What if I don't believe that Jesus rose from the dead?

Do you believe in Mars?
Quote:
I have not seen proof of that.

Have you been there touched it?
Quote:
I have heard "stories" from 2000 years ago.

You have heard truth, like the stories that Mars exists.

Medical science was not back then as it is today. What if he had a twin that took his place?

Man it is taking a lot of what ifs to make your theory even slightly plausible!
Quote:
Why don't we hear about anything after Jesus arose? Where did he go? Where did he live? Did he have a wife and children? Was he married to Mary Magdeline?

Because He ascended, He was here on this earth only a short time after... and set down the Davinci Code and back away...

Did Jesus want to turn the church over to her? Women were very much a part of Christ's teachings, why are they not mentioned in the bible or as one of his apostles?
The church was not turned over to anyone!! The church is the body of believers in Christ, no some organization. I was Catholic too, so I know where you get that non-biblical nonsense! :p
Women are mentioned and have very strong roles both in the OT and the NT, I am sorry, since you have not read it you would not be aware of that.

Why can't women not be preists?

Priests are no longer needed in the NT, Christians do not have any priest but Jesus, who is the High Priest. After His ultimate sacrifice, priests (who did the sacrifices) were no longer needed.
Quote:
Why are priests not allowed to marry? They were at the beginning of Christianity. Why did that change?
I will allow a Catholic to answer that, as that is not for a Christian to answer.
Priests do not nor have they ever existed in Christianity. They are no longer needed. The RCC has priests true, and they do not marry, because the RCC is not a Christian church.
1 Timothy 4
1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.


Very good questions Gyh, I am sure others will have more to add!:thumbsup
