Are you suggesting that Mary didn't love Jesus because the Bible doesn't describe a scene where she visited Him in His tomb?

If so, that is pathetic. I try really hard to be nice in these threads, but to accuse Mary of not loving Jesus is so awful, I don't know what else to say. There are many things not in the Bible that we assume are true. Often, there is no description of how Jesus and his disciples travelled, but we assume it was on foot. The Trinity isn't mentioned in the Bible, but we believe in the Holy Trinity being the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We know that Mary said YES to God and bore His Son, Jesus. She loved God so much that she said YES to Him. She knew that she carried the Messiah, and she knew that the Messiah was God. And since she loved God, she obviously loved Jesus.

God bless. Time for my to go to Mass.

Don't run away. Post the Bible verses that say Mary bothered to visit Jesus tomb as He lay dead.

The Bible goes out of it's way to say that Mary Magdalen went.

The Bible takes time to mention that Joanna went.

It specifically mentions that Salome went.

Where is the Mary that you Catholics believe in? Did she drop Jesus like a hot potato the minute she saw that He had died?

Hey, if they travelled by foot, cite a verse from the Bible that establishes it.

Either that, or just find an old stone tablet that says they travelled, then inscribe on it in a different hand, and in misspelled Aramaic the words 'on foot.' That ought to prove it. </satire>

(Also, in general, if there's a book of the Bible that you don't like, just delete it.)

I agree - a lot of fundimentalists seem to think if it wasn't recorded in the bible it did not happen. A whole lot happened that did not make it into the bible - especially stuff like your accuser mentions as this would be obvious to readers at the time - that would fill the whole world if written (paraphrase from somewhere in Mark or Mathew I think). Make me sick how desparate some christians are to prove Mary was not a virgin. Just to make their little pastor right and 2000 years of the Church, wrong.
