Bible Question: who was Mary Magdalene why is rumors of her and Jesus relationship an intimate one |
Bible Answer: LSmith, Pastor Glenn gave you what is known Biblically about Mary Magdalene. Again, there is nothing from scripture that supports this view. These specific rumors have been given an enormous amount of credence through the fictional bestseller, The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. His use of discredited sources is amazing. To quote from "Cracking the Da Vinci Code", By James Garlow and Peter Jones, "There is no credible historical record that Jesus was married. None. We will not even enter the debate as to whether Jesus was married or not. This is simply, from a biblical and historical perspective,, a non-issue, despite even the patently false supposition the Jews in Jesus' time were somehow forbidden to remain unmarried." I hope this helps, BradK |
