Apparently Judy has been doing most of the Bible referencing in this thread. As far as I can tell, Judy cites no historians to back up any of her claims. Go figure. "The Gospel of Mary was written sometime during the time of Christ. "Scholars do not always agree which of the Marys in the New Testament is the central character of the Gospel of Mary. Arguments in favor of Mary Magdalene are based on her status as a known follower of Jesus, the tradition of being the first witness of his resurrection, and her appearance in other early Christian writings. She is mentioned as accompanying Jesus on his journeys (Luke 8:2) and is listed in the Gospel of Matthew as being present at his crucifixion (Matthew 27:56). In the Gospel of John, she is recorded as the first witness of Jesus' resurrection (John 20:14–16); (Mark 16:9 later manuscripts)." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel_of_Mary
