Peaches, they wanted her to be observed more as a witness to his resurrection and having a whore witness the resurrection lessened her credibility.   People don’t trust whores.

Again, her story is in the Bible.  That damn Bible

The Bible is not literally word for word inerrant or reliable.  Modern scholarship suggests that Mary was from Magdala (hence the"Magdalene" which was not her name) and the daughter of people from the Essene community.  She didn't need to "work" in that sense because she had family money.  Not all of her "story" is in the bible by a long shot.

As an example, look at Rahab in the book of Joshua.  She was obviously smart, crafty and an unmarried householder.  Does the author of Joshua ever write her name in any way at all other than "Rahab the harlot?"

So the people who wrote the Bible exaggerated her story... I’m not sure this is helping the bible thumping cause

Well, it wasn't a committee.

Aside from the council of bishops Constantine convened in 327 and locked them in a gymnasium telling them "you get fed when you come up with One Book, One Story, and One Church that I can use politically, of course...THAT was a committee.  But nearly every book in there was written by different people, some of the books were pretty old, and even by then those books had been reproduced by many generations of COPYISTS who often had editorial agendas.

And after they agreed on 65 of the 66 books, many more centuries passed with sometimes massive editing.  Plus, a lot of the OT and even some of the Gospel material had been kicking around as oral tradition for quite a while before it ever got written down.

Deep breaths...

So you’re telling me that a story from the Bible wasn’t true?  This is why I don’t rely on it for fact... however, what other job would an unwed woman of that age had at the time to support herself?

I did enjoy many of the lessons the Bible taught me when I was growing up... my favorite stories, like Fishes & Loaves for instance, is one I use as spiritual guidance daily.

 Was Mary Magdalene a prostitute?

Many people are most surprised to learn that nowhere in the Bible is Mary Magdalene described as a prostitute. Her reputation as a reformed prostitute has no explicit biblical support, but it does have church support. Pope Gregory I (d. 604) gave legs to this misinterpretation by delivering a sermon that equated both Mary of Bethany and the anonymous hair-washing sinner woman (Luke 7:36-50) with Mary Magdalene. This portrait also absorbed the story of the unnamed woman caught in adultery (John 7:53-8:11), the combination making the popular image of Mary Magdalene quite different from the biblical depictions.

Dont say I never helped ya.

325...and the canonical books were not chosen at Nicaea!  It was about Arianism and trying to set a uniform date for celebrating Easter.  Good book on the topic....

This is a good visual for when Mary  anointed Jesus feet and Judas's angry rebuke calling her a whore.
