Jesus is God's Son. (John 10:36) Jehovah, the only true God, is Jesus' Father. Ps. 83:18; John 17:3

Yes, he had biological brothers. The four Gospels, the Acts of Apostles, and two of Paul’s letters mention “the Lord’s brothers,” “the brother of the Lord,” “his brothers,” “his sisters,” naming four of the “brothers”: James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas. (Mt 12:46; 13:55, 56; Mr 3:31; Lu 8:19; Joh 2:12; Ac 1:14; 1Co 9:5; Ga 1:19) The majority of Bible scholars accept the cumulative evidence that Jesus had at least four brothers and two sisters and that all were offspring of Joseph and Mary by natural means after the miraculous birth of Jesus.

No, Jesus had half brothers and sisters, they were Josephs children from his first wife. Mary only had one child and that was Jesus.

When forty years of age, Joseph married a woman called Melcha or Escha by some, Salome by others; they lived forty-nine years together and had six children, two daughters and four sons, the youngest of whom was James (the Less, "the Lord's brother"). A year after his wife's death, as the priests announced through Judea that they wished to find in the tribe of Juda a respectable man to espouse Mary, then twelve to fourteen years of age. Joseph, who was at the time ninety years old, went up to Jerusalem among the candidates; a miracle manifested the choice God had made of Joseph, and two years later the Annunciation took place.

YES! Several are named in scripture.

Mt 13:55 “Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother’s name Mary? Aren’t his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas?

Gal 1:19 I didn’t see any of the other apostles. I only saw James, the Lord’s brother.

DCFN: See Matthew 13:56 "His sisters are with us..."

...Most definitely; observe Mark 6:2-4 -
...2 When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue; and the many listeners were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things, and what is this wisdom given to Him, and such miracles as these performed by His hands?
...3 "Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are not His sisters here with us?" And they took offense at Him.
...4 Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and among his own relatives and in his own household."

1/2 siblings. The Father was Jesus' Father in spirit and flesh. Joseph was the father of Jesus' brothers and sisters in the flesh.

yes
Matthew 13:
54Coming to his hometown, he began teaching the people in their synagogue, and they were amazed. "Where did this man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?" they asked. 55"Isn't this the carpenter's son? Isn't his mother's name Mary, and aren't his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? 56Aren't all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?"

James was a leader in the church and so was Judas (common name back then). It's interesting though they didn't believe he was the Christ until he rose from the dead. Imagine your mother telling you your older brother is God's son!!

he did, so there should be people around today, with jesus bein there ancestor, anyway as i dont believe this whole story of jesus being god or gods son, christians have you believe that jesus was devine and his mum mary was a virgin and so on, surely if god wanted this women to carry his son, he woudnt of let her have more children, mary was pegnant before her and joseph married, thats y they had to go far away, when others realized she wernt a married woman, she come up with this story, maybe jesus did believe he was gods son, but in fact he was as we all are gods children, and isnt it true that jesus had a child of his own.

Mary and Joseph created together seven children AFTER Jesus. Jesus had four half-brothers, and three half-sisters.

Yes, Jesus had biological brothers.
After Christ was born, Joseph and Mary had children together, and I think that they were all boys.

James and Jude in the bible were the half brothers of the Lord Jesus. Mary and Joseph's sons.

But on a deeper level YES the Lord has biological brothers
In resurrection Jesus Christ became the firstborn among many brothers.

Our Lord died in three statuses
1-The Lamb.. to take away our sins

2-The brass serpent.. to deal with the old serpent satan and to deal with the serpentine poison of sinful nature in us

3- As the GRAIN OF WHEAT that fell into the earth to die so that He can produce the many grains

This third status is crucial. The Lord died as this grain of Wheat that He can release all the Divine Life of the Father to us. That one day we can call upon the Name of Jesus and be regenerated in our spirits to receive and be begotten of God to be children of God.
THIS IS NOT ADOPTION.. we are Born of the Spirit..
Jn 4 shows us that that which is born of Spirit is spirit.
So this deep part of man.. this spirit deep in him is begotten of God. We received the divine seed of God into us and in this divine seed holds all the Genetics and Dna of God in His life and nature.
As we take the time to grow in this Life of God by feeding in the word and drinking of the Spirit through prayer and fellowship with other believers we grow. As we mature this divine seed in us manifests all the divine attributes of God in our human virtues.

On the morning of the Lord's resurrection he told mary... GO and tell MY BROTHERS . I ascend to the Father.. to MY Father and YOUR Father.. to MY God and YOUR God...

Is this not precious?
Then on the night of His resurrection in John 20:22 He came to them in the room and said" Peace be with you .. then He breathe into them and said.. receive the Holy SPirit"
In that moment these disciples became regenerated with the Life of the Father in their spirits.

Praise the Lord.. we TOO called upon the Lord and confessed our sins... and believed in our hearts that Jesus died for us. We received God's life into us.. we were begotten as Children of God..Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!!


In Christ
