Me? not going to apologize for being edgy.
Raven..you call yourself a Christian...so are you the kind that spits back out everything that you are taught or do you have an independent mind of your own?
Have you ever studied about the bible..the editing done by the Catholic church AND Martin Luther? Have you ever read the books ommitted from the bible(the apocrypha?) because they didn't "fit" the church's doctrine that they wanted to push. Have you ever read the gnostic texts. What are the gnostics? Well, the gnostics were sects of chiristians the the soon to be Catholic church wiped out. Very few of their books survived but those that did read like the books in the apocrypha. they portray Christ in a totally different light. How you ever read the Dead Sea scroll? Again...very good read.
If you think that your book is the flawless word of GOD then you are a fool. Man has been tampering, deleting and screwing with the passes and chapters for almost 2000 years. Do a little research..study learn, then come back...
Oh! and just for your information...Grooms were required to provide the wine for weddings,(christ turning the atwer to wine), Christ is called a Rabi several times. Pay attention..HE WAS JEWISH!!!! A requirement for being a Rabi is BEING MARRIED!!! check with the local Jewish community.
It was a wife's place to was her husbands feet(and only the wife). Mary Magdelene DID wash Chirst's feet. Also, the pouring of liquid over chirst's head by mary is symbolic and ritualistic in the old jewish world. It ment the woman was pregnant.
AND LASTLY. God gave 11 commandments. The first one being to Go forth be fruitful and multiply. He gave this to adam and to noah. Christ was THE example of what we must do. He was the example. He followed all the other commandments...why not this one.
