>>17864222 (OP)>Mary committed adultery with a Roman soldier named Panthera.This phrase is a syncretic mishmash that was the end result of all the slander circulating against Jesus and his allies. Pantera was the father of Mary Magdalene, and Joseph of Magdala was her uncle. Jesus was sent to live with them because the Mary & Joseph of Judah lived too close to the Herods. Also, Joseph of Magdala had helped out Jesus' father Juba II during his 4-year stay in Galilee. Pantera was the bodyguard of Juba II during his babysitting of Augustus' grandson Gaius (Agrippas son).
When this Gaius died in 4ad, Juba II took Mary & Joseph of Judah with him to hide from the turmoil that ensued - probably along with Pantera & Magdalene as well, but Joseph of Magdala stayed behind - later becoming the cover-father for both Jesus and Magdalene when they returned to Galilee. The reason why Magdalene was treated so abnormally lenient by Jesus compared to Judaic and israelite scholarly norms, was because Jesus had used her as a dribbling-wall and study-buddy during his time in the libraries of his father. In short, Magdalene could preemptively quote Jesus verbatim if she wanted to, because she had heard all his talkingpoints since they were toddlers.
Because of this, Jesus saw first-hand that the taboo against female scholars and intellectuals was more due to lack of education than it was the retardedness of the female gender. This is why Jesus said that women could theoretically become "like a man" in the sense of being disciples of truth, if they prove capable of resisting the stereotypical gossip-whore trope.
