Judy I did NOT confirm that the hovering was something Richard made up! For all I know, he really thought that. Or maybe he just misspoke. I don't think he lied or trolled. All in all, I definitely think that this exchange has been the creation of several people, not just Richard.

And I've never disputed that Mary Magdalene was the first human to see the risen Christ according to Matthew, Mark, and John--but not Luke. So Richard was wrong about Luke (until he changed "see" to "realize" and pretended that's what he'd been saying all along). And again, there was never a disagreement about Mary M. having been first to see the risen Christ according to the other three Gospels, so Richard wasn't "right" about that if you're implying that means I was wrong. I guess it's too much to expect that you would acknowledge that this whole fuss has been a matter of Richard's trolling and lying. But thanks at least for confirming that the risen Christ "hovering" was something Richard made up. << Having read the gospel excerpts, I even wonder if Mary M was the first to see the risen Christ. Maybe the angel at His tomb was the first to see Him. Anyway, I think you are right that risen in terms of the resurrection does not mean hovering. And I think Richard is right in that Mary M was the first human to see the risen Christ. >> On Wednesday, January 1, 2014 1:20 PM, "authfriend@..." <authfriend@...> wrote: As you know, she was a witness to the risen Christ, not to the resurrection itself.
