  1. Jesus brothers are listed in the Gospels, Paul of Tarsus cites « James, the brother of the Lord ». And Josephus, the Jewish historian says that this James was Jesus brother. Sources in the video. And the word used in Greek, adelphos, actually means brother, not cousin or brethren (there are other words for that).

  2. Thé word used in Greek is « brother » (Adelphos). There is another word for « cousin ».

  3.  @Ciprian-IonutPanait  according to Paul of Tarsus, Peter and James «  the brother of the Lord » are in charge of Jerusalem « church ». So, it seems from that sentence that James is not some fellow Christian brother, in a figurative sense, but an actual blood brother. Otherwise, it would not be « the » brother and Peter, as a Christian, would be included. This is confirmed by Josephus, the Jewish historian, who talks of James, the brother of Jesus « called the Christ ». So, sorry, but even Paul agree that James was actually Jesus brother, and this is confirmed by an extra biblical source.

  4.  @Ciprian-IonutPanait  you « disagree » with what? These are facts. And there is no indication anywhere that » Iacub » was Ieshua half brother. That’s just speculations.

  5.  @Ciprian-IonutPanait  i don’t have to fix all the discrepancies and contradictions in the Bible. However. Mary was supposed to be married to Joseph. So she does not need a « son » to help her, unless Joseph was not in Jerusalem, and the other disciples fled and only the « disciple He loved » ( who may not be John* btw) was there. Or the story was made up. Anyway. We have three sources attesting the existence of a James* confirming he was Jesus* brother. And one of these is an extra biblical source. So, you can believe whatever you want, from an historical perspective, there is little doubt Jesus had at least one brother. * I use modern English translations of the name. English is not my native language and I don’t know how Hebrew or aramean names translate into English.

  6.  @Ciprian-IonutPanait  how do you come to the conclusion Joseph had to follow his son? Why Mary could not follow her son without her husband to be there? And I answered all your questions. And, finally, I’ll use the names I’m familiar with, for simplicity.
