* MARTHA IS THE FIRST HEROINE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. * THERE ARE TWO ACCOUNTS OF MARTHA; LUKE 10:38-41 AND JOHN 11. THE BOOK OF LUKE SHOWS JESUS ADMONISHING MARTHA FOR BEING TOO ANXIOUS ABOUT MATERIAL THINGS. * IN THE MOSAIC BOOK OF THE ADOPTIVE RITE, WE FIND THAT THE DEGREE OF MARTHA WAS CONFERRED WITH NO CEREMONY AT ALL. THIS WAS NECESSARY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE ONLY MALE CHARACTER WAS THAT OF JESUS AND TO HAVE IMPERSONATED HIM WOULD HAVE BEEN BLASPHEMOUS. |
