It's hard to know, and I speak with my caveat that faith is not certainty so much as it is acting-as-if in great hope.<br /><br />I agree that in her day, Mary Magdalene was seen as what we might call a camp-follower, certainly not as a respectable woman.June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174812066017196444.post-449384334348363692012-04-08T11:18:34.026-05:002012-04-08T11:18:34.026-05:00The gospels (pedantic one that I am) are intention...The gospels (pedantic one that I am) are intentionally unclear about the "Body" of Jesus after the Resurrection. The stories grow more complex as the gospels get newer. Start with Mark, work your way up to John through Matthew and Luke, and it's unclear if Jesus as a body or what kind of body Jesus has. John is concerned to show Jesus is not a ghost, so he eats, and Thomas touches the wounds in his hands. But in Luke they don't recognize Jesus until a gesture, something familiar in the way he eats, reveals him; and then he disappears. Bodily? A la David Copperfield (the magician)?<br /><br />Hard to know.<br /><br />Anyway, as for Mary Magdalene=prostitute, basically any woman in the company of men (married or unmarried)=a prostitute in the time of Jesus (and in many ancient cultures in that part of the world to this good day). We are the ones who keep designating "sleeps with men for money" from "it's okay, they're just friends." There was no such distinction in Jesus' day; except by Jesus.<br /><br />Pedantically yours for a blessed Easter,Rmjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811456254443706479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174812066017196444.post-53501370188306626602012-04-08T09:10:28.777-05:002012-04-08T09:10:28.777-05:00Blessings back to you, dear margaret and David.Blessings back to you, dear margaret and David.June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174812066017196444.post-65158483675503174442012-04-08T06:11:44.814-05:002012-04-08T06:11:44.814-05:00Alleluia!
