Comments on: Was Mary Magdalene Wife of Jesus?

I certainly hope you don’t upload this, since there are errors in your discourse. “Hey Zeus” as you put it is not correct at all, since the Hispanic reference is to the single word “Jesus” and is merely a pronunciation issue on which your imagination went wild; the word “Jesus” has nothing to do with Greek Mythology!

Who knows where you got the term “Barn Abba”; did you mean “Bar Abba?” Even if you meant Bar Abba, it has no written reference in the Bible whatsoever!

As for Mary the Mother of Jesus, her title of Apostle to the Apostles was given just recently by the pope in 2016 and was given to elevate womanhood to a new understanding significant only to the current culture and time. Given by man and not by God or Christ.

Did the pope state that as part of this title, she had to be married to Jesus, or is this more of your imagination, imposing properties on ancient times that were imposed by your pope in 2016. If you included any of this in your dissertation, you had a lot of stories to make up along the way.

According to my thesis project Mary Magdalene: her image and relationship to Jesus. Mary of Magdala was conflated with Mary the Mother of Jesus until the 12th century. As the Apostle to the Apostles she would have written letters under the name of Paul. She would have been married to the Barn Abba called Hay Zeus by hispanics…Fantastic as this may seem, Zeus was the Thunder God, the Father of the God Apollo incarnating in the person and the city of Alexander. And Acts 18:5 and Acts 18:28 have Paul and Apollo born in Alexander proving Jesus Christ. There is more to the story of course. I explain this more fully on this recently uploaded YouTube video broadcast by the Orthodox Academy of Crete.

Don’t be asinine, Janet. The very first line starts “There is a very old tradition…” Look up “tradition” in a dictionary. A person does not HAVE to have been at the location when it starts to learn about it. Here in these United States we have a holiday called “Thanksgiving”. The purported start was in 1621, though it was only observed sporadically until President Lincoln called for a National Day of Thanksgiving in 1863. In 1942 President Roosevelt fixed the date as the 4th Thursday in November. Now no one currently alive was around to witness whether or not the 1621 Thanksgiving actually occurred, but it is a TRADITION that it did and thus we have a TRADITIONAL holiday whether we believe the tradition or not. The post to which you replied, was just telling about a TRADITION handed down for 2,000 years in what is now Ethiopia.

They had no children, despite what the “Holy Grail” and Merovingian cult claim.

Her wealth may of even financed Jesus’s ministry The Scriptures have demonized women frequently and bad-mouthing Mary was/is common. I can be open minded enough to think she could of married Jesus–why not? I believe the church wants to keep the image of Jesus unblemished as to give the appearance of Him of abstinence and purity. I see no “down-side” to Mary and Jesus being married or even possibly having children. Rumours of Mary having a daughter, Sarah after the Crucifixion circulate. Mary is a symbol of the divine feminine and an example of female strength and inspiration for women everywhere!
