Were these men Jesus's siblings?
OP ^
Sibling - basic meaning.
An individual who shares a biological, or legalized, common Parent (mother or father)…or common biological or legalized Grandfather, Grandmother (Great, Great, etc. Grandfather, Grandmother).
Sibling is a broad term; that can be used “broadly” as “brother or sister”…or more specific as “STEP sibling, STEP brother, STEP sister, HALF sibling, HALf brother, HALF sister, ADOPTED sibling, ADOPTED brother, ADOPTED sister, APPOINTED guardian…which all falls “under” the LEGALITIES of “common and statutory” LAWS.
Gods “SPIRITUAL” Laws (beyond mans confinement to “common and legal statutory” Laws)… hangs on the Relationship of a Single Individual WHOSE Relationship IS BY the Single Individual Recognized AND Establish AS that Single Individual BEING “A son of God”.
(That ^ having BEEN Established…BY, THROUGH, OF…according TO:
Gods Grace Offering, Gods Order, Gods Way.)
Every Individual WHO, “HAS” an Established Relationship WITH God being that individuals’ FATHER, “HAS” Spiritually “By, Through, Of God’s Grace Offering and Gods Power….
* BECOME “a son of God”…
* AND BECOME “MADE” “a Spiritual Brethren” OF the ONLY BEGOTTEN “Son of God”.
Begotten - meaning Is established By, Through, Of the MALE “SEED” provider. In other words, THE “SEED” which comes forth OUT from the MALE, IS the BEGOTTEN, IS the Offspring OF whomever IS that MALE.
In Gods case…God IS the MALE…His SEED that came forth OUT from God IN Heaven, IS He Whom God Named JESUS, and Called JESUS, the ONLY “Begotten” Son of God, the WORD of God, the TRUTH of God, the LIFE of God, the Power (Spirit)of God, Which God also called the Power (Spirit)of God; CHRIST…and WHICH God SENT from Heaven TO EARTH…in the LIKENESS AS A MAN…for Earthly men to SEE and HEAR and LEARN and FOLLOW and BELIEVE and Continue FOLLOWING and INDIVIDUALLY freely CHOOSE to BECOME His Spiritual BRETHREN…(making JESUS’ FATHER, that individuals FATHER)…or NOT.
Regarding Earthly men…
The First, named ADAM, was a CREATION by Gods Power (not Gods Seed).
The First, Created man, ADAM, was MADE Alive by Gods BREATH (not Gods Seed).
The First, Created and Made man, ADAM, was Created and Made with “his OWN seed” to reproduce “his OWN kind of Earthy man”of offspring. (As was/is every offspring of an earthly man, and are BEGOTTEN of their said natural Father).
A natural earthly man WHO elects (freely chooses) to BECOME A “son of God”, DOES SO, By Becoming MADE (by, through, of Gods Grace Offering, Jesus, Gods Only Begotten Son, Christ, Gods Power, Gods Life and thus THAT MAN…a “Spiritual Brethren” OF Gods ONLY Begotten Son, AND a son of Christ Jesus’ FATHER, WHO IS God.
Regarding earthly men;
They ALL begin as earthly men, IGNORANT, hearing, seeing, learning bit by bit, little by little. Vacillate believing this and that. Hearing, Seeing more and more, continually Believing new, discarding the old, weighing what they hear and see, wondering, wavering….Growing, Maturing, observing, experiencing personal RESULTS FOR THAT WHICH they ARE BELIEVING at any point in their natural life days/years.
Regarding Earthly man-KIND…(male & female)…
NAMES…
Names the Earthly (daddy & mommy) DECLARE, establish, call them, (according to their own Choices).
James, Simon, John, Samuel, Mary, Salome for example were expressly COMMON Ancient, Historical NAMES mankind USED to call their natural Offspring…and not a secret NAMES mankind has used to call their offspring continues to be repeated INTO Modern Days, world wide, families, cultures, reasoning, choices.
Distinguishing two individuals who share the SAME NAME, is by, through, of a series of methods; For example;
Their daddy, their mommy, their place of birth, their place of residence, their occupation, their position of status, of wealth. Their citizenship, their outer characteristics, (hair, eye, skin coloring, personality, beliefs, moral standing, dress code, stature of tall, short, slim, heavy, preferred associations); their Surnames; their minds declarations, their hearts declarations and observed behaviors that do (sometimes or always or never) parallel their own declarations.
Jesus’ Spiritual Father IS God.
Jesus’ Earthly Siblings are natural sons and daughters of His (mans Law) LEGAL father (Joseph, of the House of David through Joseph’s geanological line) and of His (mans Law) LEGAL mother (Mary, of the House of David through Mary’s geanological line.)
Trying to Break-down step, by step, any ONE particular persons geanological LEGAL descending-relationship mentioned IN Scripture is a long in-depth daunting task.
* James the son of Joseph and Mary (of Nazareth).
(Jesus’ LEGAL parents via mans Law and Jesus’ LEGAL sibling via mans Law).
* James the son of Zebedee and Salome…
* James the son Alphaeus (of Cleopas) and Mary.
* James, son of Joseph and Mary…
* James, son of Zebedee and Salome…
* James, son of Alphaeus and Mary…
* Each (according to their individual day/natural life-time; ) Became MADE Spiritual Brethren’s of Christ the Lord Jesus, by, through, of Gods Grace Offering, Gods Power, and Each individuals established Commitment of True Heartful Belief IN the Lord God Almighty.
Glory to God,
