Short Study of Jesus and Mary Magdalene The gist of the fictional novel The Da Vinci Code is that Mary Magdalene was the wife of Jesus. Of course, we may never know the truth of that assumption. Throughout the centuries any literature portraying Jesus differently from the canonized version of the Judeo-Christian Bible has been systematically destroyed or suppressed. However, there have been fairly recent discoveries of ancient manuscripts that whet our appetite; namely writings from the Gnostics. Writings such as The Gospel of Thomas, Pistis Sophia, The Gospel of the Egyptians, and The Gospel of Mary portray quite a different atmosphere than the canonized books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. In this short study it is not our intention to compare these books. Instead, it is our intention to ask some simple questions and ponder the answers. If indeed, Da Vinci believed that there was a connection between Jesus and Mary Magdalene (or an unnamed woman), why does the religious system find this so appalling or impossible? The following quotes are from "Fathers" of the religious system that we have inherited today. These men are venerated in some circles and this is their uptake on women...
Appalling as these quotes are, their very essence has pervaded the religious system. Eve and the apple are a constant joke; but the underlying current that survives is that the misery of humanity can be laid at the door of the woman. She is the first-cause. When viewed in this manner it is understandable that the religious system would reject any connection of Jesus to a relationship as intimate as marriage. There has been a paradigm shift in recent years, however, that accepts the fact that female disciples held positions of authority in the early church. Fundamental mainline religions are fighting this tooth and nail because acceptance of this would allow women into the governmental structure. Decisions would be made with the input of the feminine energy or perspective; quite different from masculine energy. Decision making would become a cooperation of the two energies. As slow as the process may be, accepting women into heretofore forbidden areas is now a given. But accepting that Jesus may have been married is not. Let's look at why this is so. Marriage indicates physical intimacy between the masculine and the feminine. Anything reeking of a sexual nature is completely taboo where Jesus is concerned. He was born of a virgin and he is married to the church in spirit. Any physical union with a physical woman is just not possible, and, of course, this has to be true when woman is viewed as the first-cause of suffering. In the Judeo-Christian Bible she is "unclean" if she is menstruating, she is the temptress that caused the fall of humanity, she is the property of her husband to be governed totally by him. There is a set of rules for men and a set of rules for women; with women being treated as "second class citizens." Rabbis would actually pray and thank God that they were not "born a woman." It does not take a genius to perceive that there is something wrong with this picture. With this viewpoint it is easy to understand why any notion of Jesus being married is rejected. For him, who is perfection personified, to have an intimate relationship with such a wanton and fallen creature as a woman, would raise her status and shake the unjust balance of male dominance. In summary, let us ask this question. Would Jesus be less Divine if he had a wife? If the answer is yes, then the deduction is that he is tainted by the woman. She would have the power to make him "not Divine." If the answer is no, then the deduction is that he embraced his humanity, had an intimate relationship with a woman, perhaps fathered children, and restored woman to her rightful place as co-creator. Jesus was a new breed. When he taught he refuted the traditions passed from generation to generation by proclaiming, "You have heard..., but I say..." |
