“...Mary Magdalene ... Any reports of her being a prostitute are untrue. There’s no indication of that from Scripture.”
Thank you for pointing that out! Where do people come up with this stuff?
Just like there were three wise men who visited “Baby” Jesus. Jesus wasn’t a baby by the time they got there.
There could’ve been two wise men, or 50. The Bible doesn’t say. Just “men” plural.
And the three wise men’s names... fiction. Not in the Bible.
There are so many fabrications
Adam ate fruit, not necessarily an apple.
But most of the fabrications revolve around Mary, and many around Jesus.
Yes, our ‘modern’ Christmas has mashed the beginnings of Jesus’ life on earth into a flamboyant mixture of light and sound that compresses early events (and imaginations) into one happening.
