She saw him risen from the grave, but not risen into the sky. The Ascension didn't take place for another 40 days, and only the remaining disciples witnessed it.

Wait- on! Mike wasn't insinuating anything about Jesus being indifferent towards any sin. Jesus came not to judge but to serve( Isaiah 53) as the *suffering servant*, showing mankind how to live life. "Judge not , lest ye be judged" , "Do unto others..." etc. Jesus said He has the power to forgive sin, doesn't mean He's in favor of it. >> From: "awoelflebater@..." <awoelflebater@...> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, December 29, 2013 2:38 PM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Get Your Ducks in a Row ---In FairfieldLife@{{emailDomain}}, <punditster@...> wrote: On 12/29/2013 2:40 PM, awoelflebater@... mailto:awoelflebater@... wrote: I don't think "a couple of spiritual teachers" talking about "indifference" relates to anything Mike was posting about. Maybe not, but I think Mike's point was that Jesus was indifferent to social mores concerning adultery. From what I've read, hardly anybody back then was indifferent to having multiple wives - they were all in favor of it. So, if Jesus was forgiving about adultery, I wonder if he was also in favor of polygamy? And, I don't think any spiritual teachers back then were in favor of polyandry, except maybe over in India. But, I guess it all depends on what you mean by "spiritual teachers". According to Robin, Saul had a spiritual experience on the road to Damascus when he thought he had seen the risen Christ for the first time; but everyone knows that Mary Magdalene was the first to see the Jesus rise up into the sky. Obviously the New Testament was written by men. Go figure. I don't care what you think and I wasn't talkin' to you. Keep your pie hole shut and give the little lady a chance to speak for herself. She's not quite a corpse yet. Go figure.
