Unless you've been completely
ignoring my posts - I already
debunked this idea -
several times.
This is what I presented:
Why do you cling to verses like this one that only work to
prove the
Catholic position??
As
YOU and everybody here has
already been shown - these are the children of the
"other" Mary standing near the cross:
Matt. 27:56 says,
"among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee".
Mark 15:40 states,
"There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of JAMES THE YOUNGER and of Joses, and Salome".
Finally,
John 19:25 tells us,
"But standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene".
A comparison of these accounts of the crucifixion shows the mother of
James and Joseph (Joses) to be Mary, the
wife of Clopas (also called, Alphaeus) –
not Mary, the Mother of Jesus. She is obviously a
relative of the Blessed Mother.
James the Younger is the one called
"brother of the Lord" in other parts of the
NT.
