I understand that the gospel of Mark never makes a biological connection between the two. It is in the gospel of Luke only i think,
LK 1:35 The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. 36 Even Elizabeth your RELATIVE is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. 37 For nothing is impossible with God."
Surely this makes it all the more suspicous?

well, it is a bit suspicous when john the baptist, at least in the gospel of mark, appears not to Know him. like didnt they have any idea at the age of 25 what they were up to or something? john the baptist either knew before hand Jesus was the messiah or not

No, it was not a coincidence and further more your writing to: and asking questions of Christians is not a coincidence either.
We love you and your daughter and are praying for both of you.
God Bless!

CJunk, BE A MAN and use your own finger instead of your child why test God when you yourself know the bible and everything there is true. If you say I'm a bad Christian because of my answer I say I'm telling the truth. Why the suspicous, you know when you were a christian you didn't go with your heart now your heart is disturb with things and even worse that you put your kid to cover you. What's up with that DUDE!!!!!!The Devil is a LIAR and will discourage anyone weak.

I've asked that question myself, I think it was part of an elaborate scam, not so well hidden in the gospels, I also wonder why the people who god made the priest just happened to be from moses family, you know, the ones who get to freeload off of everybody else.

No it's not a coincidence, It was part of GOD's Master Plan in bringing His Son to save the world.

Yep, they're cousins. I saw them at our family picnic last weekend.

So, they were cousins, big deal...
What is wrong with having cousins?
How is having a cousin something worthy of suspicion?
