Mary Magdalene was not a prostitute. The early Chrisitan church discarded her as one of Jesus' disciples because she was a woman, and they didn't want women to have power or authority, or indeed even be equal with men.
Why was this? Because the form of Christianity that won out in the end was Pauline, and Saul of Tarsus was a balatnt misogynist. How on earth could early Christian leaders reconcile "Women should be silent in church" with having Mary Magdalene as a prime example of how JESUS wanted women to be his voice on earth as much as he wanted men?
The prostitute bit was just a fabrication that the early church added in to justify their exclusion of her.

The idea that Mary Magdaline was a prostitute was created by a Pope in the 9th Century. There is no evidence that she was a Prostitute. However, I do think that Jesus would have "hung out" with one, as well as all sinners.

Good Haggard reference there.
I would assume Jesus used prositutes like other men did at that time.

Jesus hung E.T instead of prositutes

Jesus was sent to earth to seek out sinners. He was to teach everyone about his father in heaven. He talked to this woman and expelled 7 demons from her and told her go and sin no more. This was enough reason for her to put faith in him and to back up such faith with outstanding works of devotion and service.
I feel sorry for the clergymen of christendom. If they don't get out of Babalon the great and don't keep sharing in her sins and misleading many their will be gnashing of teeth knowing their outcome. If they don't have God's holy spirit and are not teaching the truth their way of life will be exposed.
There is a small winding road to life and few are the ones finding it. TV evangelists are more consumed with self glory and the mighty dollar. Their churches are too large to give individualized attention to the flock.
Do not be misled. God is not one to be mocked. For whatever a man is sowing, this he will also reap, because he who is sowing with a view to the flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but he who is sowing with a view to the spirit will reap everlasting life from the spirit. So let us not give up doing what is fine, for in due season we shall reap if we do not tire out. Galations 6:7-9
Some clergymen think God is not watching so they molest small children..others steal from the church..others go after flesh for unnatural perversions. And these men are leading you?Some are taking many wives from other men as their own. Some are talking politics in a land that want to separate the church from the politicians but the churches still want to prostitute pure worship with them.
In the bible christendom is portrayed as a prostitute drunk from the wine of the holy ones..and the political elements turn on her and devour her.
So run people because they were prophesied to go down and anyone affiliated with them will be destroyed also.
Take up pure worship of the almighty God Jehovah.
His purpose for the earth is for it to be filled with righteous worshippers of him..and he gives us a paradise forever with no end.
Get out from those churches as fast as you can.

He respected them for who they were as people & understood the reasoning behind thier choice of profession or lack of choice.

Just showed them love and kindness, they are no less or no more than anyone of us. We are all Gods children, some of us are just more fortunate.

He forgave them and gave them a second chance because they deserved it just like everyone else.

He saved her and said"Who think one have no sin committed in life can threw stone to kill her."
