Nothing in the Bible says Mary Magdeline was a prostitute.  There is a prostitute who was to be stoned, but nothing says it was Mary Magdeline.  She shows up soon after that passage, so many people have assumed she was the same woman.   \n\nThe Gospel of Judah hasn't proven anything.  It hasn't been authenticated, and even if it is, it was written by a human, with his or her own agenda, so there's no guarantee it's accurate.

The wedding at Caana is the closest you'll find to evidence that Jesus was married.  It was Jewish tradition that the groom provide the wine for the wedding.  It makes no sense for Mary to be so concerned about the wine unless it was her son's wedding.  Notice that the story never says whose wedding it was?

It is the absolute Truth. Everything discussed in the book is Undeniable Fact. The Church has stolen the Truth from the people for too long! Jesus is the male part of a duality that involves Mary Magdelene.

The earliest copies of the Gospels that have been authenticated are in Greek. They do not say Mary was a "virgin" rather that she was a "young woman".\n\nThe change was made in the middle ages to wow the audience.\n\nWhen arguing about English translations of Latin texts which were altered when re-translated from the Greek and may have been in Aramaic originally is really a waste of time. Such are most religious disputes that people of premeditated faith kill over.

Mary and Joseph did screw around,\nJames came from them and did abound.\nHe is Jesus brother, or half-brother if you will,\nThey had sex, yes, that's the deal.

The reason why women did it in the first place goes back to the social mores of the time.  In Paul's time, one very obvious way to identify a prostitute was by her shaved head.  If such prostitute were to attend worship sessions with the more devout, it was out of respect that she would cover her head, so not to offend the others in worship service.  Today, there's no need for that, because prostitutes aren't identified by shaving their heads.

There are no hidden 'facts'.  A few years ago we had the movie Stigmata revealing a hidden Gospel.  It turns out to be the Gospel of Thomas, readily available at any Barnes and Noble.  The Church certainly did a good job of suppressing that one.  Dan Brown 'unearths' the Gospel of Mary Magdalene, a Gnostic Gospel similarly in print for many centuries.  I have a copy myself.  It is in a Collection titled "Hidden Gospels".  It has not been suppressed.  It is simply not believed by mainstream Christians.  Most recently we have the Gospel of Judas.  This is another Gnostic Gospel condemned by early Church leaders at least as early as 180 A.D.  These are all historical documents that have been known to scholars for many years.  They have been on the dustheap for all those years simply because they haven't been seen as credible by any reasonable historian or theologian.

In the Book of Daniel Suzanna is a woman of clean morals.  She was very beautiful and two old men watched her while she was bathing, (peeping Toms are not new).   They wanted to have sex with her and she refused.   So they made a loud accusation against her telling that they caught her having sex with a young man.  At that time, women who were unmarried were stoned to death.   Daniel was brought to judge her.  He separated the two lying men and asked them separately where he was standing when he observed Suzanna's behavior; one answered one place and the other, not  knowing what his friend said, answered another place.  Daniel caught them in their lies and freed \nSuzanna.   This part of the Book of Daniel is not contained in the King James version of the Bible but only in the Catholic bible.  And it is too bad, because American law on how to decide who is guilty has a strong basis in the Book of Daniel

briefly it says that \n-Jesus is a prophet\n-Christian practise are adopted by paganism\n-Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene\n-The Church corrupted her image as well as the image of all women in power, even midwives\n-The Church is corrupted and has been hiding the truth for political gain\n-Jesus had a child, a girl named Sarah that decsendents still live today\n\nAll the above was kept by the Priory of Sion lead once by Leo Davinci and he kept these secrets in codes on his paintings.\n\nMuslims belief all except that he was married and had a child. Christians think it a load of crap.

Nobody knows if Jesus was celibate or not. For the Church to claim that people are now cynical about its claim regarding Jesus being celibate because of their interest in the Da vinci code is a good thing. People need to continually question their beliefs in order to reaffirm them or dismiss them as nonsense. The church is equally cynical about the claim that Jesus and MM were an item. Nobody knows the truth. There is not enough supporting evidence either way.

She is a "virgin" because the historians lied to you. It is a sad day when people believe Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons" before they believe in the traditional biblic interpretations, but the former is more logical. Hope this helps!

i would say she was a virgin up to the moment where GOD sent her an angel that took a human form to give her the baby Jesus Christ... in all cases i am not sure if there's evidence that an intercourse took place between her and the angel.. because GOD simply tells a thing to be and it is

Mary & Joseph were "betrothed".  In the Jewish culture of that time a man & woman were promised to each other and then he set to make a home for them.  Once the man had a home & funds for his bride he would go and get her and there would be a wedding feast and they would be married and could consumate their marriage.  \n\nJoseph, after being visited by an angel, took Mary as his wife but did NOT consumate the marriage until after Mary's time of uncleaness after childbirth was complete.\n\nSo Mary was a virgin when she gave birth to the Messiah.  She also had at least 4 other children.  (Would anyone REALLY consider perpetual virginity a blessing?  Especially if you were Joseph?  "Yea Joseph, as a reward for you believing the angel, marrying a woman pregnant not with your child, and raising that child you can NEVER has sex with your wife or be blessed with children of your own"  Some blessing!)

I have read the Da Vinci Code.  I don't believe the story it has of Mary Magdalene.  Because for one, Mary Magdalene was never tagged as a prostitute in the Bible.  \n\nThis is the story I believe about Mary Magdalene: http://www.jesusdecoded.com/catholicchurch8.php

I think it is very possible they were married, but maybe not.  There is some evidence that he may have been married and some that says the person he was married to was Mary Magdalene.  The big thing is - does it matter?  I don't believe that if he was married it changed his message at all.

Yes and you are going to hell! j/k.  She probably had the prostitute gulit on her chest and once she told her secret she was freed to the afterlife.

I've never seen that in the Bible... perhaps you should ask the person that said it, and if he or she can back it up, let me know so I can study it. Thanks.\n\nWell, now that he has posted it, it can be explained, as I have in fact read it.\n\nKeep in mind that "lie" does not mean "rape" it means sex whether consensual or not.\n\n[23] If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;\n[24] Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.\n\nThis is not saying that the girl was raped - it is talking about a girl that makes no objection to lying with the man when if she didn't want to lie with him, she could object and try get help since she was in a populated area. She is having consensual adulterous sex.\n\nIf she objected, fought, screamed, cried out, then she would not be held responsible. All the women in the area knew this, as it was part of the law. Because of the culture and the value of a woman's virginity, a woman would have cried out and struggled violently with a man who was raping her to try and get help - just as any woman would do today if she were in a populated area where help was available.\n\nYou'll notice that in the following verses, the woman is presumed innocent if the event occurred in an isolated area even if it cannot be proved that she made an objection, because there was no one to help her. The man is put to death for adultery, since she was betrothed.\n\nIn the last verses, if a man and a woman have sex, and she is not betrothed but is a virgin, then he has to marry her. This is to protect the woman - no one afterwards would have married her and taken care of her. It was meant to discourage men from taking advantage of girls, or being "players" so to speak.
