I am a layman. But because the size of the fragment, according to the NY Times is smaller than a business card, then we have no context. (1) Who don't know who this Jesus was, but it wasn't Jesus Christ. (2) Jesus Christ had a wife--a bride. In the New Testament, his wife is called The Church of Jesus Christ. In Tanakh (the Old Testament), his bride is the Jewish people. In only non-canonical works (usually gnostic gospels) is there any hint that Jesus the Messiah (the Christ) had a human spouse. That means, discount this story in its entirety.) (3) Context is king. Without context, we have nothing on which to base any interpretation.

Liberal theologians would like nothing better than to lower the Lord Jesus Christ to the level of human being. They are playing with their eternal destinies in doing so. (Yes, Libertarians, that means I believe there is a Hell.)

Yeah, that, and to remake Almighty God in *their* image.

Fool’s errands. Literally.
