    The Repentant Woman, Mary of Bethany, and Mary Magdalene: One Figure?

    Yes the woman in luke was a sinner and that sin described. And 7 doesn't mean totality. And demons can mean different things.

    A person of authority is the key point.

    The Repentant Woman, Mary of Bethany, and Mary Magdalene: One Figure?

    Nothing ties these two events together. This is simple, what you believe is not there. These are two different women that anointed Yeshua's feet for different reasons, at different places, and different groups.

    The Repentant Woman, Mary of Bethany, and Mary Magdalene: One Figure?

    And it definitely does not prove the same person.

    The Repentant Woman, Mary of Bethany, and Mary Magdalene: One Figure?

    They are three separate accounts with a lot of differences and no scripture ties them together.

    The Repentant Woman, Mary of Bethany, and Mary Magdalene: One Figure?

    Biblical numerology....In general 3 represents the Trinity. 7 represents the Divine. 10 represents sufficiency. 40 represents the completion of a Divine plan.

    The Repentant Woman, Mary of Bethany, and Mary Magdalene: One Figure?

    Scriptures give no indication of a woman named Mary Magdalene had a general troubled past or specific troubled past.

    The Repentant Woman, Mary of Bethany, and Mary Magdalene: One Figure?

    Ok, again.....The purpose of anointing Yeshua was different. Mary of Bethany was doing a moral act. The place was different and the group present was different. So your belief does not come from the scriptures. The event of Mary of Bethany anointing Yeshua brings up questions because the other...

    The Repentant Woman, Mary of Bethany, and Mary Magdalene: One Figure?

    I agree those are examples of general forgiveness. Argument? This is a friendly debate. One of the easier ones. The scriptures win this debate. And the scriptures give no indication of a sinful nature of Mary Magdalene.

    The Repentant Woman, Mary of Bethany, and Mary Magdalene: One Figure?

    Demons in that time period can represent illness. And no indicates that Mary Magkalene acted like she was demon possessed. And if it was actual demon possession, as today demon possession does not usually occur to overtly sinful people. And Yeshua described this woman in Luke 7 as sexually...

    The Repentant Woman, Mary of Bethany, and Mary Magdalene: One Figure?

    My mom was Catholic and my dad was Southern Baptist, and that is one of the reasons I think I became a Theologian. I have studied under formal schooling for most of my life. And I can tell you that no professor in Theology believes that Mary Magdeline was sexually promiscuous or a prostitute...

    The Repentant Woman, Mary of Bethany, and Mary Magdalene: One Figure?

    That is John’s way of saying she had done this before. I disagree. Now if you show examples of this style it would be something to consider. Mary, in Luke 7 fits perfectly with Mary Magdalene’s background. Mary is a well‑known public sinner in Galilee who repents and is forgiven by Jesus. Mary...

    Contradiction or wrongly dividing ? !!!

    Contradiction or wrongly dividing ? !!!

    The main point is just a matter of fact. The Hebrew word for promise does not occur in the Old Testament. And a lot of what Yahweh told Abraham did not happen. Now those in the New Testament thought they were promises.....which is an open ended belief......They could still occur 10 billion...

    Contradiction or wrongly dividing ? !!!

    I gave you the actual scripture. The Hebrew word for "promise" is הַבְטָחָה (havtachah), meaning assurance, pledge, or commitment. The word used in Psalm 105:42 is də·ḇar Meaning of də·ḇar in Biblical Hebrew In Biblical Hebrew, də·ḇar (דֶּבָר) means “word,” “speech,” “matter,” “thing,” or...

    Contradiction or wrongly dividing ? !!!

    You want to call it a world promise, that is nowhere in the scriptures. And that did not take a promise, the population of the world was in deed going to grow.

    Contradiction or wrongly dividing ? !!!

    At no time have the Jews made up more than 2.1% of the worlds population. As it is today about .2%. When the New Testament spoke of the Abrahamic promises they probably were not thinking of Moslems.

    Contradiction or wrongly dividing ? !!!

    The word promise does not occur in the Old Testament.... For He remembered His holy word With Abraham His servant; NASB But it is a prime example of translators putting things they want to be there in their translations. Another example; Yahweh never threatened Hell as a punishment for the...

    The Repentant Woman, Mary of Bethany, and Mary Magdalene: One Figure?

    If you are looking for distinction in stories......Two different reasons for anointing Yeshua.....Two different places...... two different groups of people......Two different conversaions.....and the woman in Luke was described as a promiscuous woman.

    The Repentant Woman, Mary of Bethany, and Mary Magdalene: One Figure?

    There is no biblical reason to tie Mary Magdaline to the repentant woman who was probably a prostitute in Luke 7. Pope Gregory I in the 6th century tied Mary Magdaline with the repentant woman in Luke 7, but it was false. Lazarus' home in Bethany became sort of a home base for Yeshua and Mary...
