MARK6:3
And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
Mark 6:2-4 KJV

Yea,Jesus had younger siblings

The jews referred to James, Joses, Judas and Simon as Jesus brethren does not mean they were Mary's sons,
Rather according to the protoevangelium( gospels omitted in the Bible) Joseph was an elderly widower when he chose to be Mary's spouse
The perpetual virginity of Mary has always been reconciled with the biblical references to Christ’s brethren through a proper understanding of the meaning of the term "brethren." The understanding that the brethren of the Lord were Jesus’ stepbrothers (children of Joseph) rather than half-brothers (children of Mary) was the most common one until the time of Jerome (fourth century). It was Jerome who introduced the possibility that Christ’s brethren were actually his cousins, since in Jewish idiom cousins were also referred to as "brethren." The Catholic Church allows the faithful to hold either view, since both are compatible with the reality of Mary’s perpetual virginity.

stop beating about the bush, jude is d one referred to as judas, jude is greek for judas.
Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:
Jude 1:1 KJV

Many people were sitting around Jesus. They said to him, “Your mother, your brothers, and your sisters are waiting for you outside.” Jesus asked, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” Then he looked at the people sitting around him and said, “These people are my mother and my brothers! My true brother and sister and mother are those who do what God wants.”
Mark 3:32-35 ERV

I wonder what ur reason to say mary remained a virgin after the birth of christ is. God only needed her to be a virgin for d conception of christ of which joseph her then fiance was inforned in a dream. How would God create the iinstitution of marriage( of which one of d reason was to b fruitful nd multiply and replenish d earth) and still deprive d lawful husband from touching the wife?
U said a book was omitted from d bible, if it didn't make it into d canon of scripture dat means it is questionable.

James & John are bonafide sons of Mary the mother of Jesus

The story of the conception/birth of Christ in the new testament is a very deep allegory. All the gospels are written in allegory.

Mary is actually Israel, the woman of God, the virgin daughter of Zion.
Joseph is the house of David, the king and husband of Israel, by God's perpetual command/promise.

There was no literal Mary who was bethrothed to a literal Joseph. The virgin birth of Christ is explained as the figurative conception or incarnation of the Word, Who is also God, in the heart of some members of the lineage of David, in other words, the Word became flesh. The Word, which is God, incarnated in the heart of chosen men of the house of David, who is the bethrothed husband of Israel by God's perpetual command. God became flesh, dwelt among flesh, and died to redeem all flesh, i.e. Israel and gentile, from the curse of the law which came about by Israel's disobedience.

Those scribes who wrote those allegories are just GENIUSES, such phenomenal mental aptitude! They are the only ones who fully understood what they wrote. It is a pity that at this point in the evolution of knowledge, we are still struggling with only the surface peripherals of the Bible.
