While they do all say that Magdalene went, they disagree as to who she went with and why. Additionally, if we expand to the following verses, they all disagree on what happened
after the tomb was visited.
Matthew 28:1-10: Mary Magdalene and the other Mary go to the tomb. An earthquake happens as a angel comes down. The angel scares the guards away, rolls the stone to the side, and proceeds to sit on it. The angel speaks to the women, who then run away. Jesus appears to them as they flee.
John 20:1-10: Only Mary Magdalene goes to the tomb. Upon seeing that it has been opened, she runs and tells Simon Peter and "the other disciple". Peter and the other disciple run to the tomb. The other disciple arrives first, but stays outside looking at linens. Peter goes in and observes more linens, and soon the other disciple follows.
Mark 16:1-8: Mary Magdalene, Mary, and Salome go to the tomb to anoint the body of Jesus. Upon arrival, they see that the tomb has been opened. They walk in, and see a man in white sitting off to the side, who tells them that Jesus has risen. The women all flee, and speak to no one.
It's no longer prisoner of war slavery once they are sold from the kings. From then on they are just normal slaves. And even then, why does that make slavery okay? Hint: It doesn't.
That's pretty blatant sexism. There is no way you can argue that it isn't.
And is also says again that "the husband is the head of the wife". That is still sexism, even if it's followed by saying that they love each other.
What do you have to say about
1 Corinthians 14:34-35? "Women should remain silent in the churches.
They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for
it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church."
1 Timothy 2:9-15? "
A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner." That's the main juicy part. Again, submission for being lesser than men. Again, blatant sexism.
I don't call that sexism; That
IS sexism. It's absolutely irrelevant as to whether or not the Bible says that men should love their wives, the fact is that the Bible continually stresses that women should also submit and be lesser than the men. That is sexism.
One would hope that
all slave laws in any book were no longer in effect. Where does the Bible say to "treat them humanly"? It says to treat them as property (
Leviticus 25:44-46).
Additionally, how can you argue that
Exodus 21:20-21 is in any way humane? "Oh yeah, you can beat them as much as you want. Just don't kill them!"
