"Christian Women": Do you find the Gospel of Mary Magdalene more reasonable/attractive than Paul's Epistles?

Question

The Gospel of Mary talks of Mary Magdalene being the most loved disciple of Jesus and the one he trusted most. Mary talks with the other disciples as an equal, and the other male disciples encourage her when Peter speaks out against her because of her gender.

On the other hand, Paul's Epistles speak of women being subservient to their husbands, quiet and obedient. It is true that Paul also tells husbands to take care of their wives, but nowhere does the thought of divorce enter his head. No matter how bad a husband got, his wife was expected to be respectful and obedient.

I have pointed out Paul's shortcomings when it comes to women in previous questions. But I've not asked about the Gospel of Mary.

But when I read it, I think how much it helps to complete the picture of Jesus the Man. He wasn't a momma's boy. He was a Man. He loved Mary as a Man loves a Woman.

What are your thoughts on the Gospel of Mary vs. the Pauline Epistles?

Answer 1

SORRY....but I have decided NOT too
answer anymore of your questions...
mostly because there is always that
hidden meaning...(kisses)

Answer 2

I have not have been given any thought if Mary Magdalene became a prostitute or no longer, yet i think that she wasn't. i think that there have been many women persons who have been component to the folk who frolicked around around Jesus as a results of fact they have been drawn to his air of secret and what he had to declare, and, admittedly, the background of maximum prepared religions and different areas of our way of existence has come down with a desperate male bias. while a question starts off with something like "Do Christians..." it style of feels to intend that all and sundry Christians could desire to have self belief a similar issues, and that basically isn't genuine. Do all Democrats or Republicans or soccer followers or the different team all have self belief a similar ingredient? No.

Answer 3

My thoughts on this, is that your lunacy is self perpetuating. But don't frown.........God still loves lunatics anyway!
