Since two of the Gospel accounts start with genealogies, and the the Jewish identity is wrapped up in tribes descended from Abraham and Isaak I don't see where a condemnation of genealogies would fit in. In the same vein, if Jesus was married to Magdalene and had Children the absence of their mention would be very strange. The gospel accounts speak very well of Mary Magdalene's faith in contrast to the apostles failings but no hint is given that she had any standing beyond a well loved and faithful disciple.

To: All

From a woman's standpoint I sincerely hope this is true. I know the perfect man when I see him and, for me at least, it would be inspiring to know that JESUS CHRIST, the Perfect Creation of the Most Brilliant God of All, was also the perfect guy. You know the guy, the one even guys get those odd man-crushes on, the one who has drive, ambition, and tenacity balanced with a sense of humor, honesty, duty and a TOTAL willingness to serve/love His God AND All of His Family. What a total package He would be. What an inspiration he would be to mankind.

Who among us would deny the Light of God's life, his Son, the joy of being a husband and a father?? For the ultimate sacrifice He made for God and for Mankind would Either deny him the simple and overwhelming joy that comes from being a vital part of a loving family unit? Not if they Truly Loved Him. If they Love Him with all their hearts they would want him to have known great happiness as well as great pain. It was this combination that made him Divine.

Anyway, That's my $.03. Two pennies that in this life mean almost nothing and the other one that may mean everything. If it should be proven true, then I, for one, will get on my knees and Thank God that in his Divine Wisdom he realized that the true salvation for Planet Earth is the Perfect Father. Something tells me He knows more than a little bit about such a thing.
