That is not said in Mt. 13:55/Mk. 6:3, rather "is not ... his brethren (brothers) James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Jude."
The Greek word for "brother" [singular] is "ἀδελφός" (adelphos) and "brothers" [plural] is "ἀδελφοὶ" (adelphoi), and it has a range of meanings, e.g., "fellow believer,"...

He "shall" be called because at the time Jesus wasn't yet born when Isaiah spoke the prophecy!
... For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given ... it's about His birth.
All Fathers give life. It still means what it means. It literally means Father. So Jesus is a Father. I say He is...
I think this is a regrettable stance, which I presume emerged from replacement theology and the oft acrimonious partisan environment of Jewish-Christian relations after the destruction of the Temple.
It is apparent that the New Testament authors were very deeply embedded in their Second Temple...
2) no explicit connection between Jesus and Michael... which is odd if its so important
The title Arch (Chief) Angel (Messenger) and Jesus being God's spokesman would seem to show some connection.
Who do you think "The Angel of the Lord" was in the burning bush account...

In Greek Judas is the same word for Judah, so it is a metaphoric placement: that Judah paid the 30 pieces of silver, and put it in the Potters-field in the house of Israel (Zechariah 11:12-13).
This ended both the Abrahamic (Zechariah 11:10), and the Sinai covenants (Zechariah 11:14) - thus...

What part of "the Gospels were not written by eyewitnesses" was not understood? The Book of Mark is in the Gospels, and the author of Acts is also anonymous. It does not matter that a book is saying "such and such" when that book is 3rd party hearsay.
Here: Acts and the Gospel of Luke make up a...

Let me put this in a way you're most likely to understand...
I don't wanna offend anyone here, but before I answer your question, why do you believe that God's name is Jehovah? Sorry but I don't think that there is letter "J" in the hebrew alphabet.
It is common knowledge today, that the Israelite's Nations way of worship was a Monotheistic way of Worship of only one single God; who had instructed that entire Nation, that was the way he wished to be viewed, and worshipped, in their days. This can be seen from the conversation Moses was...
