to be ANYTHING other than "brother" and "sisters." NOT ONE SINGLE
ENGLISH TRANSLATION WITH _YOUR_ MADE-UP "cousins."

Did you know that Peter had 120 brothers? Acts 1:15.

In other words, you have NO ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS THAT AGREE WITH YOU.

Go figure!

And your claim about Acts 1:15? Stupid, of course. . .

Acts 1:15-17
And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples
(altogether the number of names was about a hundred and twenty), and
said, 16 "Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, which
the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas,
who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus; 17 for he was numbered
with us and obtained a part in this ministry."
NKJV

We Christians are ALL "brethren" in that sense. But the passage in
Mark 6 is NOT IN THAT CONTEXT. It lists MARY as His mother (a
PHYSICAL relationship), followed by the names of his brothers and
mention of his sisters (who IN CONTEXT would be in the SAME
relationship to Him).

You may play silly word-games dukey, but you STILL cannot find ONE
SINGLE TRANSLATION IN ENGLISH WHERE _ANY_ TRANSLATOR CALLS THEM
"cousins" AS YOU PRETEND IT SHOLD BE!

NOT EVEN catholic TRANSLATIONS

LOL!

Oh, I see now. You're confused as to their true status, so you make things up.

It is not I who make up things. YOU are pretending that Jesus'
brothers and sisters aren't what the TEXT SAYS, but are instead
"cousins," something even your catholic translators DISAGREE WITH YOU
ABOUT!

Go figure!

in Christ Jesus,
