Four Women That Are ONE AND THE SAME WOMAN

The "woman caught in adultery" and    
The "sinner" who washed Christ's feet with her hair and    
Mary Magdalen "out of whom Christ cast 7 demons"    
and Mary the sister of Martha and Lazarus --- They may well be all the SAME WOMAN.    
 
Here's the circumstantial evidence:    
(1)the woman caught in adultery was about to be stoned to death
but then Christ  says the words that saved her life:    
"He that without sin, let him cast the first stone."    
So she had reason to be grateful - overwhelminglly grateful - to Christ.    
   
(2)The "sinner" woman who kisses His feet,wetting them with her tears,
tears of heartfelt emotion and wiping them with her hair,
"loved much because she had been forgiven much."    
Just WHAT WAS IT THAT SHE WAS FORGIVEN FOR??    
Well it's obvious that it was no trivial thing.    
Saying "She loved much" may mean she was "grateful much."    
If she was the woman who had earlier been rescued from death,
no wonder she was so grateful !!  
 
And because the term "sinner [woman]" - the way it was used of her -
may have been a euphemism for "prostitute", this puts her in the same category
as the woman caught in adultery, especially when you consider
that "adultery" was a euphemism for prostitution.    
   
(3)Mary the sister of Martha likewise wiped Christ's feet with her hair.
This was done when she anointed His head In preparation for His burial.    
This puts Mary into the position of possibly being the very same woman.
who had done it earlier.
   
(4)Mary sister of Martha  may well have been Mary Magdalen.  
In other words,Mary of Bethany may have been Mary of Magdala.    
That is to say, she could have lived in Magdala before moving in with Martha at Bethany.    
For she was relatively rich in that the spikenard showed she had money.    
Where did she get it and how did she get it?    
Magdala was a resort town on the coast of the Sea of Galilee.    
Roman soldiers, a garrison of them, were stationed there.    
It would only be natural for hookers to show up where the soldiers were.    
Working with them would explain where Mary got the large amount
of money it took to buy the spikenard.  
 
Finally, Mary Magdalen comes to the garden tomb after the Sabbath is over.  
She comes to complete the cleaning of the body.  
Why wasn't Mary of Bethany there as well??  
Well if they were both the same person, that would explain it.
Mary of Bethany was there but under a different name.
 
Finally, a few places in the 4 gospels contain a list of the important women.
There's not a single one that lists both Mary of Bethany and Mary Magdalen together.  
Why is that??
Well, if they're the same person that would explain it.
 
Finally, what does it mean that Christ "cast 7 demons out of Mary Magdalen" ??
Well, "You must not commit adultery" is the 7th of the 10 Commandments,
according to the Jewish method of counting.
(The Catholic Church joined the first two commandments together,
calling them the first commandment, which screws up the numbering!!)  
 
So the number 7 is suggestive of adultery.
So the socalled "7 demons" may simply be code for the sin of adultery/prostitution.
This amounts to evidence that Mary Magdalen had been a prostitute earlier in het life.  
More later
