why is that among the 12 deciples of Jesus Christ, there is no woman?

cdf-rom: You are a lunatic. No one is trying to sway people away from the faith. Seriously. If you honestly believe that is a real motive for anyone, anywhere in this whole Magdalene/DVC controversy, then you suffer from paranoid delusions and need to get your head checked. \n\nIt just seems weird to a lot of people, myself included, that so many Christians (not all, but a lot) went totally apesh*t over the mere suggestion of Jesus acting like a normal guy of his times.\n\nI really like Mary Magdalene, always have. Never cared much for the Madonna, though. What did she do, really? She had a kid, supposedly while a virgin (not actually true, see Hebrew version of Isaiah 7:14, definitely says young woman, not virgin). So, basically she had a kid. Which is what the "Church Fathers" believed was all women were really good for, anyway. So their number one female figure is a girl whose biggest accomplishment is getting knocked up.\n\nNow take a look at this passage from the Pistis Sophia, referring to Mary Magdalene:\nJesus, the compassionate, answered and said to Mariam:\n"Mariam, thou blessed one, whom I will complete in all the mysteries of the height, speak openly, thou art she whose heart is more directed to the Kingdom of Heaven than all thy brothers."\n\nYeah, she was bright, she got was Jesus was saying, apparently more than his other (male) disciples. And that's nothing compared to the Gospel of Mary (go look it up). So I figure, why not have the female co-star of Christianity be Jesus's wife instead of his mother? She was actually an intelligent woman, rather than just a pregnant one. Aren't we a little past the 'barefoot in the kitchen' era?

According to the historian Josephus, women were subject to crucifixtion just the same as men.  However, it was probably much more common for men to be crucified rather than women.

There are certainly numerical correalations apparent in scripture. There are also 12 main commandments - Mosaical 10, plus the 2 that Christ gave. There are 12 numbers including the number 12 that have specific prophetic symbology. I have more on this study but no time to type it here..if you are really interested email me and I'll send what I have. Love in Christ, ~J~  <><

None.  They didn't exist when religious texts were written.

No, jesus was just one of many supposed "sons of god" that came out of the middle east area during this the same period.  Mithras in Persia, Ra in Egypt, and Bacchus in Greece also were worshiped at the same time with similar stories (virgin birth, wise men led by star, miracles)  The Bible simply out-competed the other books.  Its funny how many religions have stories where women are impregnated by God at times when their husbands were out of town.

There's no such thing as a woman priest.\n\nYou're thinking of a priestess.

For centuries the Church has relied on the ideas of male domination over women and that sex is not for men of the Church. This movie threatens their continued patriarchy and the sexual oppression imposed upon those who dedicate their lives to serving God, because it suggests that Jesus didn’t have a problem with sex or with elevating a woman to equal status as himself. The movie supports the notion that the Church's way isn't necessarily Jesus' way, and that is a huge threat to the power and credibility of the Church.

I really don't know why women can't be priests. Well, I guess its tradition. Oh, yes. Hmm.. women can't be leaders. I think I've read it somewhere in the Bible. I'm from a country that's led by a woman President. And honestly, religious people are well, condemning the fact that a woman is leading the country, or something to that effect. When the Bible mentioned, there were 7000 people gathering around Christ, the Bible meant 7000 men, not women. So, go figure.

First question...I am a very feminist "Christian" and I believe that God is both, since there is both male and female...if all of us are created in God's image, then women are also...hence the both sexes present.\nSecond question...to most people that have studied the Bible, original sin IS NOT Eve's fault. It is the fault of Adam. He lied to Eve about what God had said about the Tree of Knowledge and when it came time to "confess" Adam blamed Eve for everything and also (and I'm paraphrasing here) called God an idiot for making her. Also according to Jewish Law and Myth, a man is always held accountable for a womans actions.\nThird question...there is a Bible called the Jeromes Bible, it was translated by St. Jerome and he took the original Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew text word for word in the translation...the reason I bring that translation up is because women are not as "negatively" portraited as in some other translations. Sure you still have Jezebel, Deliha, and all those other honeys...but when women are discussed, it is not as "irrational" as some other translations.\nWhat you have to remember is that we don't honestly know what is in the original text...the Bible has become corrupted by man and HIS own dogma and ideology. The most important thing about faith is to know what you believe in and to use the bible as a guide...not as faith itself. \nGod does not hate women, nor is He indifferent to them. He made as all, both sexes, equal...Eve was taken from Adams rib, not from his feet to be above him, or from his feet to be below him; but from his rib, to be equal to him. That is something we all must remember.

It's about the male and the female line, although the male line as given by Matthew is supposed to be irrelevant, if you really believe in the virgin birth, isn't it?\nI always thought that was slightly weird.

Oy, tough one. \nAnswer 1: Without female, there is no reference point from which to determine man from woman, so no.\nAnswer 2: Yes, but without female there can be no reproduction, so yes, but the human race would end pretty quickly.\nAnswer 3: If you use the bible as a point of reference, then yes because G-d supposedly made Adam first and then made Eve out of one of his ribs.\n\nMost of these answers depend on what you mean by the question, so try to clarify a bit more next time.

Hmmm, I've said the same thing about the sisters.  I've mostly ran into controlling domineering women who don't submit themselves before God.  Neither do they desire to submit themselves to a man.  \nWe are living in the last days and the bible says that people in these times will not endure sound doctrine.\nIt will be harder and harder to find true servants of Christ as we get closer to His return.

Not fussed to be honest. I think many religious leaders such as Bishops and cardinals would have a mojor problem though as the whole power leanings of the Church are towards men rather than women.

are lost without women.

because people has been brainwashed for years by the bible (AKA The Church) that women are worth nothing.\n\nmary = jesus kind of forgot her and called her "woman" (instead of mother) in a very depreciative way.\n\nmary magdalene = a prostitute people hated\n\neve = so desobedient we don't live in paradise thanks to her.\n\nAnd this is only because the Bible was written by man who hate woman because they were aware of our superiority in all the aspects.\nOut brain works better (scientifically proven),\nOur spirit is stronger,\nWE  CREATE  LIFE  !\n\nSo, don't pay attention to what the bible says.\n\nChicks Rule !\n(I don't believe in Adam and Eve, but  worshipping a Goddess instead of a god, makes a lot of sense to me)
