Jesus and Mary Magdalene are hardly what the four testaments tell us. Mary Magdalene is a well-educated and savvy business woman in an era that such a woman is rarely seen. Jesus is not a carpenter but an importer of wood from across the Mediterranean that would later be known as Anjou plus the governor of Roman occupied Jerusalem. Their daughter Barbara has been far better educated than most women of the time.
As she learned more she questioned the norms. She would debate scholarly rabbis points of the Hebrew Scriptures such as the story of Adam and Eve.
She argued that the whole ‘original sin’ story was written by men to justify the male-centric religion and suppress women.
She would argue even the very laws, the Ten Commandments, handed to Moses made no mention of the many to laws and regulations that suppresses the joys God had bestowed on mankind. As she went through her 20s to Jerusalem’s elder her actions seemed to become more ‘radical’. She would often be sighted roaming the countryside without clothing, casually asking “Do you expect me to hide this creation of God’s under the cloth of man?”
She was seen cavorting openly with other women…
…and some were daughters of powerful leaders!
She would be seen fornicating with men outdoors (and who knew what she did behind closed doors) giving equal access to a shepherd…
…as she would a privileged son!
But her behavior was bringing grumblings from both powerful members of the citizenry and influential rabbis! The Roman governor Pontius Pilate found it amusing and saw no reason to take action so they appealed to Barbara’s father Jesus. He agrees to talk with his daughter and she comes to his study wearing nothing as she usually was ‘dressed’. Jesus explains to her that forces are growing demanding she stops her lecherous ways. With genuine sincerity Barbara replies “I am not the lecherous one. I present myself as God made me and it is the rabbis and elders with lechery in their hearts!”
