Episode notes
Mary Magdalene Misconception
- Mary Magdalene is never identified as a prostitute in the Bible despite common portrayals.
- This misconception likely arose from blending her with an unnamed sinful woman in Luke 7:36-50.
Satan as Worship Leader Myth
- The Bible never calls Satan the worship leader in heaven.
- Ezekiel 28, often cited, only indirectly describes Satan and uncertainly mentions musical instruments.
Jesus' Birthplace Clarified
- The Bible does not say Jesus was born in a stable but likely in a home's lower level.
- The term 'inn' more accurately means a guest room, which was likely occupied.
