Not enough to matter a hill of beans. Yanni reads New Testament Greek all the time, and has NO PROBLEMS understanding any of it. None. He doesn’t buy the schtick, that the brothers of Jesus were cousins, not for a moment. I don’t buy it either, and nothing you can say, will change my mind.

Don’t fall for it. I don’t. I have assurance of salvation. I am pretty confident, that you don’t. If you don’t, that’s on you bro.
