Some people believe at times , others choose believe what they want to believe what they want to believe.

Jesus’ relationships with women, while He was warm and caring, nevertheless always were conducted in ways that were completely without reproach.” What is your reaction to this statement? Do you agree or disagree? Why? How would you respond to someone whose view is different than yours?

I agree Jesus exemplified modeled behavior. I would have to agree to disagree about someone’s view that was in opposition.

It supposedly gives the true origins of Christianity and says that Jesus Christ was actually married to Mary Magdalene, they had a child and that the whole lineage of Jesus Christ grew up in France and intermingled with French royalty and that the descendents actually still exist to this day.” How does it contrast with the view you originally held concerning Mary Magdalene and the ministry of Jesus Christ?

It’s not true, it’s not accurate, It’s not factual.

They, not the women, would have been the first eyewitnesses. What do you think of Paul Maier’s conclusion concerning the witness of the women?

Women were considered second course citizens in those days. It can be said that if done in a different time the disciples may have been the first eyewitnesses. However, the fact that at a time when women would not have been mentioned, the fact that they were the first eyewitnesses adds to it’s authenticity and it’s validity.

Research it, verify its validity. Go to God in prayer asking for His guidance, direction and response.
