Religion / Re: The Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good And Evil, Was It Sexx??? by frankster: 12:01pm On Oct 01, 2012
seriallink: Was the tree of the knowledge of Good & Evil symbolically referring to sexx

Yes....its was refering to our creative ability - mentally and physically
You could look at it as a mathematical symbol....Binary - ones and zeros
Or as duality(opposites/complimentaries) Good is Plus(+) and Evil is Minus(-).
Or Energitically as Positive and Negative


I've always wondered why Jesus (The last Adam according to 1 Corinthians 15:45) had nothing to do with women & also why God created Eve for the first Adam when He knew she would end up luring him into sin

They were female disciples(followers) of Jesus
What you call sin is a natural part of Man's maturity

(CBS/AP) ROME - Is a scrap of papyrus suggesting that Jesus had a wife authentic?


Scholars on Wednesday questioned the much-publicized discovery by a Harvard scholar that a 4th century fragment of papyrus provided the first evidence that some early Christians believed Jesus was married.


And experts in the illicit antiquities trade also wondered about the motive of the fragment's anonymous owner, noting that the document's value has likely increased amid the publicity of the still-unproven find.


Karen King, a professor of early Christianity at Harvard Divinity School, announced the finding Tuesday at an international congress on Coptic studies in Rome. The text, written in Coptic and probably translated from a 2nd century Greek text, contains a dialogue in which Jesus refers to "my wife," whom he identifies as Mary.


As correspondent Allen Pizzey reported on Wednesday for "CBS This Morning," the tattered piece of papyrus resembling perhaps a discarded business card dates back to the 4th century. Written in an ancient dialect, it contains just eight broken lines in faded black ink.


King's paper, and the front-page attention it received in some U.S. newspapers that got advance word about it, was a hot topic of conversation Wednesday during coffee breaks at the conference.


Newly surfaced ancient document has Jesus referring to "my wife


Christian tradition has long held that Jesus was unmarried. Any evidence pointing to whether Jesus was married or had a female disciple could have ripple effects in current debates over the role of women in the church.


"The whole idea of the priesthood being male and being celibate is based on the historical assumption that Jesus was male and was celibate and single," Serene Jones, president of New York City's Union Theological Seminary, told CBS News.


Stephen Emmel, a professor of Coptology at the University of Muenster who was on the international advisory panel that reviewed the 2006 discovery of the Gospel of Judas, said the text accurately quotes Jesus as saying "my wife." But he questioned whether the document was authentic.


"There's something about this fragment in its appearance and also in the grammar of the Coptic that strikes me as being not completely convincing somehow," he said in an interview on the sidelines of the conference
