St. Mary Magdalene was not accepted as a "prostitute", but for her own self. And as for her lifestyle, that our Lord asked her to surrender, to "sin no more". In fact, despite the very secular mis-interpretation of the Gospels, Jesus mentions sin far more than He does love. Accepting a person as a being in God does not mean to suggest that God condones that persons behaviour, or that He is suggesting that behaviour should continue.
Mary had 7 devils cast out of her, where is anything said about her being a prostitute?
Lu:8:2:
And certain women,
which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities,
Mary called Magdalene,
out of whom went seven devils,
There certainly isn't anything in the previous chapter that identifies Mary as the woman who Jesus says "Thy sins are forgiven" to. There is no relation to having 'sins forgiven' and ' healed of evil spirits and infirmities'. Is it a sin to be possessed? Infirmities would indicate an injured or broken body, when did having a broken body a sin?
Do the two names given in the next verse just come from nowhere where nothing was written about how they came to be followers?
Lu:8:3:
And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward,
and Susanna,
and many others,
which ministered unto him of their substance.
How do you know it wasn't Susanna in the previous chapter? What about Joanna, the woman Jesus saved from being stoned was married, but not mentioned by name, and here you have a married woman that is one of Jesus's followers.
How is it proved that Mary Magdalene was more important to Jesus than this other Mary.
Joh:11:2:
(It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment,
and wiped his feet with her hair,
whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
Joh:11:5:
Now Jesus loved Martha,
and her sister,
and Lazarus.
Vs:2 is not a reference to the verses from Luke, it is a reference to these verses,
Joh:12:3:
Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard,
very costly,
and anointed the feet of Jesus,
and wiped his feet with her hair:
and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
Joh:12:4:
Then saith one of his disciples,
Judas Iscariot,
Simon's son,
which should betray him,
Joh:12:5:
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence,
and given to the poor?
Joh:12:6:
This he said,
not that he cared for the poor;
but because he was a thief,
and had the bag,
and bare what was put therein.
Joh:12:7:
Then said Jesus,
Let her alone:
against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
This is the same Mary also,
Lu:10:41:
And Jesus answered and said unto her,
Martha,
Martha,
thou art careful and troubled about many things:
Lu:10:42:
But one thing is needful:
and Mary hath chosen that good part,
which shall not be taken away from her.
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.
Joh:11:33:
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping,
and the Jews also weeping which came with her,
he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
It was Mary's words and tears that caused Jesus to groan, not Lazarus's death, He groaned over that when He came to Lazarus's tomb.
Sorry for the getting off topic but if names are going to be tossed around they might as well be the right ones.
