Conflict between Mary, and her rivals.

Hi everyone! 

First off, let's start with Peter - In the New Testament, Peter is the favorite apostle (maybe besides John), and he later receives the keys to heaven, Peter becomes the first pope, so forth and so forth. He is portrayed in the Bible completely wrong, it is horrible! (Similar to someone I'M WRITING AN ENTIRE BLOG ABOUT) But not in a good way. Peter, to start with, is the only one of the 11 Apostles (excluding Judas obviously) to "deny" or "fail" Jesus in some way. Peter is the one who denies he knows Jesus, three times. Jesus, beforehand, had already "warned" him, but...

Peter replied, "Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will." "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "This very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times." But Peter declared, "Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you." And all the other disciples said the same. 

Later that night, Jesus was arrested. The first denial to a servant girl in Luke 22:54-57 is as follows: 

Then they seized him and led him away, bringing him into the high priest's house. Peter followed at a distance and when they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them. A servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight. She looked closely at him and said, "This man was with him." But he denied it. "Woman, I don't know him," he said. 

 
The second denial to the same girl in Mark 14:69-70 is: 

When the servant girl saw him there, she said again to those standing around, "This fellow is one of them." Again he denied it. 

The third denial to a number of people, is emphatic as he curses according to Matthew 26:73-75:

After a little while, those standing there went up to Peter and said, "Surely you are one of them, for your accent gives you away." Then he began to call down curses on himself and he swore to them, "I don't know the man!" Immediately a rooster crowed. Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: "Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times." And he went outside and wept bitterly.

See? OK, going back a little, Peter is always the one to pick on Magdalene, picking her apart for being a woman, or for simply being married to Our Lord. I was watching documentary once, and the man speaking (about this subject)  said the truest thing:  
"It's like, anything that makes Peter Simon sound good, at all, makes Mary Magdalene sound bad... and, vist versa. Say something in defense for Magdalene, it makes Peter look bad!"  
Gosh is that true. But, I will now pick him apart, because this is a blog all about Mary, right?

  Mary Magdalene and Saint Peter

In the Gospel of Pistis Sophia, I actually found Peter had legit reasons to be mad at Mary, for once. Just to start off, let's say Jesus, channeling Pistis Sophia, only speaks 26 times. Peter only speaks 5. Now, Mary, blabbers up the entire Gospels with her questions. Mostly they go like this, 

  *Jesus: Great question, Mary, beloved. 

  *Mary: Yes, but, ... 

And then gos off into yet another question. About halfway through the Gospel, no one has ever had the slightest chance to ever speak a darn word, Peter bursts out, yelling, "My Lord, we will not endure this woman, for she has taketh the opportunity from us, and hath let none of us speak, but she discoursed many times." 

Let alone, Mary spoke 83 times total. No one (Besides maybe JESUS) even got into the double digits, the closest being John, with a total of 9 times. 

   What is this? I seem to be making fun of Mary Magdalene? Nonsense! 

 Even though Peter was portrayed as the favorite apostle in Jesus' mind, Jesus actually said quite a few things against him. : (example)
    "And the companion of the saviour was Mary Magdalene. Christ loved Mary more than all the disciples, and used to kiss her often. The rest of the disciples were offended by it and expressed disapproval. They said to him, "Why do you love her more than all of us?" The Saviour answered and said to them, "Why do I not love you like her?"

One time, when Peter was "annoying" Jesus, He shouted: 

   "Satan! Get behind me!" 

Was He referring to Peter as "satan"? *Ladylike gasp* 

Peter, in fact, is one of the reasons Mary and the others ("the others" referring to Sara-la-kali (Tamar), Martha of Bethany, and Lazarus) had to flee to France -- he was the first pope, and by any means necessary did he not want Mary to be in charge -- some people think that indeed Mary was the one Jesus instructed to be the head of the catholic church, but instead Peter stole it and sent her out of the country to cover-up. Actually, a pretty convincing theory. Why wouldn't He want His wife to be the head, and if not her, why not John the virgin or someone a little... nicer?  It would only make sense that Peter stole it from whoever it was in the first place. Right? 

Thanks for reading, that's it for today!
