"James -- SON of Joseph, (there goes the "cousin" defense) BROTHER of Jesus".
For centuries, the Catholic Church has lied to the world that James was Jesus' cousin. That has now been debunked. What does your note # 47 have to do with the mind-boggling news about this burial box?
Matthew 12:50 "For whosoever shall do the will of my Father, that is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother."(Emphasis added)Mark 3:35 "For whosoever shall do the word of God, he is my brother, and my sister, and mother."(Emphasis added)
Interestingly, JESUS made the previous statement in the context of the following scenario ...
Matthew 12:46 While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
