Gen 14:12And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
13And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.
14And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan. Lot is Abram's nephew. Abram's brother is Haran. Haran is Lot's father. This is made explicit in verse 12.
Two verses later, Lot is called Abram's "brother."
Clearly the idea that "brother" among the Semitic peoples can only mean male siblings from the same uterus is wrong.

The idea that Mary was a sinful wife and refused to have sex with Joseph is what is not in Scripture.
Why you insist in ignoring God's word in favor or a silly tradition just proves that you don't believe what God says.
Dave, your soul is in great peril.
