scripture which clearly mentions Jesus' brothers and sisters and states that the mother was Mary. There is also scripture pointing to James, first Bishop of Jerusalem as the brother of Jesus, and supporting scripture that his mother was Mary.

That, to, was explained many times on this thread, -- see the exegesis in 1600 by InterestedQuestioner and the persistent questions of SoothingDave, who points out that "brothers" and "sisters" make no sense if taken in their narrow meaning.

What is very clear from all the responses is that a strained exegesis of Scripture is needed to support your contentions. The clear meaning of Scripture must be ignored.
