Harvard researchers have discovered that "Sharpie Markers" were widely used back in those days, and that distinctive, telltale "Sharpie Markers" ink was conclusively found all over the manuscript...

The book of Thomas, the book of Mary, and other gnostics were old too. The koran is old too.
And I don’t have a bit of use for any of them.
Had a nice young Jewish man of that time NOT been married, it would have been unusual enough to be noteworthy.
Proves? No. I would say, strongly suggests.
:) Please put me back on your ping list.Thank you.
So ... fake but accurate, part deux?
Harvard Divinity Professor. Why does Harvard need a professor of candy?
Heretical beliefs have been rejected since the very beginning of Christianity. Only a modern "scholar" could be confused into thinking that heresy has some special significance by dint of age.
This stuff is a holy week tradition.
What was it last year? I think it was someone found Jesus’ grave, or was that the year before?
The mainstream media sure likes to distort anything related to religion. The title of this article is misleading as it implies that, since manuscript experts have determined that the manuscript in question is not a “fake” (meaning it may have been created about the 10th century— about 800 years after the last New Testament books were written), that implies that it “proves” that Jesus had a wife— which it does not. Reading the article, the researchers themselves make clear this is a *Gnostic* text. The Gnostics were not Christians, as the headline erroneously states, but were an esoteric dualist sect (similar to the modern New Age movement) that incorporated aspects of the beliefs of the religions around them, including Christianity. So, no— NO early Christians believed that Jesus was married.

Sounds legit. And by that I mean “are you kidding me?”
And if they’re doing it for the shock value, it’s not really shocking anymore. These stories at Easter time are about as spontaneous as a rocket launch.

Let me get this straight they found after all Mary Mageline marry Jesus OH OKAY WHATEVER ROFL
Somebody finds some 1500-year-old scrap papyrus that looks like it has “Jesus” and “my wife” in the same sentence, and they go “Aha! Jesus had a wife. Where is your god now, Xians?”
Somebody brings up a copy of the Bible, with four accounts of Jesus’ life, all traced back to the first century or very shortly thereafter, and 23 letters and books from the same timeframe, none of which mentions a wife, and they start sounding like Jeff Bridges as Jeff Lebowski: “Yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.”
This is exactly why Jesus instructs us to not do what the world does. Because if you do, then you will be deceived into believing that the people who go to these carnal institutions, are SMARTER than the average bear.
The philosophies of these institutions are designed only to condition you to serve the Beast.
