I read a lot verses about Her.
Who is She?
Does She is one of the disciples?
Does She wrote a Gospel too?

Hey Wapewe
To answer your question, Mary Magdalene was a sinner who had more than one husband. She was looked down on by other people because of her sins. Jesus on the other hand, took her as she was and forgave her. and she was extremely grateful to him. That even though her sins were so many and so great that he could forgive her and take them away. She was not one of the disciple, but she was one of the women who went to check on Jesus on the first day, which was Sunday morning and an angel (Gabriele ) Told her that the savior she was searching for has risen :) And to answer your last question, she did not write any of the gospels. And also Mary Magdalene was the sister of Martha and Lazarus. THe man that Jesus rose from the grave. Remember that story?

According to the gospels of the New Testament, Mary Magdalene was a prosti....(I couldn't complete the word due to some preferences in mylot which I had chosen. I tried to change it but couldn't). She was the one who was brought before Jesus for punishment by the local people. But Jesus forgave her. She was also the one who cleaned Jesus' feet with an expensive oil and her long hair. These are the things which the gospels tell about Mary Magdalene.
But history tells us different things. She was one of the disciples of Jesus and the most beloved one. She had also written a gospel. Her gospel was discovered inn 1896. Do you think that only 4 gospels were written at the time of Jesus? No. Many more gospels were written and only those gospels which say Jesus as the God were included in the Bible during its compilation by Constantine.

Yes I agree with you. But I have heard about some other gospels also. If you read The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, you will get to know more about the Bible and the Church. The novel is a work of fiction yet all descriptions of artwork, architecture, documents and secret rituals in this novel are accurate. So I suggest you to read the novel.

Ajinleo: I too have tried to change my preference so I could use these words to describe certain things but these words are considered adult conversations so I am not allowed to use them either. If anyone knows how we can change this I would like to know. Maybe we could "Ask Alice."

I'm not saying your wrong. I've never read into the other gospels that were found. All i know is that was not in the bible. she may have been a disciple, but she was not one of the 12 disciples. there's a reason why there were 12. Because there are 12 tribes of Judea.
