In Rms 16 Paul records the usage of συγγενὴς three times.

Greet Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen...Rms 16:7

Greet Herodian, my kinsman. Rms 16:11

Timothy, my fellow worker greets you, and Lucius and Jason and Sosipatar, my kinsmen. Rms 16:21

So you're ok with how Paul identifies these individuals by name and how he views them.

Yet when we go to Galatians 1:19 and Paul calls James, the Lord's brother, you don't buy it.

εἰ μὴ Ἰάκωβον τὸν ἀδελφὸν τοῦ κυρίου

if not James, the brother of the Lord

τοῦ κυρίου is genitive case indicating possession.

James is the Lord's brother.

The catholic rules of Bible interpretation defy any accepted standard.

Galatians uses adelphon for brother; it occurs some 343 times in the New Testament. Is it your position that it always means two brothers have the same physical parents ? Did the Apostle Paul have a brother named Titus who was not Jewish ?
