They never did get it and that is why Jesus used their example in John 6.

More interesting is that we call Moses a nice guy, which make me wonder if we are 'parting waters' again these days. Does that not make him deserve a millstone around his neck? (Billy Graham anyone?).

It is, and this is verse 40 of Jn.5:39-40 above: " . . . yet you are unwilling to come to me to possess that life."

Throwing stones, are we............................

Can't recognize truth unless you first recognize beauty. :rolling:

What is a pearl but a seed of stone wrapped in a mother.

Edited by seven8s, Fixed tags...................again

But I recognize the truth in JP's argument and I agree that beauty is needed to recognize truth . . . but there is also nothing wrong with identifying the wrapper of this seed as if we made it with our own hands. That would truly make it ours and that is what makes the other Mary a 'local' girl in every apparition she made.

So is Magdalene still buried in dust of another or what?

You're an interesting individual, Chili.

Gees Chili, I should have known better then to spar with you..................... When will I ever learn.............Yes, she is buried in the dust, which gives her life, one and the same, head to heel. Notice they are both at the cross, and the tomb, a visual, viable but anonymous witness.

Shall We Dance?

Mankind lives in quiet desperation.

Perhaps the desperation couldn't be silenced anymore?

But then again I salsa, rumba, even tango.............do you? :rolling:

Chili

No problem, the argument exist to expose truth and Magdalene deserves to be there.

Lets just hope that daylight returns for her! I love her, truly, and would lead her in the tango even in the dark (but like the Vienna waltz best, it's just more fun).

But why would she want the day light, wherein Jesus never appreciated his handful or should I say hair-ful, when she can be bathed in the sun light. That is why he asked for their forgiveness, he was still in the daylight; they gave for his debt that he might give for the debt of another, theirs! Sad that he didn’t recognize, but he did cry uncle, and it was finished........................... she couldn’t touch (catch) him, he hadn’t yet risen to the status of the father, he was new a boy, within a 3 day womb, it is only children who can enter the kingdom. It is woman who birth children. A mother and a midwife. Fathers provide for them, he gives them mothers, and sooner (mid) or later, wives.

Can waltz too, more graceful, even delightful......................jitterbug (swing) is more fun. :wave:

Chili

For sure, delightful is the word. :wave:
