Why everyone wanted to hide the identity of Jesus's wife?

It was suggested by Dan Brown in his very popular novel "The da Vinci Code" that not only did Jesus have a wife, but he had at least one child as well, and he has living descendants, which if true would cast a lot of Christian theology in a different light, and could be very disturbing to some people who have a dogmatic view of theology. This is, in any event, highly speculative and certainly not proven. I cannot say for certain that Jesus had a wife, and if he didn't, there would be no reason for anyone to hide the identity of a non-existent person who has no identity.


Ancient temple hashish incense did Jesus inhale?

Even if you disregard the anointing oil as being from Ganja. Even if you don't believe "kaneh bosm" is cannabis. Even if you bury your head in the sand and claim the hemp canvas ship sails and covered wagons were coincidence. Or the hemp burlap sackcloth was grown somewhere else. Or the hookah's and chiloms that were filled with hashish, during the same time and in the same geographical location, but no one in Jesus' group indulged. Even if you hide from the logic and common sense. You can't hide from Archeology. The incense burners found showed trace amounts of hashish. If you have ever been to a Monastery where they still use incense. You know there is no escaping the smoke. Though in today's Ganja paranoid world the incense isn't made with hashish. There is no mistaking the fact that when it was, those who were in the ancient temples got stoned. Unless maybe he pulled a Clinton and just didn't inhale? For hours on end. The newest miracle!


Why is the incident at the Temple given different placement in the Gospels?

The synoptic gospels all place this incident at the end of the gospel, where it was the catalyst for the arrest of Jesus. The earliest synoptic gospel, from which the others were substantially copied, is Mark's Gospel, which emphasised that Jesus sought to remain anonymous and even commanded many of those whom he cured to tell no one. So, the Cleansing of the Temple was also important in bringing Jesus to the attention of authorities.John's Gospel, on the other hand, has the same incident at the beginning of the gospel. In this gospel, Jesus did not make any effort to hide his true nature, on the contrary making every effort to proclaim his mission. It was consistent with this theme that he would declare his interest in the Temple of his Father as soon as possible. As opposed to the synoptics, the Cleansing of the Temple was not needed in order to bring Jesus to the attention of the high priest. In John chapter 12, the people of Jerusalem began to follow Jesus because of the resurrection of Lazarus, with the anxious Pharisees fearing for their power over the Jews and saying among themselves, "Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? Behold the world is gone after him." For John, this was a much more powerful catalyst for the arrest of Jesus than the incident in the Temple.


What was the literary style of the Gospel of Mark?

A:Superficially, Mark's Gospel was written in a rough, ungrammatical style, yet it could be described as a literary work of considerable genius. The entire gospel is developed around a parallel structure, and within this is a very elegant structure for the last twenty four hours to the crucifixion and burial of Jesus. The author also developed an almost unique method of emphasis now known as Markan intercalation. He also used mimesis flags, an ancient Greek device, often used to identify a source. Some have suggested that an author of this considerable ability must have written in the rough, ungrammatical style to hide his real identity (the gospel was anonymous until attributed to Mark in the second century). Footnotes 1A parallel structure is a literary sequence in which an opening set of events is contrasted with another, parallel set of events that mirrors the first. Mark's Gospel as a whole consists of a parallel structure and then contains a smaller chiastic structure around the last day and the crucifixion.

Where in Egypt did Jesus hide from King Herod?

Before we can answer the question we must first determine where Jesus' parents took him. Matthew: They fled with him into Egypt (2: 13, 15). Luke: They remained with him in Palestine (2: 22-52). "All attempts to reconcile these two contradictory statements, seem only elaborate efforts of art." -- Dr. Schleiermacher.
