Kevigen of Alexandria | How Many Jameses (Jamesi?) are there in the New Testament? And does it even matter? @Kevigen | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 3 hours ago
Hello friends,
This is a third video about the James, the brother of the Lord, and possibly the last one that I will make on this topic, at least for now. In this video, I question my prior assumption that there are only two James (Jameses? Jamesi?) in the New Testament - James the Greater and James the Less. What if James the Less is not actually James the Son of Alphaeus? Why isn't James the Just ever mentioned in the New Testament? And wait, James son of Zebedeee is never called James the Greater?? I am so confused.
Chapters
0:00 Introduction
0:56 Hacking into the Vatican Website to gain secret knowledge
1:50 Combining and removing the various titles of James the Greater
4:53 Combining the various titles of the non-Greater Jameses
7:26 Collapsing all titles into only two Jameses
8:08 St. Jerome backs me up
9:20 The Argument from the Brother of Matthew
11:57 The Argument from Uncertainty
13:50 St. Jerome's Butt
13:51 Combining Names to protect the Perpetual Virginity of Mary
14:16 Does any of this even matter?
