Paul mentions "James the Lord's brother" and his death on the cross in several places, so The Jesus Puzzle argument is just ignorant at best and deceitful at worst.
Does it really need to be said that this is the biggest crock of shit from the apologist side? Let me ask, do you know what word was substituted throughout the Old Testament whenever Yahweh appeared? The word was Adonai which just so happens to be translated as LORD. What was written was James the brother of Yahweh. Where is your historical idiocy now?
