Is Mary Magdalene a Prostitute?

Having confuse of what is true about Mary Magdalene.....from the movie "The Da Vinci Code" 😕

No.

Nobody knows who Mary Magdalene was; there is very little said about her in the Bible. Early tradition associated her with the woman who anointed Jesus' feet, which is where the prostitute tradition comes from, but it is extra-Biblical.

If you are going by the Da Vinci Code, there are like 60 or 70 accounts of Christ other then just the four gospels, and the Catholic Church removed them.

If it is true, I'd like to see the other accounts. Does anybody have access to them? (Assuming Dan Brown was correct, of course)

She won awards for her 1337 buttsecks

Don't.

Still, there were many texts that never made it into the canon. Saying that the Catholic Church "removed them" is a little erroneous, because the Catholic Church never included them in their canon in the first place. As for reading these noncanonical books, a lot of them are online. Here are links to a few.

The Gospel of Mary Magdalene

The Hypostasis of the Archons (a Gnostic text; less clearly "Christian" than my other links)

The Gospel of Thomas, probably the most famous noncanonical text
The Infancy Gospel of Thomas (unrelated to the Gospel of Thomas; stories of Jesus as a child

The recently discovered Gospel of Judas

The Acts of Paul

A list of documents, with information on each; many of the links include the text of the document

Mary Magdalene is nowhere described as a prostitute in the New Testament. The popular image of Mary comes from confusion between her and two other women: Martha’ s sister Mary and an unnamed sinner in Luke’ s gospel. Both of these women wash Jesus’ feet with their hair. Pope Gregory the Great declared that all three women were the same person and it wouldn' t have been until 1969 that the Catholic Church reversed course.

part of the smeer campaign of the catholi church to depower women and take them out of positions of power. no reason to beleive she was a prostitute.

Besides, The Davinci Code is fiction. Even Dan Brown claims as much. Taking religious and historical theories from a work of fiction, however commercially successful, is never a good thing.

But you aren't the only ones. That church is the book/movie where the tomb was purportedly buried got swamped with tourists demanding to see the stuff that is in the book....without realizing that the church actually exists, but everything else was simply made up.

She wasn't born, nor was Jesus. 🙂

Very true. He was immaculately conceived by God in Mary's womb. Not born.

Mary Magdalene only means , Mary from the town she was from, Magdala. The Bible is unclear as to all the Marys' and their role.

Probably. But for a Biblical pun that good, it would be worth it.
