Michael Kruger also brings us back to the bottom line in this issue.

This is just one more aspect of the "cunningly devised fables," (2Pt. 1:16) Gnostic nonsense seen in Da Vinci Code ,"by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive." (Eph. 4:14)

While it would not be sin for the Lord to be married, this is not found nor inferred in Scripture, while Gnosticism was a later and diverse development, with radically perverse ideas.

The Gospel of Jesus’ Wife? When Sensationalism Masquerades as Scholarship

[Venturer]

Even if true she wasn’t 9 year old.

[trebb]

Yep - the words “wife” and “bride” are used as analogies vs. His situation. They reflect a sacred relationship of two-way fealty and not a human familial bond. To consider this “revelation” as anything but tripe is to ignore the parables He used.

This was one of the silliest things that they’ve come up with yet. Everybody knows that the world was awash in faux “gospels” during the first few centuries, and Christian scholars were certainly well aware of it at the time. This is why the councils devoted themselves to building a canon, or set of approved scriptures, and ignored the rest of the nonsense out there.

But I guess that wouldn’t sell a TV program...

There is no Gospel of Jesus’ wife, Jesus did not have a wife.

[CatherineofAragon]

Earlier this week, I was reading one of the threads about this, and more than half the Freepers posting on it either said He probably did have a wife or they didn’t care if He did. Amazing.....

[Cicero]

All this shows is how far Harvard has fallen. Obviously this woman was given a job in their divinity school, a hotbed of radical heresies, because she is a radical feminist.

[MarDav]

Jesus has no wife...He has a bride!

Do you have the "courage" to watch this ?


Choose you this day whom you shall serve ... the Great I AM ... or Myth Romney's promises of more money ?

Amazing, is not the word I would use, but it kinder.

[svcw]

Bingo!

[Shadow44]

It’s amazing how a little bit of knowledge makes people so ignorant.

I’ve tried explaining to many people about how Gnosticism emerged at least 200 years after Jesus, and by then the apostolic church had already organized itself.

Of course most of those people tend not to appreciate that Dan Brown’s books are in the Fiction section either.

[dragonblustar]

Another example of how people want to make God into their own image.

[CatherineofAragon]

Yeah, there are more words I could think of.....

[CatherineofAragon]

I agree....either that, or they have a lack of understanding of His divine nature and His mission in the first place.

[metmom]

They wish.....

It’s not going to send shockwaves through the world.

It’s just another pathetic attempt so slander Jesus. Nothing new under the sun.

[count-your-change]

To tell the truth I didn't feel any “jolts” going through my world and the earth didn't shift when I first read about a little piece of papyrus ending up in some professor's hands.

To be generous it might actually be from the 4th. cen. but then as now a lot of garbage was written and some survives.

Or the thing could be a fake a collector got burned on as happens all the time.
