So, I said something to my dad about the 39 lashes the other day, and he declared that no where does the bible tell us HOW many lashes Jesus got.  So I proceed to do my research on the subject, and sure enough he is correct.  But 39 lashes WAS the most the Jewish government was aloud to mete out as punishment.  But the ROMANS had no such law... and they were the ones who had jesus beaten.

So why did I always learn in Grade School that Jesus got 39 lashes?

It's because the laws of thermodynamics prohibit any more or less that 39 lashes. Oh no wait, it's because your teachers weren't doing their job properly ;-)

Hmmm... interesting theory.  Gradeschool religious teachers as FALLIBLE.  Hadn't previously considered this option.....

Ok, here is a question that if anyone here knows the answer to, I'll be seriously impressed.

Why is it that the Catholic church has branded Mary Magdalene a prostitute even though nothing in scripture supports that?

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

OMG, YOU HAVE NO CLUE HOW MUCH I FUCKING LOVE YOU FOR SAYING (ASKING) THAT, WILL.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I AM NOT KIDDING EITHER. You're absoLUTELY right, in asking that. O_o There's no reason why they'd say she was a porstitute. I mean, nothing says that's her who was caught in adultery - Even if it was, it was ONE act of adultery, nothing says the lady who was caught had committed adultery before. I get into arguments about this, with people A L L L L L L L  the time. You don't even know.

Mary Magdalene was my Confirmation name. It pisses me off when people dis my G, know what I'm sayin'?

Mary wrote the Gospel attributed to John. It was later edited to hide it's original author. According to many ancient witnesses, Mary was a major leader in the early Christian community. After her death, her male successors in the church were embarassed that a woman lead the movement in the past. They attempted to discredit her through slander and libel.

Now for the most shocking part. Mary was most likely the "disciple that Jesus loved." It is quite possible that she was the wife of Jesus.

And no, I do not subscribe to Gnosticism.

The Da Vinci Code is the shiznat.

I've tried to explain that Mary being John or vice versa thing to people but they're like . . . blah.

And also - It is possible that she could've been the wife of Jesus, and people bring that up all the time. They also bring up, "Oh, she and Jesus were in love," or "He loved her," and "She lived Him," but does it fucking matter? I try to explain! I say, ALL THE TIME, Christ was a man, just like everyone. He felt just like any other of mankind. He felt throughout His crucifixion. What's so wrong with His having feelings for a woman?

They'll never understand. You know?

Can i ask what your sources are for that? I don't doubt that its true (well...actually i kind of do), i'd just like to know where that information comes from.

The sources are early extrabiblical documents which were decried by many of the church fathers as Gnoistic, even though they were silent on theology. Many of them are contemporary with the Pauline letters.

If you really wanna look into this, I would start with this paper.

In the end, the theory is certainly a plausable one, but it would be impossible to know for sure. Regardless, I don't believe it changes any theology so it isn't important to me besides providing an interesting subject to read on.

Hardly. It's a work of fiction, a murder mystery. The only link between what you claim and The Da Vinci Code is that, in the story, Mary is the wife of Jesus and that the early church was bigoted.

The book makes the claim (under a heading of "FACT") "All descriptions of artwork, architecture, documents, and secret rituals in this novel are accurate."  It's a best seller, thanks in no small part to this publicity stunt.

Edit: Review and critique

Edit2: I realise that my first line implies that I think Will's claim is factual. Just FTR, I don't think that.
