Again, nobody is disupting this. Share's lost the plot completely because she didn't read the posts with any attention and is much more interested in defending Richard than getting the story straight about his lying trolls.
<< > Judy, I think you and Richard were using the word *risen* in different ways. Richard was saying that Mary M was first to see Jesus after he had risen from the dead whereas you were talking about Jesus' ascension into heaven. According to the Bible, Christ had risen from the grave - before that Jesus was dead. His soul rose up out of the grave in a rising. His soul rose up and became the Christ. That's when he was seen for the first time by Mary Magdalene - she was the first to see the risen Christ. There were two omen at the tomb- Mary Magdalene and the mother of James. They had come from Galilee. According to the Gospels, there were two women who saw the risen Christ - one was Mary Magdalene and the other was James' mother. Or, put another way, the risen Christ appeared to Mary Magdalene, and another woman, both from Galilee. >>
