THE REASON WHY WE ARE FIGHTING IS BECAUSE WE ARE DEALING WITH THE SILENCT PARTS OF THE BIBLE YET OUT SPOKEN ONES(BLACK AND WHITE) LIKE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, TO LOVE GOD IS TO HATE EVIL, WE HAVE NOT DEALT WITH THAT YET. SO LETS LEAVE THE SILENT PARTS OF THE BIBLE LIKE JESUS WAS MARRIED BUSINESS.

It is true, the bible does not say Mary Magdalene is a prostitute. One of the popes labeled her as one to try and show people that Jesus loves and forgives you no matter how grave your sin is. The Bible does not say she is a prostitute.

I dont think that is entirley true. Luke was a man of high social status, a doc to be precise. He wrote the book of luke out of extensive research. And this is what luke says about christ's chilhood life Luke 2:40 "And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom,and the grace of God was upon him."As a little child, Jesus already was "strong in [the] Spirit" and "filled with wisdom." Though not specifically stated, this surely implies that He, like John the Baptist (Luke 1:15), was filled with the Holy Spirit from His mother's womb. You will note that both christ and John were for a time in seclusion in the wilderness. This actually prevented them from coming into contact with negative jewish influence in their early lives.

I agree with you on that. Even if he were to marry he would still have spread the gospel. I though, was reading the book of Isaiah 53 and come to find out that it had been revealed to him that the suffering servent of God had no descendants implying that he were not going to have any marital affairs and so it came to pass as foretold much to the disappointment of those who insinuate that christ was maried.

>with God, and the Word was God ...14.The Word became flesh and

Amen to that.

To add on to what you have just said. A man named Churchill Winston once said that "most people stumble upon truth but pick themselves up and move as if nothing has happened".Now The bible speakes volumes and volumes of truth but the naysayers disregard it as that litereture without any authority and is vague to them. They simply move not knowing that he who neglects wisdom is a fool and soon finds themsleves between rocks and hard places.

God bless you all.

TeeJay, to be fair, the same Bible also speaks volumes of untruths. e.g. Jesus thought that demons cause diseases. We all know now that that is rubbish, even a 5 year old kid can tell you that its germs or genetic disorders, not demons. If you are blind, its not because a demon has blocked your line of vision, but thats what Jesus believed. What are your comments on these untruths, and the various contradictions that fill the Bible?

If Jesus was married He must have missed His own wedding because it wasn't recorded anywhere! Marriage is one of this things you don't don't hide..especially in those earlier days. It would also have been a very juicy scandal for all of Jesus' accusers and mashada would not have been the only place that this scandal would be revealed.

The other thing is that God cannot commit murder! Why ? To God death is temporary but very serious and final for us mortals. There is more life after the grave than before the grave. ATLian u should also consider Gods perpective... the ultimate perspective!

Finally, studying the bible is a very dangerous exercise for non-believers.

One - it is a stumbling block for those that don't believe.
Two - It will be used agains't them come judgement day.
Three - Distorting its message has dire consquences now and for eternity!

God will certainly show up ... woe to those that continually mock their creator!

Good Day/Night

ATlian satan works in many ways.Since you profess to have read the bible clearly and understood you should know that without being told. It is you who is visionless and disillusioned by these scientific discoveries that satan deploys to confuse humankind even more. You must know that the germs are under the control of somebody.

ATlian you just dont give up do you boy?iF you dont want to understand its becasue you dont want to.

The bible is a book just like any other but a book just the same. Written by very wise men of course, it was meant as a guide for society, to live by in harmony if such a thing were ever possible. Stick with the Ten Commandments and you will be alright. The rest of it, you can twist and turn to suit yourself or make a buck if you wish, for that day and change it the next day if you wish. Of course Jesus existed, just like we do, his story is not that clear and then at age 33, he goes on hiatus??
