Mary Magdalene as a Metaphor for the Latter-day Church/Bride

Enoch,

I perused your article on Christ being married. You've done a good job on that.

As for Mary Magdalene, why avoid the legendary possibility that she had been a prostitute? At a minimum, the scriptures inform us that the Mary who Christ first appeared to was she "out of whom went seven devils." (Mark 16:9.) That's not entirely flattering to a (hypocritical) squeaky clean Mormon anti-grace view. Yet in my opinion, it is a perfect metaphor.

Mary Magdalene, as the literal bride of the savior during his earthly ministry, serves as a fitting type of the metaphorical bride of the latter-days. At present the church is acting the whore, seeking the favors of the gods of the world, including the Satanic New World Order. But when the Lord is through with her, she will be purified and holy.

Schopenhauer
All truth passes through three stages:
   First, it is ridiculed;
   Second, it is violently opposed; and
   Third, it is accepted as self-evident.

-- Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
