We know very well the brothers of Jesus didn't believe in him while he was alive!
1Corinthians 15:
[1] Now I would remind you, brethren, in what terms I preached to you the gospel, which you received, in which you stand,
[2] by which you are saved, if you hold it fast -- unless you believed in vain.
[3] For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures,
[4] that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures,
[5] and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
Did the twelve include Peter?
[6] Then he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.
[7] Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
Name the Apostles. Are they the same ones referenced in verse 5?
[8] Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.
How many Apostles do you count now?
Busy huh?
Did Paul come along before or after the crucifiction? Was Paul an Apostle?
How is this relevant to my post about the various James and who their parents are? Can you respond to it, or do you need to join the deflectors league?
There are two Jameses identified in Scripture as "brothers" of Jesus and neither one of them have Joseph for a father.
How this can go un-responded-to is a mystery.
What other James is found in Scripture that is the blood half-brother, out of Mary's womb and Joseph's seed, of Jesus?
