Concerning the family of Jesus, Joseph was much older than Mary, and had several children from another woman before their marriage.[1]  These children were the "brothers of Jesus" mentioned in the gospels, although they were technically step-brothers.  Among them were James, who became the first pastor/bishop of the church in Jerusalem,[2] and Jude, whose grandchildren successfully argued the case of the Christians before the Roman Emperor Domitian, resulting in the release of John from the mines of Patmos, where he had written Revelation.[3]

     Because the step brothers were older, Jesus was both the youngest sibling in the family, and he was also the firstborn from Mary's womb.  That Jesus was both the youngest sibling and the firstborn of the womb is an unusual paradox, especially in light of the Old Testament, for in the Old Testament, it is the younger sibling that receives blessings, and it is the firstborn that receives sanctification.  David, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, and probably also Abraham and Shem were the younger siblings of their families, and they received greater blessings than their brothers.[4]  As for the firstborn, the most ancient part of the Old Testament, the Yahwist Narrative, says, "All that opens the womb is mine… so redeem all your firstborn sons."[5]

     Thus we gain a mystery concerning the Prophetic nature of Christ's incarnation.  Jesus Christ achieved both blessing and sanctification under the Law.  This is a most unusual paradox, for seldom is the firstborn of a womb also the youngest sibling in a family, and therefore this event on account of its rarity and paradox constitutes a fingerprint of the divine plan.

     As for the notion that the "brothers of Jesus" were merely cousins, this invention became popular in the 5^th century – yet long before then, Hegesippus, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, Origen, Archelaus & Manes, Eusebius, and even the gospels themselves had all testified that they were brothers, and nowhere imply they were cousins.[6] 

          Jesus' actual cousins were James and John the sons of Zebedee, for Joseph had a sister named Salome, who married Zebedee, and their sons were the famous Apostles.  It is even recorded that Salome personally examined Saint Mary's vagina, and certified that she was indeed still a virgin, even after she gave birth to Jesus.[7]  Joseph's brother was Cleopas,[8] the same Cleopas who saw the resurrected Christ on the road to Emmaus,[9] and who is mentioned above regarding 3^rd Corinthians.

The creationist narrative in Genesis 1 is contradicted by many ancient Christian texts.  Instead of an Almighty Creator God, ancient Christian texts espouse that the universe is born from blind arrogance and stupidity.  The angels caused evolution to occur from species to species.  There are many gods, (or aliens?), and the Christian God is just one among them.  Satan the Devil writes scripture, and thus the Bible was polluted with Genesis 1.  Archaeology and modern scholarship demonstrate that Genesis is indeed corrupted.  Cavemen walk with Adam and Eve.  Esoteric prophecies reveal the coming of Christ, and also reveal the dark forces that govern the cosmos.  Such are the ancient Christian writings.

Science vindicates the truth of these ideas.  Evolution often happens too fast for Darwin’s theory.  Gaps in the fossil record indicate that some kind of unnatural force acts together with natural selection.  Astrobiology reveals that intelligent life probably evolved long before us.  The fossil record reveals strange clues that aliens abducted species and transported them across oceans, and that DNA from diverse lineages was combined to spawn hybrid species.  Evidently, aliens influence evolution, and they are the gods of the world’s religions. 

This is not fiction.  All these facts are thoroughly documented in the links above.
