Don't worry, we're talking about what the Bible says (or in Richard's case,
what it doesn't say), not necessarily what we believe personally.
That's the same mistake Barry keeps making regarding Maharishi sez. He
assumes that if a person quotes or cites Maharishi, they must be endorsing what
he said.
I still can't believe that some 2000 years later that people still believe
there was a magic person back them. C'mon not even a lot of theologists
believe that!
Actually most theologians agree that Jesus existed. Whether he was magic or
not is another question entirely.

Let me make myself clear: Mary Magdalene was the first person to see Jesus
after the crucifixion when He had risen up out of His tomb, hovering in the
air. The Ascension into heaven came later. Mary Magdalene was the first person
to see the risen Christ. All the four gospels agree on this: Matthew 28:1, Mark
16:1, Luke 24:10, and John 20:1.
Christ was hovering in the air above the tomb when he appeared to Mary
Magdalene, she was the first to see Him and this was forty days BEFORE the
Ascension when He was taken up into the clouds into heaven.

She saw him risen from the grave, but not risen into the sky. The Ascension
didn't take place for another 40 days, and only the remaining disciples
witnessed it.

Maybe it's time to get all our ducks in a row: Mary Magdalene was the first
person to see the risen Christ.

Wait- on! Wait- on! Mike wasn't insinuating anything about Jesus being
indifferent towards any sin. Jesus came not to judge but to serve( Isaiah 53)
as the *suffering servant*, showing mankind how to live life. Judge not , lest
ye be judged , Do unto others... etc. Jesus said He has the power to forgive
sin, doesn't mean He's in favor of it.

I don't think a couple of spiritual teachers talking about indifference
relates to anything Mike was posting about. Maybe not, but I think Mike's point
was that Jesus was indifferent to social mores concerning adultery. From what
I've read, hardly anybody back then was indifferent to having multiple wives -
they were all in favor of it. So, if Jesus was forgiving about adultery, I
wonder if he was also in favor of polygamy? And, I don't think any spiritual
teachers back then were in favor of polyandry, except maybe over in India. But,
I guess it all depends on what you mean by spiritual teachers. According to
Robin, Saul had a spiritual experience on the road to Damascus when he thought
he had seen the risen Christ for the first time; but everyone knows that Mary
Magdalene was the first to see the Jesus rise up into the sky. Obviously the
New Testament was written by men. Go figure.
I don't care what you think and I wasn't talkin' to you. Keep your pie hole
shut and give the little lady a chance to speak for herself. She's not quite a
corpse yet. Go figure.
