I know, it’s frustrating when people make claims like this.

Until Tuesday, Dr. King had shown the fragment to only a small circle of experts in papyrology and Coptic linguistics, who concluded that it is most likely not a forgery
Until its proven 100% authentic to come from the time frame stated, it's fake. Even if it is authentic, it doesn't prove anything as it is only a fragment. The text could literally mean anything, as viewing from a fragment stand point is inconclusive. No reputable scholar would make a statement based on a message fragment.

Then I guess Twitter will never be a reliable historic record. ;)

Just as He didn’t “fit” in His own time, He doesn’t “fit” in these times.
Some people will do all they can to deny Him, twist His words or try to remake Him according to their own philosophy.
It is a fool’s quest.
Jesus is eternal.

Women have not been written out of the picture.
That is a fallacy.
Women are mentioned many times in the New Testament and were among Jesus’ followers.
There is no perversion in the Gospels or the books of the NT that follow them.
To compare Christianity in any way to Islam is perverted.

I wasted not a shred of time on that garbage even though people told me it was a “good read.”

<<<<>>> Not funny, but an evil plot by men to deny women their rightful place and the power Jesus intended them to have. The written evidence of His marriage was quickly disposed of in order to keep women down.

It seems you have a very good argument for his being married. He would have stuck out like a sore thumb in that time if he was unmarried. Somebody would have commented on his single status, but they did not.

Any news on his alleged brother Luci? (A boy named Luci, you ask? Ask Bishop Mittens, that’s his area of expertise.)

I wonder what Professor Karen King’s wives think about this.
I wonder if the above fragment, written in ancient HTML, will be recovered in 1,600 years?)

Much of the faith and its continuity is based and central to a strong family. This means marriage, fidelity etc etc between a man and a woman.
I am not trying to be rude, but even though you may hear a lot about family in church you do not read much of it in the gospel.
In fact among other things in matt 10:36 Jesus said, And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.
And no doubt Jesus experienced this himself, most likely his mother and the ones called his sisters and brothers.
I think where the perversion exists is for people to claim to be Christian but spend their entire life trying to prove the words of Christ to be garbage.

I have asked Orthodox rabbis they cannot find a requirement in the Talmud that requires a rabbit to be married. Bunnies worldwide rejoice.

This post gave me two thoughts:
1) That woman looks deranged.
2) Since Jewish law forbade unmarried men from teaching children, this sheds new light on the Scripture passage where the Apostles tried to keep the little children from bothering Him. Maybe they wanted the children to go away because He was unmarried!
