I still can't believe that some 2000 years later that people still
believe there was a "magic person" back them. C'mon not even a lot of
theologists believe that!

Let me make myself clear: Mary Magdalene was the first person to see
Jesus after the crucifixion when He had risen up out of His tomb,
hovering in the air. The Ascension into heaven came later. Mary
Magdalene was the first person to see the risen Christ. All the four
gospels agree on this: Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:1, Luke 24:10, and John 20:1.
Christ was hovering in the air above the tomb when he appeared to Mary
Magdalene, she was the first to see Him and this was forty days BEFORE
the Ascension when He was taken up into the clouds into heaven.

Maybe it's time to get all our ducks in a row: Mary Magdalene was
the first person to see the risen Christ. >>

I don't think "a couple of spiritual teachers"

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.
