QuestionDoes Jesus have a son? Was Magdalene(Mary) his wife? Was this not written in bible for there protection. He looks down at Mary and say's "he is your son. then he said to Magdalene" she is your mother, but was this meant for Magdalene, his wife???? Magdalene was describe as the disciple he loved. I just watched a special on the Discovery Channel asking these questions. Now I wonder myself due to the facts, but my faith is not changed. I still need more proff and maybe a expert opinion.
Thank you in advance and God Bless,
Joshua Hover
AnswerDear Joshua,
the answer to all of your questions is the same: NO.

PS I think that faith cannot come only from logic, because to have faith in God means to trust and love God.
I think however that logics and science prove the existence of our soul and the existence of God and that there are many rational arguments strongly supporting the christian faith.
The explanation of these aguments is rather long and Allexperts allows only to give short answers. You can find such arguments in the following site
http://xoomer.alice.it/fedeescienza/englishnf.html
where I analyse the incongruencies of the materialistic conception of the mind, on the basis of our present scientific knowledges about brain and matter.
This analysis points out how the laws of physics prove that the brain cannot generate consciousness, which existence implies the presence in man of a unbiological/unmaterial element. The problem of consciousness is then strictly connected to the one of the existence of the soul and, consequently, the existence of God.
In the first article entitled “Mind and brain...” you can find a general discussion of the mind and brain problem from a scientific point of view.
In the second article entitled “Scientific contraddictions in materialism”
you can find an explanation of the fundamental inconsistencies of the typical arguments used by materialists, such as the concept of emergent, macroscopic or holist property, complexity, information, etc.
In the section called “FAQ: answers to visitors' questions” you can find the answer to many typical questions, such as "Are there any scientifically proved miracles?", "Does the existence of the universe imply the existence of God?", "Can science explain God?", "Can science establish which is the true religion?", "Can science explain consciousness in the future?", and many others.
I hope this may help,
please ask again if you should need some clarifications,
Your brother in Christ,
Marco
