>He would not even have had access to such a person. There were no Pagan
temples in Jewish Jerusalem.
Jesus grew up in the boondocks, not the capital. Pagans were common,
even after nearly a millennium of Jewish repression. All the Jews did
was drive out the temples. The pagans remained. Many Jews themselves
were pagans or still practiced elements of pagan religion (as do we
today). They also married pagans.
> Mary could have been his sister.
Indeed. She could also have been his wife. Some people say that the
miracle of the wine and the water was at Jesus’ own wedding feast.
Jewish culture as well as Jewish religion so strongly supported marriage
that it is inconceivable that a man could reach thirty, still be
unmarried, and not be utterly rejected by the other people of the
culture. He certainly couldn’t have gained a following.
