But the Scriptures do. "and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas"

Please post the Scripture that calls any of those gentlemen sons of Mary, or that calls Mary their mother.

You can't. It doesn't exist.

In fact, we know who the father of James and Joses are from Scripture; his name is Alphaeus (Matthew 10:3). We know also that James and Judas (not the Iscariot) were not really blood brothers, but father and son (Acts 1:13).

Those are facts we can actually establish from Scripture. The idea that James was the son of Mary the mother of Jesus, is not.

There were two James--James the brother of Jesus and James, the son of Alpheaus. Father & son, from whence did you get THAT fairytale?
