The bible says that Mary Magdalene was possessed with seven demons. It doesn’t say that she was a prostitute or a sinful woman.
It says that she was possessed. Many people who are possessed involuntarily, which mean that she didn’t accept what she was into.
The bible doesn’t say that she was practicing demonism. There is a different between a deceiver person and a deceived person.
Mary Magdalene was not a deceiver she was a victim. Victims are not considered sinners and won’t be condemned. Satan victimized Jesus, and Jesus becomes a victim.
Could we name Jesus a sinner because Satan tempted him? Jesus had a conversation with Satan, but it doesn’t mean that Jesus accepted Satan. Mary Magdalene was possessed with demons but she didn’t accept this possession.
It means that Mary Magdalene was victimized by demons and Jesus cleansed her. The bible doesn’t mention that Mary Magdalene is a sinner. When Jesus heals someone he always says: your sins are forgiven.
The bible doesn’t indicate how Jesus removes the seven demons out of Mary it says that Jesus cleansed her.
Many people remark that Mary was a prostitute because they red few events in the bible that Jesus forgave a prostitute women’s sins. The names of those women are not mentioned in the bible, which confused them to believe that was Mary Magdalene. (John 8: 8 - 11) (Luke 7: 36 – 50).
The bible clearly indicates that Mary Magdalene was possessed by seven demons. The scripture reads: 9 When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons.
10 She went and told those who had been with him and who were mourning and weeping. 11 When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him, they did not believe it. (Mark 16: 9-11)
This scripture explains the resurrection of Jesus and in the same time it mentions about Mary Magdalene that was at the seen and this woman who Jesus took seven demons out of her. So the bible doesn’t indicate a unique scripture of Mary Magdalene’s cleansing.
God bless
