Is there a difference between history and fiction? |
I had a disturbing dream in Israel about Jesus having an erection. Jesus was naked with Marry Magdalene in her bed of prostitution. I wanted to visit the town of Magdalene, but the Israelis had blocked it off. An Israeli patrol had been shot at. I had chosen to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land on September 11, 2001. My Baptist tour had canceled .. This left me alone with my own private tour guide Ramone .. Ramone was a religion teacher and Christian. I brought along my anthology "The Lives of Certain Saints." Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380) had erotic fantasies about Jesus. She had a reoccuring dream of embracing Jesus sexually while he hung on the cross. She wrote, "Dearest Sisters in Jesus. I, Catherine, servant in Jesus, write to you in his precious blood, wishing only that you feed yourself with God's love and nourish yourself with it as a mother's breast. Nobody in fact can live without this milk." Early Christianity was sexual and passionate. By the middle ages the clergy had become celibate. Sexuality is human and Jesus was a man. Why wouldn't a Jew in those times get married? Isn't that part of being spiritual? Reflections~ This is in response to a Writing.com email on "Devotional Prayer." <^>< |
