“But He answered and said to the one who told Him, ‘Who is My mother and who are My brothers?’ And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, ‘Here are My mother and My brothers! For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”

The word that is translated as ‘brothers’ is actually adelphoi in the Greek. Exact same as in Philadelphia, (Philo-adelphoi), city of Brotherly love. ;)

You can check it out for yourself. Adelphoi isn’t limited to ‘blood brothers’. That’s not how the Greek word is used.

How convenient to ignore the context again.

The emphasis.

THE TOTAL POINT OF THE VERSES

IS TOTALLY LOST

UNLESS THE MEANING IS AS USUALLY TRANSLATED BY FAIR-MINDED QUALITY TRANSLATORS . . .

BLOOD BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

Your house of Vatican Cult Cards still falls.
