The first show of a three-part special where I cover a little-known manuscript called the Gosepl of Gamaliel. Written by the brother of Nicodemus, both of them had been part of the Pharisee Council which ruled over Israel. But having witnessed the miracles associated to life of Christ, they became converts of Yahushua. Nicodemus together with Joseph of Arimathea, prepare the body of Christ for burial on the eve of the Sabbath of unleavened bread. Today is Passover, all honor, praise, and glory to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for the sacrifice made by Christ for the sins of the world. I pray you realize that it is only through Him as the way and light of truth that we can be redeemed to eternity and restored to our former estate. Remember, my friends and family from whence thou art fallen and do the first works. He that is greatest amongst us all, is he who in the example of Christ services humanity to remembrance on our fall and way home. Yahuah bless you

The word adelphos is used for Jesus' brothers, but adelphos can mean half or step brothers. I tend to believe Mary had children with Joseph as it's commanded in the Law for husbands and wives to perform their marital duties, which is also mentioned in 1Cor 7:3-5, andbecause actual biblical marriage takes place with consummation, not because of some ceremony.
Then again, there could be some loophole, and things I don't know or understand, so I'm not dogmatic about it.
Not sure what any of that has to do wirh "believing every text" though. (I assume you mean everything written in every text) Or why it would make you think you needed to explain that apocryphal texts aren't canonical – considering that simple fact is explained by the name apocryphal.
According to Josephus Wars 2.119 the Pharisees and the Saducees were primarily NON ISRAELITES. He explains that only the Essenes were "Judah by birth" (only a remnant of the House of Judah remained in Palestine after most of them, and all of the House of Israel had been carried awsy captive and dispersed among the nations. The House of Judah = the tribes of Judah and Benjamin).
I say primarily because nothing is ever 100% black or white, and Josephus doesn't go into detail, but we know that a very small number of Pharisees believed Christ and behaved honorably, totally uncharacteristic of the serpent seed, and therefore must have been like Paul – actual Israelites who became caught up in their fakse doctrines.
He likewise recorded in Antiquities 13.9.1 how the serpent seed Edomites (Edom took wives of the daughters of Canaan, and the Canaanites had absorbed the Kenites and Nephilim) became "Judaeans" (these days erroneously rendered as "Jews") after being conquered by John Hyrcanus in 125 BC, and subsequently forced to follow the Law and be circumcised. (Rev 2:9 & 3:9, Mat 23:33-36, John 8:44, 1John 2:18-23, etc)
Considering that Edomites infiltrated the government and institutions of Judaea, and adopted the remnant Israelites' identity and customs, it follows that the Pharisees and Saducees were predominantly Edomites, like Herod the Great and his dynasty.
Praise Jesus!! We shall live with Him forever
Praise be to the Father Yahuah, and the Son Messiah Yahusha/Jesus & Holy Spirit. WOW Zen, thank you for sharing, Sooo moving to hear the virgin mother Mary cry out so painfully from her broken heart at the evil and injustice brought upon her beloved son Yahusha/Jesus, and so good to hear her recovery on seeing her beloved son raised up into His glorified body at the tomb, a wonderful reading Zen, thank you, Praise Yah, HalleluYah, amĕn.
This is so so sad :(!
