“Child me considers himself to be a church-going, ministry-participating, Bible believing Christian while adult me considers himself to be unchurched, dechurched, and nonchurched. I read and study all religious texts.” - Antonio Myers “One looks at the Gospels without Attis-colored Pauline glasses, there are many, many hints that Jesus was married. Specifically, after the Crucifixion, the Gospels agree that it was Mary the Magdalene who went early Sunday morning to wash and anoint Jesus' crucified body (Mark 16:1). People have the quaint idea that ancient Jews in Jerusalem went around "anointing" each other. They didn't. What the Gospels are telling us is that Mary the Magdalene went to Jesus' tomb to prepare his body for burial. That's the Gospels, not me. Then and now, no woman would touch the naked body of a dead Rabbi, unless she was family. Jesus was whipped, beat and crucified. No woman would wash the blood and sweat off his private parts unless she was his wife.” - HuffPost. In other words, she (Mary Magdalene) is portrayed as the grieving widow. By the way, she was never a sex worker and never the woman caught in adultery…there’s no evidence to suggest those things. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support
