The term used for "brother" can mean cousin etc.

Where is that usage explicitly found in the Bible?

Suggenes vs. adelphos. Since there is a perfectly good Greek word for "cousin", why wasn't it used in these disputed passages?

Do not concern yourself with attempting to interpret things that have already been defined infallibly so as to remove any doubt.

I am no language expert, thank God that was not one of the requirements for salvation.
