The Bible never says Mary Magdalene was a prostitute.

This belief is everywhere. Sermons. Art. Films. Popular devotionals. But Scripture never says it. Mary Magdalene is described as a woman Jesus healed. She is present at the crucifixion. She is the first witness to the resurrection. The label comes from later church tradition, not the Gospels. That matters, because generations of believers internalized a story of “sexual sin redeemed” that the Bible never assigned to her. In Scripture, Mary is not a warning. She is a witness. If you learned faith through shame-heavy stories that were never actually biblical, you are not misremembering alone. We inherited the story. We did not check the text. #BibleMisconceptions #MandelaEffect #WomenInTheBible #Gospels #DidYouKnow
