    Has the church got Genesis all wrong?

    Jethro was a preist in the Druze religion of that Time. And yes he became a believer and offered sacrifices with witnesses people with him. Jethro had some good advice for Moses nothing wrong with that. The sayings have to do with Moses sons, Both Gershom and Eliezer were born during the time...

    Has the church got Genesis all wrong?

    In the chapter it's Jethro who becomes a true believer in the LORD. And might be an example of how long it takes for God to use someone for His purposes. Exodus 18 1Now Moses’ father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian, heard about all that God had done for Moses and His people Israel, and how...

    Why wouldn't Amram be Moses father. It does have a interesting meaning.

    The tyranny of doctrinal unity - "Join or die."

    With all that unnecessary language, it appears you are horned.

    Were the brothers in Matthew 13:55 Mary's sons?

    That's another twist in thinking you know my thoughts. My thoughts are just the opposite since Cephas was one of the twelve. He talked to him then the group of twelve as a whole. And that should be plain for you to understand in the verse. But you tryed to twist some ignorant logic into it...

    Were the brothers in Matthew 13:55 Mary's sons?

    I agree your grasping at straws, to argue a perpetual vigin concept. Is there two Alphaeus or one?

    Were the brothers in Matthew 13:55 Mary's sons?

    Ooo so all of a sudden Levi cant be called James, but it's ok with James given a title the lords brother. Or Cephas called Peter or Simon. You contradict most everything you say. So is Matthew describing himself? "And when Jesus passed on from hence, he saw a man sitting in the custom house...

    Like Simon to Peter to Cephas, Levi to James. And Matthew and his brother which are not the sons of Alphaeus. But Levi whos title was James.

    Were the brothers in Matthew 13:55 Mary's sons?

    You mean Levi Mark 2 14 As He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting in the tax booth, and He said to him, “Follow Me!” And he got up and followed Him. And in these verses James isn't of the twelve, but an apostle in verse seven. 1cor 15 5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to...

    Were the brothers in Matthew 13:55 Mary's sons?

    There isn't two James of the twelve. And James and John were sons of Zebedee. Paul certainly would of said James (Zebedee son) or James (John's brother). If that James was Zebedee son and John's brother. Paul had apostles, Peter had apostles, so did James have apostles. And all three were...

    Were the brothers in Matthew 13:55 Mary's sons?

    Yes they can, Jesus called the brothers James and John two of the twelve, "Sons of Thunder". the James in Gal 19 is the Lord's brother. mark 3:17 and to James the son of Zebedee, and to his brother John, he gave the name “Boanerges” (that is, “Sons of Thunder” ); More than likely because of a...

    Were the brothers in Matthew 13:55 Mary's sons?

    Hmm, a king and his son. Matthew 22 1 Once again, Jesus spoke to them in parables: 2 “The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. 3 He sent his servants to call those he had invited to the banquet, but they refused to come.

    Were the brothers in Matthew 13:55 Mary's sons?

    Why can't Paul show the difference between the two people he saw. And the statement have nothing to do with rather both were of the twelve chosen. Certainly Paul was an apostle and afew other titles. But especially after the title of apostles expanded during Paul's time. And Jesus brother became...

    Were the brothers in Matthew 13:55 Mary's sons?

    Because Paul included the title so you would understand the difference of the two apostles present, one apostle was not Jesus brother and the other apostle was Jesus brother. Since the account happens years after Jesus and everyone in his time are apostles, that's why Paul makes the...

    Were the brothers in Matthew 13:55 Mary's sons?

    Same reason why Paul wasn't one of the twelve apostles but nonetheless an apostle just like James the Lord's brother. What's the difference between 12 disciples and 12 apostles? And what's the difference between disciples and apostles? 1 Corinthians 15:9 For I am the least of the apostles...

    Were the brothers in Matthew 13:55 Mary's sons?

    For the same reason the Joseph in the verse below, wasn't one of the twelve disciples but a disciple nonetheless just like James the Lord's brother. Or do you think Joseph of Arimathaea was one of the twelve disciples? Matthew 27:57 When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea...

    Were the brothers in Matthew 13:55 Mary's sons?

    The verses doesn't talk about any amount of apostles just apostles. there was plenty of apostles in Paul's time. Just because Peter of the twelve was there, doesn't mean James the Lord's brother was one of the twelve. He saw no other apostles period. do you understand Paul's statements are...

    Were the brothers in Matthew 13:55 Mary's sons?

    The Lord's brother James was an apostle as Paul was. And that's why Paul distinguished one of the twelve Peter the apostle from the Lord's brother who was an apostle just not one of the twelve. And he didn't say he didn't see any of the other twelve apostles, your adding the statement of twelve...

    Were the brothers in Matthew 13:55 Mary's sons?

    Galatians is after the four gospels. Just because Jesus brother James was there doesn't mean he was one of the twelve who Jesus had chosen back in the four gospels. No James Jesus's brother became a apostle a disciple after Jesus was gone. In Gal Paul makes that distinction about James the...
