2 | Mary Magdeline, facts on lifestyle | Luke 8:2 | gmsmith101 | 4171 | ||
The idea that Mary of Magdala was a prostitute has no Biblical support whatsoever. She was simply a woman from Magdala. She may even have been a woman of financial means, because Luke 8:2-3 says that Mary, Joanna and Susanna were contributors to their support out of their private means. Jesus had driven 7 demons out of M.M. and she became a devoted follower, even to the cross and after the resurrection. There is no reason to think she was of ill repute. |
