Next time you're talking about what the Bible says, Richard, when you add something you made up out of your own head that isn't in the Bible at all, it would be good if you'd say so. Actually, the descriptions in the Gospel accounts don't say anything about the risen Christ being "up in the

Yes, maybe the angels watched, but we were really talking about human beings. 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 prete
