    Was Mary Magdalene the sister of Lazarus?

    Nothing in the scriptures to suggest this. It just does not fit in the storyline. Making things up does not work. And I recommend that you take some serious course in Christianity. And you never answered my question.....Why is it so important to you that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute?

    Was Mary Magdalene the sister of Lazarus?

    Some Bible students find interest in realizing that Jesus’ feet were anointed with oil and wiped with a woman’s hair on two different occasions. Sometimes these two events get confused as one event, because of the similarities between them, but they are definitely two distinct times in the life...

    Was Mary Magdalene the sister of Lazarus?

    Understanding what is said and what is not said…. Mary Magdalene figures prominently into the narrative of the four Gospels, even more so than Christ’s mother. But then the females mostly disappear from the narratives which leads scholars to suspect disagreements and possible jealousies. And...

    Was Mary Magdalene the sister of Lazarus?

    Simon the Leper emerges in a brief but dramatic scene recorded in Matthew 26:6–13 and Mark 14:3–9. While Jesus was staying in Bethany, one night He and the disciples were invited for a meal at the home of Simon the Leper. As Jesus reclined at the dinner table, an unnamed woman came in, broke an...

    Was Mary Magdalene the sister of Lazarus?

    Nope. Mary Magdalene anointed Christ’s feet and wiped them with her hair at Simon the Leper’s house with Lazarus and his disciples for the purpose of preparing Him for burial. And His disciples protested over the use of expensive nard. And Judas went to betray Him. Then the repentant prostitute...

    Was Mary Magdalene the sister of Lazarus?

    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.

    Was Mary Magdalene the sister of Lazarus?

    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.

    Was Mary Magdalene the sister of Lazarus?

    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.

    Was Mary Magdalene the sister of Lazarus?

    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.

    Was Mary Magdalene the sister of Lazarus?

    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.

    Was Mary Magdalene the sister of Lazarus?

    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...
