    It’s interesting you assert Jesus ministered for free, rejected what I said as lacking verification. We all pick and choose based on our personal peculiarities, mine having been finding more books that were excluded and relating that information towards parables describing the hero’s journey in yet another way. I’m not finished learning yet hence I leave aside what I’ve not yet delved into. I’m curious as to why you would accept he ministered for free and reject women supported him?

      It’s not that deep. It’s generally accepted that Jesus ministered for free. You went into specifics, which are less so accepted.

      Personally, I don’t even believe that the man actually existed. He’s likely just an amalgamation of a few people.

        Guess what? I’m not so sure he existed either. He existed in the gospels though. The same place the women who supported him did.

        Eta I can find fault with Osiris and Isis being siblings and spouses too but I don’t. It’s really not the point of the hero’s journey and that was the cultural context at the time the myth was born. We evolve.
