  1. Gospel of Judas(late 2nd century)Irenaeus, Bishop of Lyons, assailed it as a Cainite Gnostic mss

  2. Gospel of JudasThe Cainite Gnostics praised Cain, the Sodomites, and Judas.

  3. The Gospel of Judas presents Judas as the hero of the gospel story. Jesus tells him, “You will sacrifice the man that clothes me.”

  4. The Gospel of JudasAll it really does is confirm two of the fundamental tenets of Gnosticism: the evil of matter (e.g., bodies) and salvation by secret elitist knowledge (gnosis)

  5. The Truth About Mary Magdalene and Jesus (John 20) April 16, 2006 “Noli Me Tangere” Correggio (1525)

  6. Confusion about Mary Magdalene

  7. Da Vinci Code Claims “The chalice that held the blood of Christ … it speaks, in fact, of Mary Magdalene – the female womb that carried Jesus’ royal bloodline… behold the greatest cover-up in human history. Not only was Jesus married, he was a father.” (TDC, 249)

  8. “Mary Magdalene was pregnant at the time of the crucifixion. For the sake of Christ’s unborn child, she had no choice but to flee the Holy Land. With the help of Jesus’ trusted uncle, Joseph of Arimathea, Mary Magdalene secretly traveled to France, then known as Gaul. There she found a refuge in the Jewish community. It was here in France that she gave birth to her daughter. Her name was Sarah.” (TDC, 255)

  9. Da Vinci’s “Last Supper”

  10. Response Gospel of Mary • Composed late 2nd century • Mary receives a special revelation from Christ. Andrew rejects her revelation. Peter doubts her and is challenged by Levi. Levi states Jesus loved her more than them. • No mention of marriage.

  11. Gospel of Philip And the companion of the Saviour is Mary Magdalene. Christ loved her more than all the disciples and used to kiss her often on the mouth. The rest of the disciples were offended by it and expressed disapproval. They said to him, “Why do you love her more than all of us.?”

  12. Gospel of Philip And the companion of the [ … ] Mary Magdalene. [ … loved ] her more than [ all ] the disciples [and used to] kiss her [often] on her [ … ]. The rest of the disciples were offended by it and expressed disapproval. They said to him, “Why do you love her more than all of us.?” (The Gospel of Philip)

  13. Response The Gospel of Philip was written originally in Greek, not Aramaic as Brown says. And the word for companion in the Coptic version of it is a Greek loan word, koinonos. It meant partner, or companion.It could beused for a sister or wife in the common sense of companion, but that was a secondary usage. Companion almost always means companion.

  14. Response Gospel of Philip • Composed second half of 3rd century, many generations after Christ • God is a man-eater; so people are sacrificed to him. • Denies the virgin birth

  15. Response These false gospels are: • Not apostolic in origin • Not in agreement with other revealed Scripture • Not accepted by the people of God

  16. Not Jesus’ Wife • Mary is never tied to any male when named. • 1 Cor. 9:4-6 • Jesus made no provision for Mary Magdalene at the cross, as He did for His mother. • The veneration of Jesus’ mother is inconsistent with Brown’s claim that the church suppressed the “sacred feminine.” • Sources are few, late, and discredited.

  17. Gnostic Gospel of Thomas Simon Peter said to them, “Let Mary leave us, for women are not worthy of life.” Jesus said, “I myself shall lead her in order to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit, resembling you males. For every woman who will make herself male will enter the kingdom of heaven.” Gospel of Thomas, saying 114.

  20. Some think she is the prostitute of Luke 7. • In A.D. 591, Pope Gregory the Great gave an Easter sermon in which he erroneously declared Mary Magdalene was the woman of Luke 7. • In 1969, the Vatican corrected centuries of error by acknowledging there was no basis for identifying her as a prostitute.
