  • The gospels cite Mary Magdalene as either the first of Jesus’ followers to testify of his resurrection or as part of a group of women followers who were the first. The gospel of Luke lists her among the wealthy women who provided material support to Jesus and his disciples and states that Jesus had cast seven demons out of her. In the gospel of John, she is among the women who witnessed Jesus’ crucifixion. Several Christian communities, including the Gnostics, looked to Mary Magdalene as an authority greater than many of Jesus’ male apostles. She is included in several apocryphal texts including the Gospel of Thomas, the Dialogue of the Savior, and her own Gospel of Mary.
    Already in Antiquity, she was conflated with other gospel characters, including the unnamed “sinful woman” who anoints Jesus’ feet in Luke 7: 36-50, given rise to the false tradition that she had been a prostitute. More recently, because of fictional accounts like The DaVinci Code and modern frauds like the Gospel of Jesus’ Wife, the completely baseless idea that she was Jesus’ wife has become popular.
    John Hamer of Toronto Centre Place will revisit the various accounts of Jesus’ most famous female follower, to discern what can be known about the historical Mary Magdalene and will survey her many, diverse legacies.
    A Q&A and discussion will follow the presentation. Please send your questions on the live chat.

    Early Christianity
    Gnosticism
    Gospel of Mary
    The Jesus Movement

      I'm not entirely surprised that someone would write that, to be honest. As a practicing Catholic, I've always been curious as to the importance of Mary Magdalene and the fact that she was treated by Jesus as one of his confidantes. Personally, I get this sense and feeling that while orthodox Catholicism states that the spirit is male (i.e. masculine), I've personally always felt a feminine energy from that part of the trinity. It's definitely an interesting idea, but of course I can only go my own intuition, as I don't have any primary or secondary sources to define or defend those ideas.

    Do you think it might be profitable, to include in the discussion the work of Glenn Kimball? While I realize getting ahold of much of his work is difficult following his death (as his family seems to be suppressing the vast catalogue of his recordings), there are still some lectures and interviews up on CZcams... not to mention two of his three small books. His contention is that there is post-extra-Biblical evidence that Mary the mother of Jesus, Magdaline and Joseph of Arimathea (among several others close to Jesus) fled or were forced out of the Holy Land and migrated to countries up north. I think his insight into records of this migration northward and the impact of their potential presence in northern countries is terribly fascinating and, potentially, very important. For anyone interested in this subject, I would highly recommend taking Glenn's lifetime of work into consideration.

    For many years it's been my contention, having delved into interlinear translations, that the reference to the, "beloved/who he loved" disciple was Mary M., particularly from John 19:27 since all it took was to change neutral word to masculine.
    Also in the "naming" of Simon, the Greek word, according to concordances [Strong's, Thayer's, etc.] was, "petras" rather than, "petra" changing the meaning from, "shard/gravel/pebble" to the universally used, "rock" , which would make sense that Jesus would be making a joke about the conspicuously irascible and slow to understand Simon finally getting something right. Ironic though in light of where the name, "Peter" has been used ever since, eh?
    Another term that's questionable to me is disciple.
    disciple - from the Greek mathités which means, "students" or "schoolchildren", in one instance the meaning is specified as the first stage of learning, what we'd call kindergarten. Disciple has come to be understood as ones who completely understand and fully accept the ideology of the teacher.

    • @SergioBriMa

      I’m catholic and my understanding of disciple is just as a willing student of the teachings of Christ. And from my own understanding a disciple should never embrace any ideology, since ideology blinds us from Truth.
      What cultural/denominational niches do you see this mistaken understanding of disciple occur? I’m sure that even happens in Catholicism just that my own experiences have been much more grounded in the nuance that comes with truly understanding since we keep making new mistakes even when the old ones get fixed.

In other words, he acknowledged the fact that women prayed and prophesied in the assembly. He just said they need to wear a head covering. The women who he said should remain silent in the churches were not prophesying or praying but must have been causing a a disturbance of some kind. He said that if they have questions, they need to ask their husbands at home. But prophetesses are well established in the church.

