Was There A Relationship Between Jesus And Mary Magdalene? by Ericardo7(m): 4:54pm On Feb 05, 2015
The Jesus-Magdalene union has been explored ad nauseum by many modern historians. Mary Magdalene traveled with Jesus as one of His followers. She was present at His two most important moments: the crucifixion and the resurrection. Within the four Gospels she is named at least 12 times, more than most of the apostles. Historians view the Gospel references as describing her as courageous, brave enough to stand by Jesus in His hours of suffering, death and beyond.
The Gospels of Mark says that Jesus had cast 7 demons out of her (Mark 16:9). Note that these "demons" may refer to a complex illness, not any form of sinfulness.

In the Gnostic Gospels, copies of the Nag Hammadi and Dead Sea scrolls contain certain stories that prove there was a relationship between them. According to their Gospel of Philip "...and the [bold] companion [/bold] of the saviour is Mary Magdalene. Christ loved her more than all the disciples and used to kiss her on the mouth." The word you should take not of here is "COMPANION ". As any Aramaic scholar will tell you, the word 'companion' in those days literally meant SPOUSE.

Mary Magdalene is claimed by many historians to be of royal descent, The House of Benjamin, to be precise. It only makes sense that Christ who also had royal blood (from The House of David) would consort with someone who also had royal blood, as it is in almost all traditions and customs.

Historians also speak of a highly explosive manuscript known as "The Magdalene Diaries"- Mary Magdalene's personal account of her relationship with Christ, His crucifixion and her time in France.

Also is the fact that Jesus was a rabbi. According to Hebrew customs, for one to be a rabbI and lead a congregation, he was to be qualified as well as married. This was to enable him lead his congregation with the assistance of his wife as well make the man a role model for the members of the congregation to emulate. From this, it means Jesus could have never been a rabbi without having to be married, and which other person was to be his wife than Mary Magdalene.

Another instance that supports this claim is the event of Christ's resurrection morning. The Bible tells us that Mary Magdalene and other women to the grave of Christ to anoint His body. This was right given only to the wife of the deceased according to Hebrew customs. This means that Mary Magdalene would only have the power to anoint the naked body of Jesus Christ only if she was his wife. Startling truth, right? Yes I felt the same way when I stumbled upon this fact during my research. If there was one person who had the right to anoint the body of Christ, that would be His wife, and who else would fit the position but Mary Magdalene.

Lastly, is one incontestable fact. Christ's first appearance.
When Jesus died and resurrected, Mary Magdalene was the first person He appeared to. Now let's apply common sense here again. If you were in Jesus' shoes, who would you appear to first? Your wife or girlfriend right? Of course. I'd do exactly the same. After defeating death and claiming the keys to he'll, I bet Jesus must have been so happy to finally appear to the people He loved the most. Starting with the number one in the pecking order. He didn't choose Peter, His right hand man, He didn't choose John whom He loved the most among His disciples, He didn't choose His own mother. No. Instead He choose Mary Magdalene! If nothing else has convinced you there was something extra between them, this should. Jesus chose to appear to the person He must have loved the most above all. Mary Magdalene must have held a special reverence with Our Lord and Saviour. She must have been His number one.

CONCLUSION
● It is clear from the Gospels that Mary Magdalene
had a great love for Jesus. She had been freed by him
from possession by seven devils, had followed him as
a disciple, ministering to him from her means (Luke
8:2-3), and had been with Mary, the Mother of Jesus
and the other women when Jesus was crucified
(Mark 15:40-41). She was, according to the Gospels,
the first person to whom Jesus appeared after the
resurrection, after searching for him tearfully (John
20:11-18). Hence the veneration which the Church
has had for her as a witness to the risen Christ.
FROM THE EVIDENCES ABOVE, IT SHOWS THEY MUST HAVE HAD SOMETHING MORE THAN A MASTER-FOLLOWER RELATIONSHIP.
IF INDEED THEY WERE LOVERS OR HUSBAND AND WIFE WE MAY ACTUALLY NEVER KNOW FOR SURE AS WE DO NO HAVE PHYSICAL ACCESS EITHER OF THEM...

I HOPE THIS PIECE HAS ENLIGHTENED A LOT OF US ESPECIALLY CHRISTIANS...
SHALLOM!

To me, other than the proposition of a large v shape in between Jesus and the person on his right in the painting of the last supper, all Dan browns (and also all other researchers) writings towards this issue has strong and valid points that proves possibilities if not exposes the truth itself.

Some quotes from the Gospel of Mary First discovered in 1896.
Peter said to Mary, " Sister we know that the Savior loved you more than the rest of woman. Tell us the words of the Savior which you remember which you know, but we do not, nor have we heard them".


Did Jesus love Mary more than his disciples? well this quote seem to suggest such, which means Mary was no ordinary woman to him.
Mary is then confronted by Andrew and Peter, who do not take for granted what she says, because she is a woman:

"Did he then speak secretly with a woman, in preference to us, and not openly? Are we to turn back and all listen to her? Did he prefer her to us?"
Also
Mary is defended by Levi:

"But if the Savior made her worthy, who are you to reject her? Surely the Savior knew her very well. For this reason he loved her more than us".
So yes! there was obviously a relationship between Jesus and Mary Madelene.

Re: Was There A Relationship Between Jesus And Mary Magdalene? by Ericardo7(m): 6:02pm On Feb 08, 2015
to all those that say the bible never said they had a relationship.....Remember that the bible we are using had a huge part of it destroyed by the emperor constatine who felt they posed a threat to the type of christian church (catholic church) which he wanted to build. There's a lot that would have benefited from that were destroyed. And though some were recovered or hidden, they were not added to the bible we use today. The truth about so many things were hidden from us. Do your research and be enlightened. Stop talking trash when you have no knowledge whatsoever about the topic.
