I think there was a good reason all of the apostles were male.
Anyone remember when certain things were just disrespectful? The same people who say I am a Crazy, Stupid, Racist Republican if I say "100% of the terrorists were Muslim" are the people who say "shut up and keep quiet" if I am offended by those who attack my faith...from inside.
Don’t forget now, if your mother had testicles and a penis she would be your father.
Blasphemy aside, what is an “ancient Palestine” ?
Will she imagine muhammad as a women in her next novel?
Between the two of you I am reeling and rolling with laughter!!! Lol!!
“ancient Palestine”-——and the lies just continue out of these Marxist, godless people—who would no doubt never draw a picture of Mohammed as a woman.
They are cowards and liars and trying to make money off of useful idiots.
Just another attempt to neutralize God. The same sort of drivel that keeps being pumped out about Mary Magdalene and a made-up romantic relationship between her and Jesus and all that bunk about royal blood lines in Europe as a result. Just more clutter to distract us from the message and the God/person of Jesus. These writers and creative embellishers don’t even realize they are tools of the Great Deceiver, who ever since the Garden of Eden has used our own egos against us thru the Great Lie. We must stay focused on the Truth (Jesus), the only Way (Jesus) and the Light (again, only Jesus). To do otherwise puts us on the path to Hell.
She reads the bible with a hashish pipe in one hand from a galaxy far far away. Hippy dippy thinking!! Lol!
Progressive/Marxists/socialists/liberals are nothing but liars—who have turned their world upside down (and trying to convince us to do the same). Lies are truth to them.....like Heather has two mommies-—homosexuality is “good”-—women and men are just the same and interchangeable (homosexual marriage)....biology makes no difference to human beings.
There whole world is based on Marxist fairy tales......where there is no truth, no right and wrong, etc.
Last time I checked a version of the Bible which didn't excise the divinity of Christ, a husband was instructed to love his wife the way Christ loved the church, laying down his life for her. Hmmmm, sounds so, so, terrible for a wife, to have a man lay down all that is important to him, to care for and love her.
Repressive. (sarcasm/off).
No, but I think I'd like to develop that idea!
Sure... That's why you used the name Jesus instead of Mohammed.
National Lampoon published “Jessica Christ”, a comic book style article in their magazine sometime around November of 1972 or early 1973. It was pretty offensive, but then NL always was.
Certain speculation about Jesus is interesting and titillating. Dan Brown’s speculation that Jesus married and left an heir (which isn’t a new idea, but the story he told wove the tale differently) is fascinating (to me) to consider.
However, others that portray Jesus as a black man, as a gay man or, as in this case, a woman, go beyond the pale in revisionist hack. This appears to be yet one more modern, contemptuous, revisionist attack on Christianity by people seeking an audience. We often complain that the terrorists trying to slaughter us have hijacked the Islamic “religion” (such as it is), but fail to recognize that the people presenting Jesus as anything but what He has historically been portrayed as are doing the same to Christianity.
Jesus isn’t a topic for expoitation by hacks seeking book sales. He is the Son of God and is due some revereance and respect. If we cannot honor the memory of a man that Chistians believe is our Saviour, we should respect the beliefs of His followers and quit trying to use Jesus to make a buck for a cheap book.
What is it with these women who are so intimidated/offended by men? It would be interesting to see if there is some common thread in their backgrounds. And then they can get some help. Or...the whole novel is simply for shock value and the hope that it will sell on that account.
