is it true virgin mary has a gospel of her own?

Answer 1

during the early centuries of christianity there were many gospels, some of them dubious, others plainly bogus.

Jesus Christ was a bestselling topic and all sorts of people decided they would like to write something about Him and make a pot of money.

there were gospels about mary magdalene, simon, thomas, judas - and several dozen others that we know of. there were probably also hundreds which never caught on and have now beeen wholly forgotten.

the early church decided to settle on the four gospels of the new testament as the reliable ones - the others were more or less forgotten and disappeared.

if god had intended those other gospels to survive, perhaps he would have done something about it.

Answer 2

There is a Mary Magdalene's Gospel. It's part of the Nag Hammadi Library - a set of 52 early Christian manuscripts discovered in Egipt in 1945. Among those manuscripts there is also a Gospel according to Thomas, Gospel of Philip, Gospel of Truth, Gospel to the Egyptians, Secret Book of James, Apocalypse of Peter, and the Apocalyps of Paul. Plus many other realigious and philosophical texts. The early Christian Church was very aware of these texts, but around 200 A.D the church leaders set down and chose only the four Gospels that were best serving their interests at that point. After that the "official church" did everythinng it took to discredit all the other gospels that they left apart. Some of the those gospels that are not presently included in the New Testament are older and make much more sens than the ones that are. Whoever wrote them was closest to the period of time Jesus lived. However, the apostels of Jesus and the early Christian have, of course, interpreted the events in their own ways. You can very clear see that in the New Testament, as well. The four "oficial" gospels have very significant differences between them. I wish people would be more open-minded about these things and realize that the truth is not necessarily the way the church leaders present it. They are humans and they have their own interests and the politics at that levels is unfortunately the main driving power...

Answer 3

As far as I know there is no gospel of the virgin Mary. There is however a gospel of Mary but it is the gospel of Mary Magdalen. It was not included in the official gospels of the Bible.

There are other gospels that didn't get included as well. There are several books out covering them if you are interested. A couple I know of is "Lost Scriptures:Books Books That Did Not Make It Into The New Testament" by Bart Ehrman

or "The Gnostic Bible" by Willis Barnstone

Answer 4

I've never heard that the Virgin Mary has a gospel of her own. Mary Magdalene does though.

Answer 5

There were recently some gospels discovered that support the idea that Mary Magdelene was a disciple of Jesus along with the other twelve. These gospels were supposedly hidden and copies destroyed by the early Catholic Church.

These papers have been authenticated, but whether the Catholic Church (or any Church) will recognize them and incorporate them into their liturgy is doubtful.

Answer 6

As stated previously Mary's story is told in the Infancy gospels, and there is a scripture called The Apocalypse of the Virgin
but it is supposedly a forgery due to claims that it was written centuries after the bible.

Answer 7

Yes and no. Mary's story is covered not in generally accepted Christian scripture, but it can be found in the Christian Apocrypha. Look for "The Infancy Gospel of James" and "The Infancy Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew" for more details.

Answer 8

well, technically, yes.

but it wasn't thought of as official church doctrine, because as far as i know, it had bits and pieces of jesus' post 12 pre 33 life in it that made him out to be less than godlike, ie, human.
i don't remember if this is the one, but one of those gospels has a story about jesus hitting birds with rocks for fun, just like a normal kid might. god forbid jesus was a normal teenager in the eyes of the church. so it was thrown out.

all the gospels are subject to interpretation and the author's memory, so we're not really too sure about any of the gospels. the four official ones stress different points of jesus' teachings and life, but if you look closely, certain parts don't mesh so well. but that's to be expected. if you took four people now and told them to write about one event they witnessed, there will be some minor inconsistencies, and certain things that one author finds more important will be embellished.

so we really don't know which ones care true or not. the church in the 4th century is hardly one to believe since they did have another agenda in mind, to unify the religion.

Answer 9

No, there is no canonical (officially recognized) Gospel of Mary. There may be one that is apocryphal (not recognized and not considered to be authentic).

Answer 10

It is true that people are going around saying that there is. But, lets try just getting the truth spread instead of historical and biblical snot.
