The first thing to understand is that the term brother (Gk. adelphos) has a broader meaning than uterine brothers. It can mean a biological brother, but it can also mean an extended relative, or even a spiritual brother.
Take Genesis 13:8 for example. Here the word brother is being used to describe the relationship between Abraham and Lot, who were not biological brothers but uncle and nephew
Because of the Bibleβs broad semantic range of βbrother,β we can rest assured that although St. Paul writes, β[Jesus] appeared to more than five hundredβ¦brothers at the same timeβ (1 Cor. 15:6), we need not infer from this verse that Mary gave birth to more than 500 children!
James and Joseph (also called Joses), who are called Jesusβ βbrothersβ (Mark 6:3) are indeed the children of MaryβJust not Mary, the mother of Jesus.

Should You Buy Bitcoin?
In general, many financial experts support their clientsβ desire to buy cryptocurrency, but they donβt recommend it unless clients express interest. βThe biggest concern for us is if someone wants to invest in crypto and the investment they choose doesnβt do well, and then all of a sudden they canβt send their kids to college,β says Ian Harvey, a certified financial planner (CFP) in New York City. βThen it wasnβt worth the risk.β The speculative nature of cryptocurrency leads some planners to recommend it for clientsβ βsideβ investments. βSome call it a Vegas account,β says Scott Hammel, a CFP in Dallas. βLetβs keep this away from our real long-term perspective, make sure it doesnβt become too large a portion of your portfolio.β In a very real sense, Bitcoin is like a single stock, and advisors wouldnβt recommend putting a sizable part of your portfolio into any one company. At most, planners suggest putting no more than 1% to 10% into Bitcoin if youβre passionate about it. βIf it was one stock, you would never allocate any significant portion of your portfolio to it,β Hammel says.
