James, the brother of Jesus was not appointed until after the death of Jesus.
This James: Acts 15:13: After they finished speaking, James replied, "Brethren, listen to me.
And this James: Galatians 1:19: "But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord's brother."
If you have so much time on your hands plough through this stuff.
Of course not. It's only the Bible. Why should we examine it when we are talking about religion?

OK. Where is this captured in Scripture?
This James: Acts 15:13: After they finished speaking, James replied, "Brethren, listen to me.
OK. The Apostles are listed in Acts 1. There are two Jameses the "James and John" one and the "son of Alphaeus" one.
In Acts 12 we learn that the "James and John" James is killed. That leaves one James.
What makes you think the James in Acts 15 is some other James and not the one already an Apostle and already introduced in the narrative?
Does that make any sense that a brand new character is introduced without mention?
