Grok-AI rendering of James, half-brother of Jesus
Did Jesus have blood relatives? Are there are any historical accounts that mention descendants of those relatives, sometimes called the desposyni or desposynos? Do Roman Catholic translations of the Bible show that Jesus had half-brothers? Were the earliest references to His mother Mary being a perpetual virgin the false 'Gospel of Peter' and the false 'Protoevangelium of James'? Were James and Joseph and Simon and Judas half-brothers of Jesus? Could Clopas have been Jesus' uncle? Who is it claimed that the sisters Salome and Mary were? Might Joseph of Arimathea have been a relative of Jesus who went to Britain? Was the 'mother church' originally in Jerusalem? What happened to James the Just? What about Symeon? Did early Christians flee to Pella? Might Judah Kyriakos have gone to Pella and then Edessa from Jerusalem? Could Jude/Thaddeus have gone to Armenia? Did Eusebius report relatives of Jesus in the fourth century? What did Roman Catholic priest Malachi Martin report about in a 318 A.D. meeting between the desposyni and Bishop of Rome Sylvester? Did Emperor Constantine support Sunday worship? Did the faithful keep the Sabbath in Mesopotamia, Assyria, and areas considered Chaldean? Were at least three pre-135 A.D. bishops of Jerusalem relatives of Jesus? Were relatives of Jesus claimed to be in the apostolic succession lists in Edessa? Did Jesus half-brother Jude write that Christians were to continue, or contend for, the original Christian faith?
