What a Lie!
If there is no word for cousin then explain how Mary could visit her cousin that was pregnant with John the Baptist?
Or that John the Baptist was also refered to as Jesus cousin?
Seems you lie about the differance the Bible clearly makes between brothers,sisters,and cousins.

Can you tell me the Aramaic word for “cousin” then?

Craftmore, I cannot figure out why it is necessary to so vehemently accuse someone of lying simply because they disagree with you. A little respect and civility might further everyone’s understanding.

That said, Salvation, I am not sure that the absence of a word for cousin in Aramaic would necessarily lead to the conclusion that Jesus had no brothers or sisters. It opens the door for that possibility, but it is not a logical necessity as far as I can tell.
