Mary Magdalene was constantly with Jesus all throughout his ministry. If she wasn’t actually married to him she was most likely either his lover or a very close companion at the least. She was constantly with his family. Jesus loved her brother and sister. The disciples called her his companion and said that he even kissed her on the [...] frequently.

What most Christians will disagree with me on is that it is very possible that Jesus had children with her. If Jesus were not God and a man just as any other, what would keep him from marrying, having sex and children like any other normal man?

Here is the reasoning behind this. Was Isaiah 53 about Jesus or not? Now I’m not saying that it is about Jesus, but most Christians believe that it is. If it was, then according to the prophecy, Jesus had descendants. What is even stranger is that how is it that if Jesus were God as they claim he is, then how is it that an eternal God has to prolong his own days? Either this passage is not about Jesus, or Jesus was not God.

Isa 53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

What’s more is that if Isaiah 53 was about Jesus, then his days were “prolonged”. Does that mean that he wasn’t crucified? Or does that mean that Jesus lived longer than only 33 years that theologians tell us. According to the Gospel of the Nararenes he lived to nearly 50 years old. That was plently of time to have had a family and children.

The word “seed” in the phase, “he shall see his SEED“, translated literally means “offspring”. If Isa 53 is actually about Jesus, then he actually had physical children. If he had children then he had a wife. If he had a wife, then that means that he is not God.

In order to get by this, I suppose Christian theologians and apologists will say that the word “seed” is referring to spiritual children. Well, it doesn’t really say this or even infer that the children are spiritual offspring though. Now, how is it that Jesus’ days are prolonged? If Jesus were God and God is eternal, how is it that God’s days are prolonged? There is no sense or logic to that interpretation.

There is something very unclear about all of this, and so much so, that it has to be interpreted. Whenever something has to be interpreted to be understood, there are frequently many different interpretations of it. And who is to say whose interpretation is correct? The incredible part about this is that Christians make it an absolute requirement that you believe their interpretation of this in order for one to even be saved! If you happen to believe the wrong interpretation about Jesus, then according to them, your soul is lost for eternity and there is no second chance, but you are destined to eternal, unrelenting torment in a fiery Hell! (some loving, forgiving and ever-merciful God they have!)

The Jews, who are the origin of the book of Isaiah, say this is not even about Jesus, but the nation of Israel, and they make a very compelling argument in favor of it. Then there are the Christians who claim that this is a prophecy about Jesus proving that he is the prophesied Messiah and that the Jews are wrong because they reject their own Messiah.

Either way it is interpreted this is what we get: either Jesus was not the Messiah and thus not God, or Jesus was the Messiah and was not God since he had offspring, since God is not a man (especially since the messiah had to be a descendant of king Solomon, which Jesus was… through Joseph).

Either way, Jesus was not God, but only a man, thus he could have had a wife and also children.

Mary Magdalene the companion of Jesus

There were three who always walked with the Lord: Mary, his mother, and her sister, and Magdalene, the one who was called his companion. His sister and his mother and his companion were each a Mary. (Gospel of Philip)

Mary Magdalene kissed by Jesus

As for the Wisdom who is called “the barren,” she is the mother of the angels. And the companion of the [...] Mary Magdalene. [...] loved her more than all the disciples, and used to kiss her often on her [...]. The rest of the disciples [...]. They said to him “Why do you love her more than all of us?” The Savior answered and said to them,”Why do I not love you like her? (Gospel of Philip)

It’s funny how just the key parts are missing from this fragment. But in the context it is obvious that Mary Magdalene was Jesus’ companion, he loved her in a different way than he loved the other disciples, and he kissed her often (we can only guess that it said mouth if she were his companion).

Mary Magalene loved more than the other disciples

5:5 Peter said to Mary, Sister we know that the Savior loved you more than the rest of woman. (Gospel of Mary Magalene)

Here it is clear that Jesus’ loved Mary Magdalene in a special way, much different than he loved any other women. It sounds very strongly that Jesus was in love with her.

Mary Magdalene as Jesus bride compared to his church

65:10 Again I say to you, I and My Bride are one, even as Mary Magdalene, whom I have chosen and sanctified as a type, is one with Me; I and my Congregation are One. And the Congregation is the elect of humanity for the rebirth of all. (Gospel of the Nazarenes)

Here Jesus compares Mary to his bride, obviously the church, and declares that she is one with him.

Mat 19:5  And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

If Jesus was one with Mary then according to his own words she was “his wife”.

Mary Magdalene with Jesus and his family

12:6 After this He went down to Capernaum, He and his mother, with Mary Magdalene, and his brothers, and his disciples; and they continued there for many days. (Gospel of the Nazarenes)

Mary Magdalene was frequently seen in the company of Jesus, his mother and his brothers, as if she were part of his family.

Mary Magdalene sister of Martha and Lazaras

Joh 11:31 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.

Joh 11:32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.

Male disciples of Jesus are jealous of Mary Magdalene

114  Simon Peter said to them, “Make Mary leave us, for females don’t deserve life.” Jesus said, “Look, I will guide her to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every female who makes herself male will enter the kingdom of Heaven.” (Gospel of Thomas)

From much of what we read about Mary Magdalene, she sounds like a woman that was not only very close to him but even in love with him.
