"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

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...
