The Real Reason Why Mary Magdalene Is Such a Controversial Figure

3 Comments

Chào các bạn,

Nói về Giêsu, nhất là vào Tuần Thánh là tuần trước ngày Phục Sinh, trong buổi ăn cuối cùng của các môn đệ, cao điểm là cảnh Mary Magdalene dùng dầu thơm để rửa chân cho Jesus và dùng tóc của mình để lau chân Jesus – một cảnh siêu tình cảm và lãng mạn dù ở thời đại nào. Ngay cả trong Thánh kinh chính thức (đã được dùng bởi các tổ phụ để xóa ảnh hưởng của Mary Magdalene và phụ nữ ra khỏi giáo hội cho đến ngày nay – phụ nữ ngày nay vẫn không được làm linh mục), thì Mary Magdalene là người đầu tiên thấy Giêsu sống lại, trong thời đại mà đàn bà không được làm nhân chứng chính thức trong các kiện cáo và lời nói được xem là không đáng tin. Tức là nói về Giêsu thì không thể nói về Mary Magdalene.

Mary Magdalene là nhân vật bí ẩn nhất trong Thánh kinh. Giáo hội, thời ban đầu đã cố tình biến Mary thành người đàn bà tội lỗi, bán dâm, bị quỷ ám, và xóa sổ Mary khỏi dòng chính của tư duy. Cho đến 1969 giáo hội (dưới ảnh hưởng đổi mới của Công Đồng Vaticano II) mới có chỉnh sửa lại cái nhìn rằng những cái nhìn trước kia là không có căn bản.

China has vowed to stop importing solid waste by 2020, while Vietnam is still fumbling for solutions to control scrap imports.

Chinese agencies on March 28 announced the country’s plan to cut solid waste imports to zero percent by 2020 with an aim of encouraging plants to treat the high amount of domestic waste.

The Philippine press began to report this militia presence in early April, prompting the government to say it would protest to Beijing.

HỘI AN — The appearance of a 15ha sandbank, 1.8km off the Cửa Đại Beach since early this year offers a chance to research changing riverhead flows and sand sedimentation at lower lands, according to experts.

The emergence of the sandbank could lead to solutions to help save Cửa Đại Beach, 5km from UNESCO-recognised world heritage site Hội An City, from serious erosion over past decades.

Prayer 626

12 Comments

The prayer series

Jesus,

I feel a little down.
This suit isn’t as good as I think.

…

Our people now seem to like dress sexy or casually
instead of dressing formally in business.
And I dress like a person living in 1920, not 2020.

…

The wind comes.
You are comforting me?
You are bringing me joy?

…

Jesus, would you like to give me money?
Then you’ll lead me to another good tailor shop to make other suits?
Then you’ll buy pearl necklaces for me?
Nice watches, heels and many other things?

🙂

I’m poor
but I live as a princess.
My mom always tells me that.

Yes, I always think I’m a princess.
And truly I’m a Princess of God.
So I should live as who I am, right?

…

Would you like to clothe me so nice? 🙂

I love you, my God.

Amen.

PTH
