How many times have was told you that the word “brother” in the Bible is a word used as brethren. They were not what you would call blood-brothers. Probably cousins.

And how many times have you been told that there is a word for cousins in the Greek.....but it is not used in relation to Jesus' brothers or sisters.

With the catholic insistence on Mary remaining a virgin, they are calling Paul a liar when he notes in Galatians 1 that he met with James, brother of Jesus. The Greek indicates this was indeed the brother of Jesus.

I'll take Paul's word on this as he met the man.

In the other passages in Matthew, Mark and Luke the context of the passage clearly indicates Jesus had brothers and sisters.

Sorry, meant to include you on the post.

I’ll take Jesus’ word any day.

He gave his mother to the apostle, John, and to all mankind.

And of course "until" doesn't mean until in Matthew 1:25.
