,was Mary Magdalen..the apostle to the apostles?

Answer 1

I think she was similar to the apostles and possible one of Jesus's strongest supporter.

Answer 2

No, there were only 12 apostles. She might have been a disciple, though.

And actually, Judas' place was taken by Matthias, who was chosen by lot (Acts 1:26), not Paul. Furthermore, it is very unlikely that Paul was with the apostles from the time of the baptism of John (which was a prerequisite for replacing Judas, Acts 1:21-22) and if this is so, he would not have qualifed to take Judas' place.

Answer 3

No.
Mary Magdalene was a woman from whom Jesus cast out seven demons (Luke 8:2). The name Magdalene likely indicates that she came from Magdala, a city on the southwest coast of the Sea of Galilee. After Jesus cast seven demons from her, she became one of His followers.

Mary Magdalene has been associated with the "woman in the city who was a sinner" (Luke 7:37) who washed Jesus' feet, but there is no scriptural basis for this. The city of Magdala did have a reputation for prostitution. This information, coupled with the fact that Luke first mentions Mary Magdalene immediately following his account of the sinful woman (Luke 7:36-50), has led some to equate the two women. John 11:2, though, identifies the women in Luke 7:36-50 as Mary of Bethany, not Mary Magdalene.

Mary Magdalene is also often associated with the woman whom Jesus saved from stoning after she had been taken in adultery (John 8:1-11) - again an association with no evidence. The movie “The Passion of the Christ” made this connection. This view is possible, but not explicitly taught in the Bible.

Mary Magdalene witnessed most of the events surrounding the crucifixion. She was present at the mock trial of Jesus; she heard Pontius Pilate pronounce the death sentence; and she saw Jesus beaten and humiliated by the crowd. She was one of the women who stood near Jesus during the crucifixion to try to comfort Him. The earliest witness to the resurrection of Jesus, she was sent by Jesus to tell the others (John 20:11-18). Although this is the last mention of her in the Bible, she was probably among the women who gathered with the apostles to await the promised coming of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:14).

Answer 4

No this would have been Peter although Mary did show great faith and helped the Apostles in various ways.

Answer 5

She was certainly a central and pivitol object in the physical manifestation of the philosophy of life Jesus was trying to impart.

She generated controversy, instead of clarity. Man is still, obviously, sinful. If man were not sinful he would have seen things clearly.

Jesus was speaking and NO one was truly listening.

Jesus asked the head Pharasee, during a Sabbath dinner, is it WRONG to heal someone on the Sabbath day?

The Pharasee could not give him an answer, so Jesus healed a man who came to the door.

Jesus was trying to bring CLARITY to the world, but MAN, in his inimitable ways, only generated confusion and controversy over what Jesus was trying to show us.

God keeps trying to save a lame animal from his own self-generated lameness and the lame cling to their self-inflicted crutches and wheel chairs with total religious CONVICTION.

The blind leading the deaf and dumb.

Man takes being crippled to a high art form, just because!

Answer 6

She certainly was held dear by Our Lord and His Apostles.

an apostle was hand picked by Jesus . . . there were only 12 . . . when Judas betrayed Jesus . . . Jesus hand picked Paul as his replacement.

No.
