Bible Study Mary M the first Christian?

[Corn Pop]

In the scripture it seems Mary M is the greatest witness of Christ. She spent time with Christ, witnessed him doing a miracle, she was there at the cross, and was the first to witness the risen Christ and the first person Christ chose to speak with after his ressurection, and the first to preach the risen Christ and things spoken by Christ to others as Christ told her.

Witnessed Christ on the cross and was the first to witness and speak with the risen Christ and preach it to others.

Just thought it was interesting that's all. Many people don't look at things like that in scripture.

Mary Magdalene was in a pretty bad state of affairs when Jesus found her. The
details of her exorcism aren't given but with seven demons, she had to be
miserable. They no doubt tampered with not only Mary's mental health, but also
her physical condition too.

Mary is commonly assumed to be a prostitute because she was from the region of
Magdala, but I've yet to be shown conclusive proof.

Mary is a bit of a curiosity. When she first arrived at the cemetery that day, two
guys dressed in unusual clothing informed her that Jesus was alive. (Luke 24:1-
-10) Afterwards she complained to Peter, and Jesus too, that somebody had moved
his body. (John 20:1-15)

Who had eternal life before Mary ?

I would guess Abel; he's the earliest known to be inspired. (Luke 11:49-51)

How many Marys are there.

Mary Mother of Jesus.
Mary Magdaline.
Mary of Clopas.
Mary, Martha's sister.

Unless Mary M is also Mary Martha's sister who lived in Bethony, so is the Mary who anointed Jesus.
