People in the Bible?
Ok... could someone please help me straighten some things up for me? Ie. who were these people, and what did they do in the bible?
1. Virgin Mary - I think she's god's mother, but if she's a mother, she must have had sex, making her no longer a vergin.
2. Mother Theresa - Who's mother is she? Is she Mary's mother? God's? Jesus'?
3. Mary Magdolin - Is this Virgin Mary's twin or evil twin or something?
4. Poncious Pirate - Why were there pirates in the bible? Isn't the bible supposed to be good?
5. Joseph - A profit? What did he profit from?
6. Moses - Was he as holy as people say he is?

1. Virgin Mary - The Virgin Mary is NOT the mother of God. She is the mother of Jesus but she was impregnated by the Holy Spirit, not sexually.
2. Mother Theresa - Head nuns are often addressed as "Mother."
3. Mary Magdolin - Mary Magdalene was a friend of Mary's and was present at Christ's crucifixion.
4. Poncious Pirate - Pontius Pilate was a Roman governor in charge of the area where Jesus lived.
5. Joseph - Joseph is Jesus' step-dad and carpenter.
6. Moses - He was a very humble man who overcame his stuttering problem.

ok i don't know if you are serious or joking with this so i will answer mostly seriously
vigin mary was the mother of jesus no she never had sex it was an immaculate conception the holy spirit planted the embryo in her. hmm kind of like the first invitro fertilization.
mother teresa was not in the bible she is a nun
mary magdolin-she was a follower of Jesus as that's all i have to say about that
poncious pilate not pirate-no pirates in the bible poncious pilate was a ruler in that time and he was the ruler that asked the crowd if they wanted jesus freed or barabus freed. the crowd chose barabus and said to crucify jesus and said he washed his hands of this.
Joseph-a profit as in he prophesied or told people things that would come to pass if they did not obey God.
Moses- yes was holy he was the only old testament profit to speak directly to God.

1. The virgin Mary gave birth to Jesus, she was impregnated by the Holy Spirit, now by having sex, so she was therefore a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus.
2.Mother Theresa was a nun who did a lot of charity and good deeds in her lifetime, she died several years back.
3. Mary Magdolin- was a woman in the time of Jesus whom Jesus freed from demons (18 I believe) and was one of the people Jesus appeared to after the resurection.
I don't know much about the others, so I will not say anything for the risk of getting it wrong.

1. She was the mother of Jesus who made him turn water into wine and then attempted to stop him from raising a little girl from the dead. Jesus disowned her at that point.
2. She was a nun who ran a boarding house for illegal children in Calcutta her entire life.
3. This woman washed the feet of Jesus with expensive oil and her hair, causing Judas to get angry enough to seek revenge by betraying him to the Centurions.
4. Its Pilot not pirate, he was the legal ruler of the Jews, who nobody but the Centurions and Citizens of Rome answered to.
5. Joseph was the man who married Mary the mother of Jesus. He was a carpenter.
6. Moses was not holy just because he talked with God but he did have to wear a veil to hide his face from the other Jews because he did talk with God.

!. The virgin Mary is Jesus' mother and he was born by immaculate conception through the holy spirit by God.
@.Mother Theresa was a nun who helped to feed, teach, house, and otherwise provide for many souls.
Mary Magdalene- was Jesus' follower a former prostitute who turned to God and changed her wicked ways.
Pontius Pilate was a sort of Governor, a judge in punishments for crime, he sentenced Jesus to the cross.
Joseph, was Jesus father and Mary's husband he married her while she was pregnant with Jesus.
Moses was real and if you want to find out if he is real read the first few books of the old testament.

The only good crack was the Pontius Pirate crack and it needed much work. I know you don't bring A material to Yahoo! Answers but still you could crank it up a notch.

Here instead of making fun of someone try reading this....God Bless.
“Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.”