    As I myself am interested in Catastrophism, I’m always drawn to possible esoteric meanings in scripture (and all sorts of traditions ), so I found it interesting that someone else was asking about the anointment of the feet, the meaning of the hair (as rays) and the tears etc. - and also interesting then your explanation that Myrrhe is the pointer to death and the Egg to resurrection (- btw. the egg has a shell that comes off; significance see below).
    As my favorite interpretation of catastrophism has shifted somewhat away from comet impact to micro-nova, my own question in this story was drawn to the linen / cloth left behind after Christ has risen, and the angel in white cloth. Esoterically death and resurrection of Christ becomes about death and resurrection of the Human Civilization after the last reset, and with the sun being the actor, it becomes ultimately about death and resurrection of the sun.
    So my interpretation of the left behind linen would be an outer shell / layer of the sun (that may have dimmed the suns light for a time) that gets blown away by an eruption. (Something similar but larger may have recently have happened with the temporary dimming of Betelgeuse).
    I was recently drawn to repeating in my mind the “Memorial Acclamation” in my head, although I have been considering myself an atheist for more than a decade now, I was actually raised as a believer (I’m German and Lutheran).
    “We proclaim your Death, O Lord,
    and profess your Resurrection,
    until you come again.”
    In my head it is German of course:
    “Deinen Tod, oh Herr, verkünden wir. Deine Auferstehung preisen wir, bis Du kommst in Herrlichkeit. - Geheimnis des Glaubens.”
    “Bis Du kommst in Herrlichkeit.” actually translates as: until you come in Glory. And when I think of Glory, I think of Gloriole = Nimbus, which also conveys the image of a blown away layer with the brightest rays coming from the center. And awaiting that kind of “glory” again at the end of the age points of course to a repeating event / sun cycle.
    I could go on, how the twelve apostles represent the zodiac, and thus refer to the cycle of the Great Year (see precession of the equinoxes; watch some Randall Carlson for instance), so I thought: maybe Mary Magdalene being the first witness to resurrection might make her also an object on the sky (maybe Venus getting passed by the blown away layer first, so Venus enters the “grave” in a manner of speaking: which would make Mercury “the beloved” Apostle (Mercury is always facing the sun! It stopped revolving around itself)) etc. - there is a whole rathole to go down (Who is Peter? the Earth? Who are the 500? The Asteroid Belt? ). But there it gets complicated: there already is Mary (the mother of god / the virgin sign of the zodiac) on the sky… - but that’s another story. maybe there can be multiple Mary.
    P.S.: I know: scripture has many layers of text / authors, and also many layers of meaning, and not every layer of text has a correspondence to every layer of meaning. Still it is fun to try to get at the esoteric stuff (especially in John), even if sometimes I’m being anachronistic (or worse) in finding my own layers, that actually aren’t there at all.

    Is every exchange between the apostles dialectic? Is anything in the gospels not dialectic? How late could the gospels conceivably be? Is it all too late to preserve historical information, because that's not what it was trying to do? Could it be that the gospels are trying to grant authority in the great argument for which "new" traditions should win out following the destruction of the 2nd temple and the Roman decimation of Jerusalem?

      Also, IF Philo and Logos-theology is the germ for Jesus Christ, is there any scholarship for John being the original Gospel? It's definitely closest to Philo, and then could explain the synoptic gospels attempting to put the Logos-made-flesh into actual history, perhaps using Josephus (which is why Luke knows Josephus, as I've commented on other videos).

    Jacapo explains that Syro was a Syrian nobleman, whose wife, Eucharia (Mary's mother), was of royal kindred. He continues, "Mary Magdalene was born of a right noble lineage, and her parents descended from the lineage of Kings." In a much earlier manuscript by Archbishop Rabanus Maurus, Eucharia is more fully detailed as a descendant of the Royal House of Israel.
    That was not the Davidic House of Judah but the priestly Hasmonaean House of the Maccabees, who reigned in Jerusalem from 166 BC until the Roman occupation of 63 BC under General Pompeii.

