Also try John 19:26-27

When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple there whom he loved, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son." Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother." And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.

If James was Mary's son why would Jesus give His Mother to John?

the Bible says; "the disciple there whom he loved" - no where does it name this disciple as John - (anymore than other passages ever named MM as a prostitute)There are many suppositions as to who this disciple might be...can't state as fact it was John just because it fits ones agenda

The RC has twisted itself inside out to cover up personal relationships with Jesus, as an actual bloodline would introduce serious questions of postulations made by the church to prop up it's claim of supremacy

“If James was Mary’s son why would Jesus give His Mother to John?”

Because nowhere does it say that James believed Jesus at this time or that he was present at the cross and John, Jesus’ cousin and closest friend (the disciple Jesus loved)demonstrated his faith and courage by being there in spite of the danger with his mother Salome, Mary’s sister. So it would be natural for Him as the eldest boy in the family who had the responsibility for His mother (or friend or significant woman depending on how you interpret “mother”)to entrust her to John and keep it in the family.
