No. James the half-brother of Jesus seemed to be an unbeliever until he was found with the other believers after the resurrection. This event possibly changed his mind.
James the Apostle was called with John from his fishing. They were both sons of Zebedee, while the James under discussion was a son of Mary and Joseph. James the Apostle was martyred early in history of the church and James the half-brother of Jesus ended up having a place of leadership and respect in the Jerusalem church.
Josephus indicates that James was stoned to death.
James, the brother of Jesus was a son of Mary and Joseph as evidenced by Mark 6:3 and Galatians 1:19.
Catholics believe that Mary remained a virgin her entire life, and interpret the word translated as "brothers" to mean "cousins or other relatives" when it's used regarding Jesus. Under that interpretation, it's not known who his father or mother was.
Answer /
He had two fathers as here recorded:
Joseph: (foster)
Joseph the Carpenter is recorded as father of James the Less and Jesus Christ - The History of Joseph the Carpenter, Matthew 13:55, Mark 6:3.
James son of Joseph brother of Jesus is recorded in stone, Anglicized from Aramaic letters written on the James Ossuary of Oded Golan - The Authenticity of the James Ossuary by Amnon Rosenfeld, Howard R. Feldman, Wolfgang E. Krumbien.
Alphaeus: (Natural)
James is recorded as the son of Alphaeus - The Constitutions of the Twelve Apostles, Acts 1, Matthew 10.
James son of Alphaeus is same as James the Less, and he is matched through the extended family relationship concerning his stepmother 'the other Mary' - Mark 15:40, Matthew 28:1, and her sister (John 19:25) the Virgin Mary, recorded as his foster mother - The History of Joseph the Carpenter, Matthew 13:55, Mark 6:3.