    Also, did I understand correctly that we think Mary Magdalene must be historical for the reason that Magdala is not a real place and someone wouldn't invent a non-real place? But wouldn't the non-existence of the village in the historical record at least open the door to invention?
    I believe the argument is that inventing a non-real place doesn't help someone trying to feign historicity (therefore it must be a real place that didn't make it into the records), but I don't think Mary Magdalene was used as an anchor to history. I think she served a dialectic purpose, and the name Magdalene tells us something about what she represents. Was "woman from Magdala" a Greek colloquialism prior to the gospel stories? I assume it's only because of them, which would mean she's "Mary of the Tower" or something like that. Either way, her character seems to serve the lesson of the story, not represent a historical patron or leader.

      LGBTQ+ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer, and other non-heteronormative identities. Some communities are LGBTQ+ “welcoming” or “accepting” of LGBTQ+, which implies LGBTQ+ persons are allowed into fellowship, but their identity might be perceived as undesirable-sinful, deviant, wrong-or something that should be fixed. An LGBTQ+ affirming community not only welcomes LGBTQ+ persons but also acknowledges their identity is not something they need to fix or hide. LGBTQ+ persons can fully express their identity without feeling second-class citizens.

    - not just the family is painted in a bad light. Mark also paints Jesus in a bad light.
    - the most obvious feature in Mark has been left out: the end mirrors the beginning.
    there is a simple reason for this behavour: Mark was a deconverted ex-christian. And he tells all the reasons to his deconverion in an allegorical way.

    I was always fascinated and wondering when women talk about St. MARY MAGDALENE (Mary from Magdala, presently Migdal, Palestine), most of the time they seldom mention, bring up the subject, or drop the issue that the facts, 7 Demons have cast out (expelled/exorcized/drove out) from her... (ref. Luke 8:2)...
    Most women firmly denied she was a former Adulterer or Prostitute, because it was not directly said in the Bible... Christ said, the Tax Collectors and Prostitutes will go ahead to the Kingdom of Heaven than those self-righteous Pharisees and Sadducees... (ref. Matt. 21:31).
    Do you think any woman possessed with 7 Demons is not capable of the Sin of Adultery, Fornication, or Prostitution?... It would be tough to believe that she was not capable of at least committing one of those SINS, wherein, in those days, women's roles were mainly Housewives for the main purpose of giving HEIRS to their own husbands' LINEAGE...

Not so, however, and the gospel of Philip, where the relationship between Jesus and Mary is openly discussed:
    "And the companion of the savior is Mary Magdalene. But Christ loved her more than all the disciples, and used to kiss her often on the mouth. The rest of the disciples were offended by it and expressed disapproval. They said unto him, why do you love her more than all of us, the Savior answered and said to them, why do I not love you like her? ... great is the mystery of marriage - for without it the world would not have existed. Now the existence of the world depends on man, and the existence of man on marriage." P. 70 Bloodline of the Holy Grail by Lawrence Gardner

    Is it like nobody is going to check anything someone says because less than 1% of the words in the bible are spoken by women. Mary mother of Jesus spoke four times. At least two of the times she speaks Jesus rebukes her. Paul thinks very highly of a woman in one of the churches he visited and then famously tells women to be quiet ( probably a scribal insertion). It was only after Adam rejected the animals that God decided to make Eve out of Adams spare parts. In America the various religions stood opposed to a woman's right to vote.

      “Spare parts”? Uhh no he didn’t. The Hebrew says God took from Adam’s “side”

      Adam did not 'reject' the animals. Rejected them in what way? He gave them all names: (Gen 2: 19 (KJV) (which means he named the 'serpent' also). God knew he needed a partner for himself and made Eve from one of Adams own bones, 'bone of my bones, flesh of my flesh', (Gen 2 :23 (KJV) not 'spare parts'.....from his very substance, out of his body. One flesh.

    I am surprised you do not mention that the bible was translated into several languages plus the Catholic church withheld seventeen books from the bible when the saint James bible arrived..
