So...Jesus had a wife?

[hanselthecaretaker]

A Harvard historian has identified a faded, fourth-century scrap of papyrus she calls "The Gospel of Jesus's Wife." One line of the torn fragment of text purportedly reads: "Jesus said to them, 'My wife …'" The following line states, "she will be able to be my disciple."

That was pretty much understood. You don't make to your 30's in those days as a Jew - single. Mary Magdalene was most likely his wife and the re-writers made her a whore to fit her in somewhere. She is in the last supper painting.

Yhe incident at a wedding where Jesus fought with his Mother was most likely his wedding - from what I read…

You were correct on everything accept this^^^

It most certainly has not been understood by anybody accept a very very very small handful of people in the world who are willing to look at reality objectively. Congratulations if you're one of them but in no way shape or form was the fact Jesus was married "implicitly" understood by anyone let alone christians.

No wonder he was so eager to be crucified. It's certainly better than marriage.

Objective reality? What? Lol! I live in a world where professional historians use historiography to sort out what probably happened. There has been no credible historian that would claim Jesus was probably married or that it was "understood" that he was married. There was no evidence, no heaps of legit sources that claim he was married, though now with this piece of evidence (which has no historical significance yet I want to add, it has no authenticity) they might be able to construct something a little differently. We'll have to see what happens with this. It came out of Egypt...it is interesting.

Jesus had many hoes on his tip, with his flowing locks, bulging loan cloth and rippled physique. I am sure that Jesus in many regards was like a modern day SB, except about 70 pounds lighter and less likely to smack a bitch in the mouth.
