What is ASMR, April_Rose?

I put the Catholic-basher on Ignore a while back.

As far as the phrase "right hand of God" - I feel it is metaphorical; Jesus sits at the place of honor, God is Spirit - God the Father does not literally have a RIGHT HAND, a MOUTH, NOSTRILS, an ARM that he has bared to the heathen - there are many anthropomorphic descriptions of God which are...

I have heard some similar reasonings concerning UNTIL, BreadOfLife - I do remain OPEN about the perpetual virginity thing, it's just that there would certainly be nothing wrong with normal relations after Jesus was born - Mary is still Theotokos - nothing sinful at all about sex in marriage. I...

Good Mary-stuff, Mungo.

As far as the OP - Mary is Theotokos - but the scripture that "Joseph and Mary had no relations until after Jesus was born" makes me lean toward believing that they did AFTER Jesus was born. "Nobody got into the guacamole dip until DancesWithGnostics got to the party" A logical inference is...

So you think it is ok for Jesus to tell a parable that illustrates conscious people in the afterlife - if there is no consciousness in afterlife ? That because it might be a parable that it is ok to present false reality?

Mary is Theotokos. The "perpetual virginity of Mary" is held by Catholics as well as Orthodox. My son is Orthodox. I am Methodist. There is nothing that holds me to "perpetual virginity" - neither do I dismiss it. We have no record in the Bible of Jesus saying anything of perpetual virginity...

In Luke 16, Jesus gives quite an extensive account of the CONSCIOUS, AFTER-DEATH EXPERIENCES of the beggar Lazarus, the rich man, and Father Abraham - they are awake; they can speak and do things. They went to these (different) after-life experiences immediately after death. It does not matter...

Mary M, the Magi, Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh "Mary M, the Magi, Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh" - the new thread

Oh - anything about Gnostics and Gnosticism can be put in this thread too

I disagree !! lol This thread can be a free for all about Mary Magdalene, and the Magi - who biblically were not "we three kings of orient are" - and in the Bible it does NOT say there were 3 Magi - just 3 kinds of Gifts An Orthodox poster somewhere told me there was a tradition in Orthodoxy...

Grailhunter, we are discussing interesting stuff - but we are far off topic for this thread, of course. I am planning on starting a separate thread - "Mary M, the Magi, Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh"

The apostle John was the only male disciple at the cross. Jesus tells His mother to behold her son, and John to behold his mother - and that Mary stayed with John from then on. This affirms somewhat that Jesus' brothers (and sisters) were from an earlier marriage of Joseph, and were not Mary's...

Mary Magdalene, sometimes called Mary of Magdala, or simply the Magdalene or the Madeleine, was a woman who, according to the four canonical gospels, traveled with Jesus as one of his followers and was a witness to his crucifixion and its aftermath. She is mentioned by name twelve times in the...

Mary of MAGDALA - a location - Mary the Magdalene I never heard of any reference to the Magi in regard to Mary Magdalene I also think it possible that Mary of Bethany, sister to Martha and Lazarus, might be one and the same as Mary Magdalene, who had the alabaster jar and poured ointment on...

So let it be written - so let it be done. "Pristine" ballots going to Biden. Hmmmmm
