No one knows who she was, The Bible does not state. I fail to see how knowing this would be important.

In bible times where is Bethany located?

In the King James version the word - Bethany - appears 11 times * Mat 21:17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there. * Mat 26:6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, * Mar 11:1 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, * Mar 11:11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve. * Mar 11:12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: * Mar 14:3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head. * Luk 19:29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, * Luk 24:50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. * Joh 11:1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. * Joh 11:18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off: * Joh 12:1 Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. Only the second-last one mentions where it is located. A furlong is one-eighth of a mile, so fifteen furlongs is almost 2 miles. It seems odd that a 'city" would be less than two miles from another city.

Was Mary magdalene the one that committed adultery married before that happen?

In the Bible, there is no explicit mention of Mary Magdalene committing adultery before meeting Jesus. She is primarily known for being a follower of Jesus and being present at important moments in his life, such as his crucifixion and resurrection. The story of the woman caught in adultery, which is often associated with Mary Magdalene, is a separate biblical account.


Why did Mary madgdalene get stoned?

Mary Magdalene was not stoned in the Bible. She is often confused with other women in the Bible who were in different situations. Mary Magdalene was a devoted follower of Jesus and was the first person to witness his resurrection.


Why has The Eastern Orthodox Church never accepted Pope Gregory's identification of Mary Magdalene with the sinful woman?

Probably because the Sacred Scriptures of the New Testament Gospels doesn't not record the name of the sinful woman caught in adultery. The only thing the Gospels say about Mary Magdalene is that our Lord Jesus Christ cast out seven demons from her and she followed Christ ever since.


Who was Mary of Bethany?

The Catholic Church has always considered Mary of Bethany and Mary Magdalen to be one and the same. She was the sister of Martha and Lazarus of Bethany. Some Protestants differ and say they were two distinct individuals. I guess that is why they are called Protestants.

Did God commit adultery with the Virgin Mary?

Unless God (is not subjected to or) does not follow his own rules--then I would have to say Yes, He committed adultry with Mary, by taking another mans bethrothed and making her pregnant...But that must be OK for the greater good?Catholic Answer:To commit adultery one would have to have sex with the woman. This did not happen. God simply willed for Mary to carry his divine son and it happened.


To whom did Jesus say go and sin no more?

This was said to the woman caught in adultery, John 8: 3-4. In Jewish law adultery was considered punishable by death, but under Roman occupation the Jews were not allowed to execute anyone (hence the necessary trial by pilate when jesus was crucified). This woman, however, was caught in the act of adultery and sentenced, illegally, to be stoned. When Jesus was asked whether or not he agreed that she should be executed (by the Jewish authorities, out to trap him) he declared 'let he who is without sin, cast the first stone'. One by one the lynch mob retreated, realising that they too were sinners. When they had left Jesus asked the woman where those who condemned her had gone. When she saw none left, Jesus stated, "and neither do I condemn you - go and sin no more". In this story it is clear that Jesus did not condone the adultery but expected the woman to turn away from her sin as she had been given another chance. Her repentance was expected, just as we are expected to repent when we do wrong. Note that in Hollywood films (movies to our US friends!) they often identify the adulterous woman as Mary Magdalene but there is no evidence whatsoever that this was the case.


Who was in Mary Magdalene's family?

There is much debate among various Bible scholars about Mary Magdalene. Some say there were three Marys - Mary of Bethany, Mary of Magdala and a Mary associated with the sinner mentioned in the New Testament. Catholic scholars tend to say there was only one Mary and she was the sister of Martha and Lazarus of Bethany.
