Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene

The most important aspect of the Bible to keep in mind is that it is a book that is a reflection on the theological and personal biases of the men who both compiled the stories and then radified the book. Any revisions to the Bible is meant to reflect upon the views of the different sects of Christianity at the time. It is also important to note that the Gosepls (representations of both God and Jesus's word) that make up the New Testament were written after the death of Christ. Because of this, the Gospels in the New Testament were simply written on second and third-hand heresay. The Bible is meant to conform to whatever interests certain religious factions were vested in and the idea of Jesus being married to Mary Magdalene conflicted with these interests. ^[2] While many critics have maintained that the Bible does not explicitly state that Jesus married Mary Magdalene, there is also no explicit mention of Jesus not being married in the final version of the Bible in 367 AD. There is evidence that Jesus did not preach celibacy, unlike the Catholic Church, and that many of his disciples were married; Matthew 19:4-5 also suggests that Christ was ultimately in favor of marriage. There is also the matter of Judaic customs during Biblical times. According to these customs, it was mandatory that an adult Jewish male be married. For Christ to have been an adult man at this time and be unmarried and celibate would have been seen as freakish and would have been widely condemned. Both his training and status as a rabbi in the Jewish community would have ensured that Jesus was married as the Jewish Mishanic law would have commanded it. ^[2] Mary Magdalene was one of Christ's most influential followers, though that role is considered controversial amongst the different branches. The Western Catholic Church considers Mary Magdalene as a former prostitute and has downplayed her role as one of Jesus's follwers, specifically how devout and influential she was. The Eastern Orthodox Church, however, honors Mary Magdalene in her role as a devoted follwer to her teacher. In fact, they consider her as an apostle to the apostles. The Gospel of John, for example, names her as the one that Jesus called on to tell his followers about his resurection. The Gospel of Luke also names her as being closely involved with the ministry and following Christ from village to village. ^[3]
