There are two apostles named James.

James, the brother of John, who were fishermen with Peter and Andrew.

And the James of whom you speak; most people believe he was a cousin of Jesus.

Mary was a perpetual virgin; she and Joseph had no other children.

Although the scholars have been arguing for hundreds of years about it I doubt if the James who wrote the epistle was an apostle

The scriptures makes it clear enough for me that Jesus`s family was not following him.

So I have to believe there was a third James who wrote the epistle and who was the overseer in the Church at Jerusalem.

Which is a big reason I do not believe Jesus had any younger brothers or sisters.

Yes I believe Mary only had one Child, if she was a perpetual virgin or not I have no idea.

“a perpetual virgin” that would be a trick after having given birth to at least six children..... read what is written.
