[edit] A Question needing an answer
The text here states: "In the fragmentary text, the disciples ask questions of the risen Savior (a designation that dates the original no earlier than the 2nd century)" - I was wondering if someone could elaborate on this for me, does this mean Ressurection accounts do not appear before the 2nd century?
[edit] The answer
No. Few would deny that the canonical gospels circulated in the first century, or that they contain resurrection accounts.
However, the argument depends not on the absence of resurrection accounts in the first century, but on the designation of Jesus as Savior being absent. The parenthetical comment intends Savior (Greek uncial nomen sacrum ΣΡ) as antecedent, not risen. But this too I fear is an error. Alastair Haines 14:43, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Please elaborate
Could you please elaborate what you mean by "But this too I fear is an error."--Must have books 11:28, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Reluctant Messenger
There is a link to this site at the bottom of the page. However, on the Reluctant Messenger website, it says to regard everything on the site as fiction. Is this an appropriate source?
[edit] Reliable sources
No, this is not a reliable source. Any editor (or reader) may delete it at any time. Personally, I do not delete such sources, because they are still relevant information, additionally, I hate censorship. My foibles are not Wiki policy however. Alastair Haines 14:50, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removed this section
Couldn't find the book it refers to and it didn't quite make sense - if you can find the book, put it back in! An alternative, more modern version of The Gospel of Mary, meant to depict a brief though comprehensive text, illustrating certain essential aspects of her faith.

“Your environment and memory shape your thoughts as your guardians are to do at least of the following: teach / condition, protect and heal you. The greatest guardian of your life is G-D, the very foundation of your ancestry. Know that a person wherever they are, are still effected by the actions of their ancestry. Whereas G-D defines good nature and is the root of all ancestry, within the development therein... your ancestries sin must be conditioned away, as required.
That our ideals adhered be manifestations of our love towards our self, each other, and an affirmation of our loyalty towards G-D. In so being, that which is good towards G-D is good for ourselves and others harmoniously: Our eternal nature. That ideals: Health, Truth, Love, Beauty, Procreation, are and must be geared towards greatness, and as such are themselves manifestations of G-D's love understood and affirmed.”
