If it was so that it was lets say proven for the sake of argument that Jesus was infact married to Mary Magdalene would that in any way actually change your faith ?

No. The entire proposition is based on the flimsiest of "evidence," but still, no.

No, but, why would Our Lord Be Married to St. Mary Magdalene or any other woman, Knowing He was Going to Be Crucified, & leave her a widow? Also, when did Our Lord even Have time for a family life, when you consider that His Public Ministry took up 100% of His His Life, after He Became Baptized? (In fact, after He Became Baptized, & Began His Own Ministry, Our Lord never even Had a Personal Residence.) |

I just wondered if it was the case that it would change how people believed. And if it does change than their faith can`t have been very strong anyway. |

It would depend on if Jesus lied.
I would also have a difficult time understanding the coverup or the reason.

klsThat's because he wasn't. Generally speaking, it appeared that Jesus was both too busy and too preoccupied with the ministry to concern himself with marriage. I never quite got why Mary Magdalene was a candidate for marriage anyway. The better options would be Martha or Mary, the sisters of Lazarus.

I just wondered if it was the case that it would change how people believed. And if it does change than their faith can`t have been very strong anyway. And like I said in my previous post, it wouldn't change my faith. But, the idea that He was Married to St. Mary Magdalene (in the common sense of the word) or any other woman, it would raise the afore-mentioned questions. BTW, to explain what I said in brackets: In a way, St. Mary Magdalene & several Our Lord's other female disciples were His brides, but, not like how we know it, but, through His Passion, they became Married to Him. Just as the priesthood had become institutionalized at the Last Supper, the women's Religious, such as nuns, etc., became institutionalized during the Via Dolorosa, when the women ministered to Our Lord, as He Carried His Cross. |

Martha & Lazarus & St. Mary Magdalene were one & the same person. That's probably how St. Mary Magdalene got her reputation for being a prostitute: Because in St. John's Gospel, Mary, the sister of Sts. Martha & Lazarus was the one who poured expensive perfume on Our Lord's Feet. |

Why would that make Lazarus' sister, Mary, a hooker?

That was two separate events. The sinful woman anointing Jesus was near the beginning of his ministry, and Mary anointing Jesus was near the end. Luke is the only gospel to include the account of the sinful woman. Matthew and Mark, despite not naming the woman, record the same account as John. |
