I was a Jesus freak (or Jesus people) around 72-73. Went to airports and bowling alleys with my Bible trying to "save" people. It was ground seriously into our brains that only spiritual music is appropriate. Looks like things have loosened up a bit fro what you're saying.
...little did they know that I'd sneak off and listen to Aqualung and Cat Stevens when they weren't around...heh heh

Keep in mind that we are born into a society that has been established from past beliefs... each person is then taught to believe whatever the people in control want us to believe - regardless of the truth. The bible is an example of that because only the writings which support the current belief system survived. The bible was written and rewritten by man. God did not write the bible. Yet they would have you believe such a thing.

Originally posted by ArrakisFollowing in that vein, there is the thought that Mary Magdelin was supposed to be the face of the church, but the church would not hear of a woman leading it and instead Peter was the face they presented. A little of this is touched upon in the DaVinici code where the claim is made that Mary Magdelin is the thirteenth set of hands at the last supper. There is also the thought that Jesus and Mary Magdelin were actually husband and wife. Plenty of stuff for consideration out there.

This thread is still somewhat on topic of control vs. 'the man'.

So I welcome intelligent posts (such as by shortcircuit) and maybe we can all benefit from these ideas.

Originally posted by shortcircuitI agree with you. In fact, if a person takes the time to research this material they will find that Peter was a woman hater! Yes, and so after Jesus died it was Peter who was mostly responsible for erasing all history of Jesus with Mary Magdelin.
