Ask todd Anything Part 2

I got a troll! This is highly amusing as I'm almost never around and when I am, I certainly don't post much.

Oh, please forgive me oh great Spelling Goddess.

Why thank you smartass, I wouldn't have figured that out. No, I meant is there a reason, per se, you want to save yourself for marraige, not met someone you've felt was worthy, no offers, or that monster cock I've read about scared them off?


Sorry I wasn't trying to be rude, I though it funny and truthful.

The reason I waited? I grew up watching my mother be used and abused by men, nly to watch the same ones go over to my aunts house sometimes in the same night. I vowed to myself at 7 that I would break the chains of abuse, that I would find one special woman to share her and my life together with. Yeah, I know I am 2 decades out of date, but oh well.

Congratulations, more power to you Todd. I hope you find her.

Now, back to questioning you. How come the religious authorities play down Jesus having a brother, more than likely two?
 
The First Pope

Because they had to separate their sect from Judaism in order to better appeal to gentiles and to avoid being lumped in with the Jews by the Romans who got fed up and crushed Jerusalem around 67 AD. The first pope was Jesus' s brother Simon and he sure has been erased, historically. Paul played a huge role in all of this. Tricky tactician, like Mohammed. They both wrote too many things down, leaving people stuck in an archaic world of literal thinking. Oh, sorry - this was for Todd.

Thank you.

I dunno why a lot of churches seem to forget that after Mary had Jesus that her and joseph went on to pop Jesus out a brother possibly two.

I think again that this may in a small part the blame of the Roman Catholic Church {No I am not trying to knock them, they just seem to always popup} pushing the whole virgin female line of Mary, some of their teachings says that Mary's Mom, Mary, and Jesus were all born to virgin parents, some just Mary and Jesus.

And If you play that sort of musical note then admitting that Jesus had brothers really hurts that song.

Make sense, probably not, I rarely do.

I know most of the Baptist, Weslyn, Presbeterian{sp}, Luthern, Anglican, United churches I have gone to admit to Jesus having Brother james at the minimal.
 
Ok, I'll go along with that. Next question...what do you know of the Jerusalem Church?
