I'd disagree here. Jesus was a Rabbi. And Rabbi are usually required to be married.
But the early church was extremely anti-woman.
Mary Magdalene is always portrayed as a whore who just sort of hung around.
But she seems to be more important than that. Especially in the dead sea scrolls.
Paul, or Saul, on the other hand, seems to have been the source of the anti-woman aspects of the early church.
As someone raised in the Baptist faith, but got the hell out, Baptists fucking LOVE Saul/Paul and he's basically 60%+ of their entire schtick. Largely because he was such a staunch stickler of a person. I mean God supposedly made him blind so he'd stop being an asshole.
You are conflating the dead sea scrolls with the Nag Hammadi library. The Dead Sea Scrolls do not contain any Christian texts, only Jewish texts from around the time of Jesus. The Nag Hammadi library contains a number of texts typically described as "gnostic" and some of these include teachings attributed to Mary Magdalene.
I do get the two confused, yes. Thank you.
i thought jesus was trans though, as parthenogenesis necessitates a female offspring
si would be eve, as she's a clone of Adam.
okay see this is my first problem. that means he would taste great. I've tasted their jesus. jesus is dry and crumbly. i've also tasted ribs. are ribs dry and crumbly?
I really don't get the Jesus-as-nasty-dry-cracker shit. If they'd made him into a Little Debbie's zebra cake, I'd still be a churchgoer today.
