Question

Is there a passage of the Bible that refers to Mary Magdelene as an instument of God, or a victim of faith? If so, could you point me towards it?

Answer 1

Mary Magdalene had been delivered from 7 demons (Luke 8:2). She was a victim of being completely possessed. Jesus delivered Her. She loves Jesus much.

Every believer is an instrument of God. Victim of faith is not in the bible. So that thought is adding to God's Word. Paul had stated, "I am a prisoner of Christ...".

It doesn't mention that She was a martyr for Christ either. Jesus did tell Peter He would be a martyr for the good news. He told John He needed to wait. So He did, & Jesus gave Him the vision recorded in Revelations.

Answer 2

I didn't find any phrases as you suggest, but then I was searching the New King James. The closest I find is Luke 8:2, which refers to her having been cured of seven demons. Almost all the other passages referring to Magdalene (note the correct spelling) are about her being at the tomb when Jesus was raised from the dead. But as I recall, there are quite a few passages that are understood to refer to her, but which do not use the name "Magdalene," but refer to Mary. You have to know from context that it is Magdalene and not Jesus' mother they mean.

Did you know you can search the Bible electronically? There are several sites, actually, but the one I like best is listed below. They let you choose which version you want to use, and include languages other than English, as well.

Answer 3

Here are all the versus that refer to Mary Magdalene in the Bible. I used a progam called FreeBible. Read these versus in context for further help.

Matthew 27:56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.

Matthew 27:61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.

Matthew 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

Mark 15:40 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;

Mark 15:47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.

Mark 16:1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.

Mark 16:9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

Luke 8:2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,

Luke 24:10 It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.

John 19:25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

John 20:1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

John 20:18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the LORD, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

Answer 4

Luke 7:36-50
Mark 16 is the account of Mary Magdalene going to the tomb and finding the stone rolled away from the front of Jesus's tomb.
Matthew 28 also is an account .
Luke 10:38-42 is the account of Martha and Mary. Martha upset because she was serving the Lord and Mary was sitting at His feet and listening to His word.

Answer 5

Hello friend,
The direct answer to your question is no.
She would have been an instrument the same as you or I.
You can read about Mary who was from the region of Magdala.
What we think of as her "last name" simply referred to where she was from, and not her name.

Remember Jesus was called Jesus of Galilee and Jesus the Nazarene etc. In those days folks were identified by where they lived.

Magdala is also called Magadan in Mat.15:39, the same place.

This Mary you ask about had seven demons cast from her, which your can read about in Luke 8:2. She was a follower of Christ as were other women. See Luke 24:1-10 etc.

She also was the one to see Christ after He arose from the dead.
Look at John 20:11-18.
To be sure, she is a fascinating woman whom I expect to meet when I get Home. And if I get there before you, I'll introduce you to her when you get there.

Blessings,
2 Tim. 2:7

Answer 6

hahahaha. Was she married to Jesus?

I love it, because this proves that Jesus does have a wife in the future, but it’s not Mary Magdalene, that all these corrupt versions I mentioned promote. Why? The Bible teaches that every born again believer becomes a member of the body of Christ instantaneously when he receives Jesus, I Corinthians 12:13. But he also becomes a member of the Bride of Christ. Every one saved from Pentecost until we hear, Come up hither, Revelation 4:1, is a member of the coming bride. Now, Revelation 19:7 says, let us give honor unto him, for the marriage of the Lamb, and the Lamb is Christ, has come. So the marriage takes place in heaven. Then He comes back to earth to set up His kingdom for 1,000 years, Revelation 20:4, and He honeymoons here with His bride, the church of Jesus Christ. And the Marriage Supper takes place here on earth, because all the saints who’ve died during the Tribulation hour have to be part of the Supper. :)

Answer 7

she was a woman who followed Jesus.
A person who had 7 demons cast out of her by Jesus.
She mentioned 12 times in the gospels.
The code is a falsity made up to make people money.
It is said by the author that it is fiction.
I find it wild that she was written about in the Bible for 2000 years and now people are willing to jump on this wacky story.

Answer 8

Mary Magdalene was a woman from whom Jesus cast out seven demons (Luke 8:2). After Jesus cast out the seven demons from her, she became one of His followers.
The name Magdalene comes from her being from the city Magdala.
She was a prostitute that washed Jesus' feet...Jesus forgave her of her sins, and told her to go and sin no more.
There is NO mention in the bible anywhere stating they had any kind of relation other than she was a follower.

Answer 9

Mary Magdalene was a follower of Christ. She was only an 'instrument of God' as much as any Christian is. God works through his people.

Answer 10

i have never seen where she is actually an instrument of God....she was a victim of sin like the rest of us....Mt 27:56 '61..28:1 Mk 15:40..47: ...16:1,9.....LK8:2, 24:10...JN19:25..20:1,18
