Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 (This Mary, whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet with her hair.) John 11:1-2 Six days before the Passover, Jesus therefore came...

There is nothing in post #74 that shows the apostle John identifing Mary of Bethany as the repentant prostitute.

Oh Magdala existed but back in Christ’s time it was called Tarichaea. And the scriptures do not say Mary from Magdalene but rather Mary the Magdalene. One of the reasons why some believe she was Mary the female Magi. We can make up things as we go and it may be more entertaining but not the truth.

Some people think that Magdalene means Magdela and some believe that Magdalene means female from the Magi, but both are speculations because the scriptures do not indicate either one.

Post 79 I already said that Mary Magdalene was the Mary at Lazarus’ house in Bethany. But she was not the repentant prostitute at the Pharisee’s house. This is one of the reasons that I don't want to talk to you about this because you keep trying to twist things around.

I do not believe that Mary Magdalene was the repentant prostitute or that she was from Magdala. No indication in the scriptures of Mary Magdalene doing anything immoral. The Mary at Lazarus house in Bethany was Mary Magdalene. Mary Magdalene and Martha were sisters and Lazarus was their brother...

No one of any real knowledge level of Mary Magdalene believes she was a prostitute.

Here is the deal….If the scriptures ever identified Mary Magdalene as the repentant prostitute professional theologians would know it. And so that you know I am a professional theologian. Actually schooled for most of life in theology and history in 5 countries. Mary Magdalene was very close to...

That is ok.

If your wanting to talk some more....pick a different topic.

We have discussed this enough.

Nothing in the scriptures even suggest that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. We have discussed this enough.

Facts and possibilities are two different things.

Again find an example of someone demon possessed because of something they did. And the scriptures never say that Mary Magdalene was a great sinner. You keep overriding the scriptures with what you believe. Have you ever considered writing your own Bible? It would be a lot easier than beating...

She was human....all have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God. But the scriptures do not say she or anyone else had demons because of something they had done.

I do suspect things that are not defined in the scriptures, but they stay in that category as something that is possible. Not try to tell some one that it is a fact. For example I suspect it is possible that the marriage at Cana was between Mary the mother of Christ. And I suspect that the...

I know of no examples of that.

No where in the scriptures do they refer to Mary Magdalene as a “great sinner”

Everything that the scriptures attest to her doing was moral and that she was a respected individual. That is not an account of a minute by minute of her life. I am sure she made mistakes just like you and I have.

I did not say I believe it, I said I suspected it. We do not know for sure. The scriptures say He cast our demons so that is fine with me.
