"Were Jesus and Mary Magdalene married?"

[marg]

Mary Magdalene is what every guy/husband dreams of. supportive, sweet, beautiful, appealing, sensual, humble and probably ***y.

just picture a fashion model with Elizabeth Taylor cunningness but with the qualities of good housewife.

To us that's the perfect woman in the world. unlike what we have now, meron ka nga good housewife, lumba-lumba naman and very controlling and possessive, tapos kung maka-dasal parang lahat na lang ng dangers na-foresee kaya wag ka ng kumilos at sa bahay ka nalang, magpataba sa 55" tv mo

meron ka HoT chick/pokpokin taas naman ng ere if not "dumb blonde", meron ka nga smart / intelligent girl pero grabe naman ang pride at kung mag-claim ng equality sa'yo tapos sobrang binabasa mind mo to the point na yun na nga lang ang private sayo, gusto nya andun sya sa loob. yan ang mga babae ngaun

Wow, BRAIN WASHED by the catholic church.

Bentang-benta sa kwento-kwento lang.

what Jesus Christ found in Mary Magdalene is a one-of-a-kind woman siguro. and Mary Magdalene may be one of the reasons why God had second thoughts of ending humanity.

Nag-second thought din kaya si Jesus at Magdalene?

Mary Magdalene was one of the most devoted of his followers, always by his side and 'ministered to him of her substance.' She attended him to Calvary, stood weeping at the foot of the cross, and was the first to see the Christ risen. Extra-biblical and Gnostic traditions about Mary Magdalene holds that she was the wife of Jesus and pregnant with his child at the time of his death, a fact which was omitted by later revisionist editors of the Gospels. Interpreted allegorically, Luke-Acts reveals their marriage, a daughter, and two sons.

There is good argument which supports the idea of their marriage. Bachelorhood was very rare for Jewish males of Jesus' time, being generally regarded as a transgression of the first mitzvah (divine commandment): "Be fruitful and multiply". Mary Magdalene appears with great frequency (especially as compared with other women in the Gospels) and is shown as being a close follower of Jesus.

In the scene of the wedding at Cana, the names of the nuptial couple are not mentioned, but Jesus acts as a groom would be expected to act at such a wedding. Mary's presence at the Crucifixion and Jesus' tomb is consonant with a role as grieving wife and widow.

After the Crucifixion she watched by his tomb, and was the first to whom he appeared after the resurrection; her unfaltering faith, mingled as it was with intense grief and love, obtained for her this peculiar mark of favor. It is assumed by several commentators that Jesus appeared first to Mary Magdalene because she, of all those whom he had left on earth, was his beloved and in most need of consolation: The disciples went away unto their own; but Mary stayed without the sepulcher and wept.

Well, whether Jesus was married or not, it doesn't diminish my belief in his divinity.

Besides, why would it matter now? Will the fact of marriage serve to increase or decrease the faithful?

If he got married, it might mean he would have children. And if he had children, wouldn't it be interesting to find out who is the modern descendant of the blood line of Jesus & Mary?

It would also question the divinity of Jesus. Did he really rise up to heaven or did he live out the rest of his natural life after having "risen" from the dead. Was he really the son of God or was he just a radical Jewish Rabbi or a prophet of God? As the Bible was interpreted and changed many times through the centuries, the religious "truth" has become a matter of whose interpretation you want to believe in.

It might not affect your faithfulness to your religion but it would affect the fundamentals of your faith's basis. It's like being told you were "adopted" when you have reached adulthood. It doesn't change who you are but it does make you curious about your origins.

Er... OB?



If indeed that were to be, this would be quite a big shake-up... and their income should be tax free just as well?

"And the companion of the [Saviour was] Mary Magdalene. He loved her more than all the disciples [and used to] kiss her often on her [mouth]. The rest of the disciples [were offended and] said to him: "Why do you love her more than all of us?" The Saviour answered and said to them " Why do I not love you like her? When a blind man and one who sees are both together in darkness, they are no different from one another. When the light comes, then he who sees will see the light, and he who is blind will remain in darkness"

meron ka nga smart / intelligent girl pero grabe naman ang pride at kung mag-claim ng equality sa'yo tapos sobrang binabasa mind mo to the point na yun na nga lang ang private sayo, gusto nya andun sya sa loob. yan ang mga babae ngaun

kahit in ancient times meron strong-willed intelligent women

men are intimidated by women like that so they suppress them

early Christian church leaders said women have to submit to their husbands

and there's one major religion that greatly suppresses women diba? their women are all covered up
