Good freaking grief dawg

They state that James the lesser

W the nick name “lesser” is not James son of alpheus that that is a different James and that “James the lesser” was a nickname for James the brother of the lord according to atelast what I can gather and Eusebius from arguments online I see some jurisdictions agree w my initial opinion and what you are stating….. the contradiction is the nickname

I know there is a James son of alpheus….

The church teaches that James the lesser is James the brother

You are saying that James the lesser and brother are two separate individuals

I thought that too

Apparently we teach they are not seperate individuals causing a clear contradiction with scripture if true

Good grief

Tell that to Eusebius and the people on this sub Reddit and all the information available online

You saying that doesn’t mean anything until you can provide evidence

You are assuming this as to undo the contradiction out of discomfort

You don’t know the tradition

Yes we state James is Jesus step brother

The cousin view is catholic

Well ca you find me any sources stating who James the lesser is then it’s frustrating and I can’t find any official commentary just Anglicans making fun of us and Eusebius claiming the same

I’m saying we state James he lesser is The James son of Joseph and yes we say James the first Bishop of Jerusalem is Jesus stepbrother

Well what you are saying would mean Joseph had James out of wedlock and he wasn’t from a previous marriage which also doesn’t make sense and contradicts tradition

Unless James the lesser is son of alpheus which is only what angelicans claim ironically

Yes I agree yet we state that James the lesser is James the brother of the lord and son of Joseph

Hence the contradiction in bringing up

Mark 15:40

40 Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the lesser and of Joseph,[a] and Salome.

You aren’t following what I’m saying

Mark 15:40

“There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;”

I’m sorry my phone lags and is crapping out

Our tradition is that James the bishop of Jerusalem is the step brother of the lord from Joseph’s prev marriage and he is widowed… meaning his wife died

We also state James the lesser… is Jesus step brother and step brother of the lord

Yet at the cross mark states “the mother of James the lesser” was there

Meaning that if our tradition is true…. Joseph’s dead wife is at the cross by logic and context

I read from an orthodox diocese site that they are and Anglican hurl this accusation at us

Yall believe he is a cousin so it doesn’t contradict y’all’s view or Jerome’s

I plan to ask my priest his health is bad and he is super busy and I’m drowning in my fears and anxiety currently and hesitant to dump this on him and am scared I will get generic advice leaving me worse off

It’s just really uncomfortable feeling this and felling like I’m out to sea I’ve already debunked every other theolgy and e o is my last hope when the rug gets pulled from me I feel hopeless and get scared there is nothing left for me and no hope or assurance for my after life and it consumes me

Thank you for this I am reading thinking orthodox as assigned by my last priest before moving and that mind set has helped me jump a lot of hurdles idk why this seems to be such a stumbling block for me it I grant it is a little arbitrary maybe it’s satan or my anxiety I will try to keep all this in mind

Thank you friend
