Like I said I am done with this topic.
I am not going to reply to this topic anymore.
Like I told you time before last, you've said that before, but since I'm not done with this topic, I replied to other remarks that you made. You chose to reply to me, and since I'm still not done with this topic, these are my replies to you. If you don't want to engage on this topic, then you shouldn't reply, but I do want to, so I will leave you with the following, in case you decide to re-engage.
Flying saucers are not mentioned in the Bible.....so why is it not true that Yeshua ascended to the Father in a flying saucer. No way to verify that a revelation is true.
It's a
fact that Scripture doesn't consist of all there is to know, much less all the details surrounding what
is known in Scripture, and thus there are truths not mentioned in Scripture. So, since true revelations from God that
are not mentioned in Scripture, some of which pertain to what
is mentioned in Scripture, exist as well, do you
really think that God can't make His revelations verifiable? If so, why?
And again none of the scriptures you posted point to Mary.
Nothing in her character that would suggest that she is the prostitute.
It's important to note that there are personal gestures, which are repeated and are peculiar to a person like the person’s style. They are unmistakable gestures. The following are two
distinct scenes where the woman in each scene honored Jesus by means of the
same gesture.
- The Repentant Woman in the House of Simon the Pharisee
"A woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house,
brought an alabaster jar of ointment. Standing behind at his feet weeping, she began to
wet his feet with her tears, and she wiped them with the hair of her head, kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment." (
Lk. 7:36-50)
"Then six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him. Therefore
Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and
anointed Jesus’s feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment." (
Jn. 12:1-3)
"While he was at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table,
a woman came having an alabaster jar of ointment of pure nard—very costly.
She broke the jar, and poured it over his head." "Most certainly I tell you,
wherever this Good News may be preached throughout the whole world,
that which this woman has done will also be spoken of for a memorial of her.” (
Mk. 14:3;
9)
"Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
a woman came to him having an alabaster jar of very expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.' "Most certainly I tell you,
wherever this Good News is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of as a memorial of her.” (
Matt. 26:6-7;
13)
Based on the Evangelist accounts above, can you still
really reasonably say that Mary Magdalene—a woman
healed by Jesus from seven demons, and who, by your own admission, became the
second-greatest woman disciple—and the repentant woman in the house of Simon the Pharisee and Mary of Bethany—both of whom were well-known sinners, and honored Jesus by means of the same gesture using their hair, with the gesture made in Bethany being
memorialized by Jesus—couldn't have been the same woman?
Additionally, based on the account of Maria Valtorta, another true spokesperson of God, she confirms that Mary Magdalene, the repentant woman in the house of Simon the Pharisee, and Mary, the sister of Lazarus and Martha of Bethany, were the same person. Their father, Theophilus, a Syrian, was the governor of Antioch, and faithful servant of Caesar, and their mother was Eucheria. Mary was a well-known prostitute, even among the Romans in Israel, and thus the disgrace of her family. By extension, her family was affected. They couldn't go among people without having to put up with their mockery, including from the Pharisees and scribes, and Martha never married, because no one married the sister of a prostitute. Mary's conversion was a process, rather than an event. I
highly recommend reading
A Summa and Encyclopedia to Maria Valtorta's Extraordinary Work, especially the chapters on the proofs, and
The Story of Mary Magdalene (extracts from
The Poem of the Man-God).
God Bless and Be Good and Do Good.
My thanks to you and likewise.
