Your core problem is that it VERIFIES what the Bible already says. That James was the brother of Jesus Christ.

And CONTRADICTS what the Bible already says, that he was the son of Alphaeus.

Okay Campion. Let's see if I understand what you are saying... Are you saying that in this verse...

Mark 6: 3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

Are you saying that the Mary in this verse, and the SONS mentioned in this verse, were the sons of Mary, wife of ALPHAEUS?

Are you saying that and committing to that belief? Yes or no?

You know, there were more than one James. There was the James who was the brother of Jesus as mentioned in Mark 6:3, Jude 1:1. Galatians 1:19; there was James, son of Zebedee as mentioned in Mark 3:17; there was James, son of Alphaeus as mentioned in Matthew 10:3 and Acts 1:13 (where he is mentioned alongside another James).

Either get to know the Bible a little better or learn what "contradicts" means.
