The Bible specifically mentions Jesus had brothers and sisters. >>>
Those were his cousins.
“Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers? they asked. Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary, and aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas? Aren’t all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things.”
Matthew 13:54-56
“Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.”
“Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked.
Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said. “Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother”
Mark 3:31-35
Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph (Joses), Judas, and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us? And they took offense at him.
Mark 6:3
The Bible uses the terms brothers and sisters. YOU refer to cousins. I will stick to what it says in the Bible if that’s OK. I don’t change word meanings or make assumptions especially to fit some sort of doctrine or dogma. We could then make up all sorts of things. Abel was not really the brother of Cain, he was a cousin. Aaron was not really the brother of Moses, he was cousin. Etc. I don’t read into the Bible that way. I read it as it is written and I don’t make things up.
