Mary Magdalene Wasn't A Prostitute.
Mary Magdalene was supposedly a prostitute. But i believe that she was Jesus' wife and they had a kid. The Vatican covered it up because they don't want people associating Jesus' with a woman and they want people to think he is pure. I read a book on it and it makes sense to me. What do you think?

It wasn't the norm in Jesus' time for Jewish rabbis to remain celibate. In fact, that would have been truly exceptional. We tend to forget the Jewishness of Jesus and see him as the start of something new.

Two major possibilities suggest themselves : Either Jesus was gay, or he indulged himself sexually without going through the ceremonies of marriage. We know that Jesus and his followers used cannabis extensively. This is what gave rise to their thoughts about peace and love. Essentially, they were the hippies of the day. Most likely then, they also practiced free love with Mary Magdalene bestowing sexual favours on both Jesus and all of his apostles. She probably made herself available as a sexual utensil for them to take advantage of. This may well have resulted in children. But, because of her promiscuous habits, it would have been very difficult to tell who was the real father of the child.

Paul, when he was cobbling together what we now perceive as the christian religion, probably realised that the whole free love thing would look unseemly and the potential squabbles over the authenticity of any descendants or potential descendants of Jesus could get very ugly very quickly. Most likely he just rewrote the record to brand Mary Magdalene a prostitute and tried to excise that part of the history. It wouldn't surprise me if he tried to arrange the assassination of any of Magdalene's children or descdendants too, whether successfully or not, who can say?

 "In fact, that would have been truly exceptional." Jesus was truly exceptional. And there were multiple sects of Judaism; some had celibate rabbis, and some allowed the rabbis to get married. It's not completely preposterous for Jesus to be celibate.

There are no grounds for your claims. You make assumptions with no background for them. "Two major possibilities suggest themselves." How do those possibilities suggest themselves? It would be nice if you used at least some type of evidence to support yourself, although I don't believe such evidence exists that would actually convince anyone.

We do not know that Jesus and his followers used cannabis extensively. Where did you hear that? You associate this "peace and love" culture with hippies in America with a poor logical format. You claim: (Premise 1) Anyone who preaches love and peace is a hippie. (Premise 2) Hippies practiced free love. (Conclusion) Therefore, anyone who preaches love and peace also practices free love. This is obviously a false statement, as there are billions of people who like love and peace yet do not practice free love. Why should your poor assumptions apply to Jesus and not to the rest of the world?

Women who dislike another, better woman, always calls the other one who is disliked, a prostitute.
Words, are just a means for females to stab another woman to take her out of the herd, to make it easier on the uglier female to glean some making rights.....

What was the book called? Sounds like fiction.
I go by the Bible version and have faith, that is is an accurate account.
I hear lots of people explain how Jesus didn't exist and others come up with these sort of accounts.
If Jesus existed and he was married then they did a terrific job of covering it up.

This is sort of stupid. She was a prostitute, but she was never Jesus' wife and she surely did not have a kid with him. She was a prostitute and probably did have kids with different men, but not with Jesus. Jesus did not have any kids and if he did, it would never be covered up. His kids would be the princes and princesses of the world, and it is not right to cover up or hide anything related to Jesus. Above all, Jesus would never lie. So, hiding any children would be like lying. As a fellow Christian, I can't believe you would even think that Jesus would cover up and hide something like children. The Catholic Church cannot hide things. You probably just read something fiction that is endorsed by the Catholic church and the Vatican.
