    Mary Magdalene was NEVER a prostitute. There is no verse in scripture to support that idea. Those who say she was one cannot tell the difference between prostitution and sushi for all l care.

    Chances are she was a temple prostitute. Only the daughters of the more prominent people were allowed to be temple prostitutes.

    Marie is the french form of Mary. Please refrain from using non-english on this forum. Thanks!
