What the verses say?? They don’t say anything other than Joseph and Mary are His parents and these other people are Adelphoi. The law of averages is against you as I’ve already shown that of the 344 instances of this word in the NT – only 41 (12%) of them probably refer to uterine siblings...

No - only YOUR perversion of the point is wrong. Nowhere has anybody claimed that we don't sin physically. We don't sin accidentally.

Like I said before – if you can’t be honest, then you shouldn’t post. It simply compounds your sin. I never “admitted” to any such nonsense. I stated Biblical fact: That the overwhelming number of cases where “Adelphos(oi)” is used in the NT does NOT mean uterine siblings. You can try to spin...

Of course sin involves action. Is just doesn’t ALWAYS involve action This was exactly what Christ was trying to teach the crowds when He said: Matt. 5:28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Sin is ALL about intent. You...

That’s absolutely false. I never stated that Adelphs “cannot” mean uterine sibling. I said that the overwhelming number of cases where Adelphos is used in the NT – it doesn’t mean uterine sibling. This is just a fact that you can’t handle. I also showed these “named” Adephoi to ve the...

Then show me where it says they are Mary's children. Chapter and Verse, please. And just to make it easier on you, just show me ANY Early Curch evidence . . .

NONSENSE. their sin was disobedience. INTENT, son. It's all about intent . . .

Soooooooo, instead of actually addressing the Bibical evidence I presented, all you can respond with are impotent, snarky comments? Pretty much what I expected from you . . .

Here’s where you have a problem though . . . James the Less (the Younger) is said to be the son of Alphaeus (Mark 3:18). He is ALSO called the son of the “other” Mary at the foot of the cross, Mary, wife of Clopas. “Clopas” is a Greek rendering of the Hebrew “Alphaeus”. James and Joses...

That's NOT what @loDebar said. Sin is all about INTENT. NOT that difficult to understand . . .

Absolutely. Common sense states that they are the children of the other woman called “Mary” at the foot of the cross who was the wife of Clopas/Alphaeus. It says that she was Mary’s (Jesus’ Mother) “Adelphe” (sister). However – we know that they weren’t sisters because they have the SAME...

Yes - that was my point.

Not if you understand that many scholars believe Luke's genealogy narrative to be that of Mary and not Joseph. STUDY your Bible.

It's pathetic, really.

WRONG again. Joseph was His STEPfather – not His blood relative. Besides – according to traditional Jewish law (halacha), Jewishness is passed down through the MOTHER. So, if your mother was Jewish, YOU are too. From Who Is a Jew: Matrilineal Descent | My Jewish Learning Jesus got His...

Couldn't find a verse, huh? That's what I thought . . .

WRONG. Jesus is the heir of David. He HAD to be of the Davidic bloodline (John 7:42,Rev. 22:16) in order to fulfill prophecy. He is even referred to as “Son of David” (Matt. 1:1, Mark 10:48, Rom. 1:3). Jesus calls HIMSELF the “Son of MAN” (Matt. 20:28, Matt. 9:6, Mark 8:38, Luke 18:8). YOUR...

Okay - here is the FULL context: Matt. 13:54-57 Coming to his hometown, he (Jesus) 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...

How these the context "clearly" show this??

Sooooooo, where does it say that these “named” adelphoi of Jesus are Mary’s children?? Acts 1:15 says that there were 120 adelphoi gathered together in Jerusalem to choose a successor for Judas. ELEVEN of them are mentioned by name. Does this mean that they were they ALL from the same...
