " Christians", as if they have the authority to decide...

Good point ... and that implies that following Jesus does not automatically mean receiving the holy spirit. Jesus' followers received from heavens, and later they were laying hands on others (with a few exceptions) so the new ones received it also. Do you believe that the Catholics who began to...

The most interesting questions of all are: 1) When did Christians begin to be baptized with holy spirit and who was there that first time? 2) When in the course of time did new Christians stop being baptized with holy spirit and why? When you answer those two questions, then you will really...

The biblical account: The brother of Jesus, the son of Mary the mother of Jesus, was outside with his mother longing to see Jesus (Luke 8:19-21), while the son of Alphaeus and "the other Mary" (Matt. 27:56 ,61; 28:1) who had already been selected as an apostle (Luke 6:13-16) was inside with...

While one James, James the Less, the son of Alphaeus, followed Jesus as one of his apostles ... the other James, son of Mary and half-brother of Jesus, did not believe in him. For example here, James the Less was not wanting to see him unable to get near, with Mary, the mother of Jesus, and...

The error of the mariolatras can be seen when we notice that: James the Less, the son of Cleophas/Alphaeus and the other Mary was ONE OF THE TWELVE APOSTLES (Matt. 10:3; Mark 3:18; Luke 6:15; Acts 1:13). James, the brother of the Lord, was not one of the twelve apostles, but was considered a...

Evidently the Bible calls several real people "gods." However, it makes a clear distinction about who the one true God is who should be the recipient of our worship. If a Christian who worships only the Father recognizes that other gods exist, it does not mean that he is a polytheist, because he...

This is my post: Biblical points and arguments included: God called others "gods", does that make God polytheist? Psal. 82:6 Jesus admited that God called others "gods", does that make Jesus polytheist? John 10:34,35 Paul admitted that "there are other gods", does that make Paul polytheist...

I understand what you say. Do the same we do: as much as possible, try to focus in the biblical points and arguments. Like: any answer to my post#195?

And yet, putting down a lady and then saying "much love" is still hypocritical. In fact, I have noticed that many characters in the web tend to have signatures full of "love", but the content of their messages is intensely aggressive. You even threatened me that you would ignore me without a...

Excellent explanation. Calling JWs polytheists for considering Jesus a god as the Bible says (John 1:1,18), yet in contrast to the God who is to be worshiped (John 17:3; 20:17), is reckless, because it is accusing Jesus himself of the same, since he admitted that God called gods even other...

I don't really mind what you think about anything, since you seem to act like an automat programmed to write hate messages. That's why I am sending you to my ignore list. Enjoy your stay in the empty space. :Broadly:

A bully/troll could never know what Jesus really thinks about anything.

What is "interesting" in this combination of words is the fact that after verbally misstreating a lady, you still tell her much love. What do you think Jesus would think about that?

Interesting combinations of words. :Laughingoutloud:
