The Jesus Freaks Will Hate This

[watchamadoodle]

For anyone who is curious, here is the quote from the Gospel of Philip that might suggest a sexual relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene. I suppose it might also suggest a sexual relationship between Jesus and the male disciples (because they seem to be jealous). Or maybe kissing on the mouth suggests nothing sexual. However, this definitely hints at a tradition that Mary Magdalene was the favorite disciple due to her wisdom. There are hints of that in the canonical gospels too. (BTW: this is an interesting gospel. Christianity would have probably been a better religion if the gnostics had triumphed IMO.)

As for the Wisdom who is called "the barren," she is the mother of the angels. And the companion of the [...] Mary Magdalene. [...] loved her more than all the disciples, and used to kiss her often on her mouth. The rest of the disciples [...]. They said to him "Why do you love her more than all of us?" The Savior answered and said to them,"Why do I not love you like her? When a blind man and one who sees are both together in darkness, they are no different from one another. When the light comes, then he who sees will see the light, and he who is blind will remain in darkness."
