    Bible contradictions

    And Matthew's and John's accounts seem to contradict each other with regard to what Mary M. knew or didn't know.

    Bible contradictions

    I just don't see how you can say that Matthew saying that Mary M. knew that the Messiah was alive while John is saying that she didn't know, isn't a contradiction. How do you explain it?

    Bible contradictions

    That would be an issue for a different topic. Perhaps you might start one.

    Bible contradictions

    So you think that Matthew's memory of Mary knowing that the Messiah was alive, and John's memory of her not knowing that He was alive, is not contradictory. How do you define contradictory? BTW, any particular reason for leaving Luke out of it?

    Bible contradictions

    The Matthew account has Mary going to the tomb, having an angel telling her that the Messiah has risen and that He will be seen in Galilee, having her leaving with "great joy" to tell the disciples, having her met by the Messiah on the way, having her worshiping Him, having Him telling her to...

    Biblical Mary!

    Again, the topic is "Biblical Mary". Your reply seems to imply that maybe the Spirit didn't think her important enough to include her there at that level but would mention her through other means. Fair enough, that's all I was asking. And I'm not demanding anything. Perhaps someone else may...

    Mother Mary

    Well, as far as scripture is concerned, there are only 3 times mentioned where the Messiah spoke to her. And He seemed to be a bit perturbed with her 2 of those times. The 3rd time He merely told her to look at her son. Also, He only spoke 2 times with regard to what someone said about her...

    Biblical Mary!

    The topic is "Biblical Mary!" so any treatises on Christianity outside of Scripture would be dealing with issues for a different one.

    Biblical Mary!

    Also, other than Galatians 4:4 saying that the Messiah was born of a woman, any thoughts on why Mary is not mentioned by any of the writers in the New Testament epistles including the one to Rome and the 2 by Peter? Why do you suppose that they were not inspired by the Holy Spirit to include...

    Bible contradictions

    Matthew 28:1-10 says that when Mary Magdalene went to the tomb that she was told by an angel that the Messiah had risen and would be seen in Galilee. Matthew then says that she ran "with great joy" to tell the disciples and while on the way that she met the Messiah (this occurred before she got...

    Is Easter

    As an aside, if it were a heaven directed or approved festival, you'd think scripture would have the apostles and disciples observing it - it doesn't.

    Three Days and Three Nights

    And remember, that "someone new" needs to be someone who believes the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week with a 1st day of the week resurrection, and who thinks that the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb, and who tries to explain the lack of a 3rd night by saying that...

    Three Days and Three Nights

    And that is to whom this topic is directed - those who think the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week. And who think that the "heart of the earth" refers to the tomb and tries to explain the lack of a third night by saying that the Messiah was employing common figure of...

    That is correct, people do not have the ability to consciously choose to believe things.
