Fables, Farces and Facts
by Farkel inno, this piece is not about alliteration.
for true believers?
the subject matter is quite serious, and may just possibly affect the quality of the rest of you lives; it may also affect your eternal fate, if there is such a thing.

I think they just left out the punch-line when they translated it.

Thanks for your response Shelby, as usual a very thorough one.
One question about this 2nd point you wanted to make
2. This account, while containing some truth, also contains at least one falsehood: Mary was not an "ever-virgin", simply by reason of the FACT that she had other children.
Ok since it should be obvious that Mary was not "always" a virgin but did have children with her husband Joseph "after" the birth of Jesus, are you saying that there is confusion about Marys virginity during the conception of Jesus because she was not "always" a virgin?
In short, do you believe Mary was a virgin when Jesus was conceived?

Thanks for that yer, but it still does not address the point with regard to weather or not Mary was impregnated by God or by her husband. So the point I made is relivant more so with regard to the story of Jesus then the dictonaries definition of the word chaste. Unless you believe that Mary is the mother of Christ and was impregnated by God while having intercorse with her husband.
Maybe that is where the "trinity" come in, they were a threesome.

Thank you pete for you input, it is very interesting. Thanks for the links as well.
Married intercourse is chaste and lawful. It does not mean that they were celebate.
Loris
Loris, wasn't the reference to Mary being chaste different then being chaste as a general rule because Mary was supposed to be giving birth to the Christ child and there could be absolutely no confusion in that regard. If she had intercourse with her husband then there would be obvious conflict. Not only that but she would not be a "virgin" If God was going to impregnate a woman with his seed it is unlikely it would be in a woman who had the remains of the presence of another man lingering. If you get my meaning.

peacefulpete, I'm afraid my question was not quite that intellectual, but in a way it is relevant to my question, I think. Are you saying the story of Mary and Joseph, as well as many others, were exaggerated?
and the subsequent rewrite of the Jesus and Christian stories in the NT)that Jews and their worship began to be viewed as apostate and rebellious.
Weren’t they always considered in the very least rebellious and often apostate even among themselves?
