This question is a joke. Also, the mods should add a joke tag to allow dumb answers.

    heads up, there’s a reason I labeled them “stories” (certainly not something you can confirm through the church) – most of the stories come up as “secret knowledge” within the various esoteric/hermetic/gnostic sects and usually make reference to the Gospel of Mary Magdalene

    • possibilities include
      • most likely, Gospel of Mary, part of the Berlin Codex – somewhere between 100 and 150 CE maybe
      • less likely, Dialogue of the Saviour, part of the Nag Hammadi library – maybe 150 CE
    • two main councils for determining the New Testament (and remember they didn’t have carbon dating to determine authenticity)
    • we do know
      • the 12 disciples were sexist
      • Mary Magdalene was a single noble lady – a perfect target for misogynistic slander painting her as a prostitute
