Do the Gospels hint at Magdalen being His wife?

Question

John 12:1-3- Then Jesus six days before the Passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom He raised from the dead.
There they made Him a supper, and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with Him.
Then Mary took a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.


This is the same ointment that contained his circumcised skin. Only a husband or male family member, in traditional Judaic custom, was allowed to see a woman's hair. Mary wiping Jesus feet with her hair is a tantalizing hint as to her status...any thoughts?

Guys, guys,I am not citing DaVinci. Please give me some credit. Try a lifetime of study-I am not ignorant or adding anything. I am reading what is there, and with my knowledge of Judaic tradition put forth an idea. Are ideas that threatening to you?

Answer 1

Nowhere in the New Testament does it say that Jesus was celibate - or unmarried. As a matter of fact, in Judaism an unmarried man is considered incomplete. Typically, all Jewish holy men – teachers and prophets alike – were married. It would have been highly unusual for a recognized rabbi (teacher) to be single. Originally, Christianity was a Jewish spiritual movement, and Jesus taught Jewish individuals primarily. Bearing that in mind, it would have been easier for students to accept that Jesus was married than to accept a rabbi unwilling or unable to sustain a marriage. This is quite the opposite of the unnatural view we have been lead to believe – that the union of Jesus with a wife and consort would somehow diminish his spiritual status. The truth is that it would have exalted him all the more, and this is precisely the Sophian view.

Gnostic Scriptures are significantly more straightforward with regard to the sacred relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene; the inclusion of the Sacred Feminine; and the mystery of hieros gamos in the Christ revelation. In the Gospel of St. Thomas – albeit in a somewhat awkward fashion – the final saying clearly cites the equality of men and women by putting forth a statement of Jesus saying he will make Mary Magdalene “male” like the men who are his disciples. In saying this of Mary, he says this of all women – that in Spirit they are equal to men. The Gospel of St. Philip goes even further, clearly stating that Mary Magdalene was the wife and consort of Jesus, and that he taught her more than any of his male disciples. This gospel even alludes to her as Jesus’s equal and co-preacher of the Gospel. In the Gnostic Gospel entitled Pistis Sophia (“Faith-Wisdom”), Mary Magdalene is portrayed as his inmost disciple and serves in a capacity much like that of a divine muse; inspiring and facilitating the outpouring of secret knowledge from the Risen Savior.

Answer 2

it is between the gnostic gospels it truly is attributed to her. i love the gospel of Thomas, yet another one which change into no longer canonised at Nicaea. 'the merely precise decrease' is something that each and every one Christians favor to study about yet are frequently unaware of. Why close the canon and go away it as is? truly the folk who chosen the books make blunders. How about reading for your self in the previous identifying. Too many human beings settle for it because the understand god in the previous even reading it. i anticipate they bypass with assistance from the call and some not frequently get round to reading it in any respect. the first e book that would want to be culled from the sequence is Revelation. It appears like a baby's ideas at paintings. i imagine magic mushrooms were someway in touch. the merely e book nicely worth conserving is James, and there are a good number of alternative inspired instructors from countless cultures, Lao Tzu, Socrates, Mahavira, Peter Singer. The canon might want to stay open and falsifiable.

Answer 3

If you believe that Mary was the Adulterous woman of John 8, it is inconceivable for Christ to have sexual relations with him. She stood faithful to him, as he was crucified (John 19:25), and it can be deduced from this that Jesus was blameless in her eyes and that she was repentant of her sins. She was reformed in the Lord.

Answer 4

That wasn't Mary Magdalene - that was Mary of Bethany. Mary Magdalene was from Magdala, and was other wise known as the Woman with the Issue of Blood.

Answer 5

You are reading into it and finding your own interpretation. You are adding things that aren't there. Jesus was never married. If you got this idea from The Davince Code, then you are following a lie. Dan Brown is Pagan and he won't tell you the truth. He was serving his own purpose and trying to mislead people. Don't fall for it.

Answer 6

Jesus being God in the flesh, is considered the husband of the church. Also being God he is our Father. Being the Son he is our brother. My thoughts are Jesus is the head of the believers family. Where did you get the ingredients of the oil she used? Sounds like something from a Dan Brown novel.

Answer 7

Christ Bride is the Church.
Jesus made this very clear.

Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Rev 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God

Answer 8

My thought is....the answer to your question is no. Jesus was not married and there was nothing "tantalizing" about this story from the bible. Mary was showing her humility and devotion, and Jesus noted it as such.

And of course that is not what was in the ointment. It was perfume. Good grief, person.

Answer 9

Who gives a crapp, I wish he would have filled the earth with his sons. Then maybe we would have leaders who followed justice, mercey, compasion, and faith. Nothing against Mr. Bush, Im unsure what we should do also.

Answer 10

No, they hint at no such thing. Why do people go look for meaning in things that are quite innocuous? Don't search and try and find hidden meanings to scriptures before you master doing the things that are plain to understand. When your life models the sermon on the mount, then search other things if you wish...but at that point you will understand that you don't need to.
