Why do you think thier is such little written about the Holy Mother and Mary Magdela?

Question

After Jesus's resurrection?
Could it be that GOD knew that the Apostles (Men) would take a great deal of pain, torture and challenges in spreading the GOSPEL to the world, and did not want the Mary's to experience that?

Could it be that GOD always intended for Men to be the protector of women and his protection was to take the 2 Marys; with him to heaven shortly after he descended?

DId Jesus try to show MEN at that time how to treat and love women in GOD"S path because Adam failed at it? Some food for thought?

Answer 1

Could it be that when the men wrote the bible they intentionally left out all information concerning those women . Period. When your making up the biggest lie in history, you can write anything you want.
Men in those days wanted to subjugate women and this is the way they did it. You have 2000 yrs of women suffering and being treated as second class citizens as proof. Since Jesus and Mary magdela had a thing going on, they also had to cover that up. What better way then to cast her as a prostitute and say Jesus cast demons from her. What a load of crap.

Answer 2

Mostly likely that so little is written about what you call "Holy Mother" and "Mary Magdela" is that such was not directly linked to the message that God intended to be spread to further the message that was God's focal point - that Jesus is the Messiah, that He came to this earth as promised. That thru Jesus and Jesus alone is salvation found.

As to your points - there is no support for any such suggestions found within scripture. That doesn't mean that some haven't suggested such - just that it isn't found within scripture thus those suggestions are not biblically based.

The new testament is a covenant/contract based upon a previous covenant/contract for the salvation of all mankind that by accepting the terms of that covenant/contract is the way to salvation, relationship with God. A 'new' approach because all needed requirements to put into place were filled and made possible the est. of this new covenant/contract.

To better understand such, one is going to have to do study on what we call the 'old testament' to get a more complete understanding.

Answer 3

If you think about it, there is not alot written about the 12 apostles after Jesus's resurrection. There is some mention of their work in the book of Acts, and then that is about it. The authors of the epistles are mentioned and some prominent post resurrection christians are mentioned- some of them are women. If you look at the balance of the new testament, there are not many narrative accounts of the activities of individuals.

Mary was clearly special, set apart by God to bear the Christ, but I don't think she is as central to the christian life as some catholics believe. I think the fact that her life and work is not a major focus of the new testament, as you have noted, is evidence of this. The old testament does not prophetically describe her as a key figure in the redemption of humans by Christ. She is mentioned, but it is her virgin status that is the focus,not her spiritual role.

Bias against women is really not the reason Mary is not mentioned. A careful reading of the epistles will bear this out.

Answer 4

Women in general are marginalized in most religions. Until this last century most cultures treated women little different than prized livestock or slaves.
Men are not the protector of women, historically they are the oppressors of women, and they have used religious and other social factors to ensure our submission.
Jesus disciples and later the Catholic Church, the real author of the new testament, seem to have purposely omitted any of Jesus female disciple's stories. They were not important to the religious structure they were building and are now lost in the mists of time.

Answer 5

Food for thought indeed! And here's some more.

The role of Our Blessed Lady in Salvation is indeed significant, more significant than say, St Peter's, who gets a higher Scriptural word count that she does, but when her role is accomplished little more is said, because the Bible does not set out simply to tell stories, rather to tell the truths we need for salvation.

She was not called by God to preach or teach, or to be a priestess - hence, end of *scriptural* story, but by no means the whole story.

We can not, therefore, ignore her and say 'she did her bit so now forget her.' Instead we must call her 'blessed' as St Luke records all generations would, and honour her as her Divine Son wants, in a Christian way, without either exaggeration or dismissiveness.

Answer 6

In my opinion, i believe it might be because God wants all the attention on Jesus and the reason He lived and died and will come again. I recall even when Jesus himself told people to not give His own mother special treatment. For God almighty is First and Foremost. I myself sometimes hold a special wonder about Mary Magdeline, for she loved Jesus so much in her heart in spite of her/our sins. But i think also, by even having this discussion gives both Marys of the Bible quality through KOINONIA (fellowship)

Answer 7

Actually, it is probably because Mary was simply a vessel for Jesus human birth. Little is said of her because the focus is supposed to be on Christ. We are not to worship Mary nor to hold her above any other person.

Answer 8

For 2 reasons. 1.holy mother was'nt holy & 2. find 1 verse in the Bible that says that the Mary that kicked it with Jesus is Mary Magdelen.

Answer 9

Mary was a vessel God used to enter the earth and she was blessed to be the womb that carried the saviour of the world. What else did you want the Bible to write about her?
Jesus cast seven demons out of Mary of Magdala. What else do you want written about her?

Answer 10

They had served their purpose as faithful servants of God and that's all. Salvation comes from Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ ALONE. He does NOT share His Glory with anyone! Even the two Marys! BTW........Jesus is the ONLY human who has ever ascended into heaven and is our ONLY intercessor to God. This IS a Biblical fact. The rest of the saints are merely "alsleep" in the grave where their soul rests awaiting their resurrection at the second coming of Christ. Study the Bible............... Summary of Paul’s Teachings about women:• He writes of God’s design of men and women with gender-specific differences to equip
them for specialized roles as husbands and wives.
• He shows that God intended for husbands and wives to work together as a team in their
respective domains, reflecting the roles He introduced to Adam and Eve.
• He writes of authority that God vested in the man to be the leader in his marriage and
family.
• Paul shows that a wife is to bring honor to her husband by supporting his leadership and
using her talents to complement her husband’s abilities, as they work together to serve
God and care for their family.
• Paul instructs the spiritually mature women to teach and encourage younger women in
their feminine role. A wife’s role includes keeping the home and loving her husband.• Paul’s writings do not lend support to the radical, unbiblical revisions of women’s roles
advocated by the modern feminism movement or to male suppression of women in the
name of religion.
• Paul builds on the foundation of godly leadership established by Jesus Christ by
emphasizing mutual love and respect between husbands and wives, as each fulfills the
role God designed.
• Paul shows that the husband’s leadership role in marriage, which God established at
creation, also offers a norm for the male leadership roles in other areas of life, including
the Church.
• Paul taught that men should lead public worship and that women should not teach the
congregation in public worship.
• Paul’s letters speak of women praying and “prophesying,” but they offer no basis or
support for women preaching, pastoring or serving as elders.
• Paul’s writings reflect the fact that God regards men and women equal in spiritual
potential, and He treats them accordingly. One is not superior to the other. Both have
equal access to God and His promises.
We have shown that what Paul wrote about women has its unmistakable roots in Jesus’
instructions, as well as the rest of the Scriptures. Nothing in his writings contradicts or conflicts
with the timeless spiritual principles of the Bible from the beginning.
