  • Hey Mary, There is a tradition that both pontius and his wife both seen in the movie (and st. pontius for some) were martyred for Christ. I heard a story about how Mary Magdalene (not the women in sin ;))converted pontius. She tried to convert hi…
  • Hello Kryptic, This passage you have pasted makes no sense unless your a moslem, perhaps you can give some 1st Century supporting Jesus's flight from death? This is something pasted from a page on islam with no scholarly evidence? You could put u…
  • Hey guys, In the catholic tradition, which may confuse some people, she is depicted (as in the passion movie) being the women in sin. There is no evidence in the Bible to support this and it is part of their tradition. We do not see Mary Magdalen…

  • Hi Larry, Unfortunatly, the point of contention is considered in their mind to be a primary dogmatic pilliar like Christ's divinity so to some of them who don't believe in the recent reconcilliation efforts we would appear to be the equivelant of J…
  • Hello all, :) Mary was born as a normal human like us. We reject the immaculate conception for a couple of reasons. The first is the very famous verse in Luke when she says she rejoices in God her Saviour. If she was sinless she would have no ne…

  • Hey guys, In the begining man was in paradise and fell. In paradise God made a promise to man that if he obeyed the commandment he would be transferred to heaven. Technically when we die in the faith we are returned to paradise. Remember passion …
