Um. Duh. Bible believing Christians know/knew this was fake.

[Salman]

There were all manner of fake gospels current in the second century, and a manuscript of one of them is not "fake" in the sense of being a modern forgery.

This is not just a "fake gospel" it is a "fake fake gospel".

How would Jesus being married or not affect his divinity one way or the other?

[Vermont Lt]

Why? It would not be unreasonable for a 30 year old Jewish man in those days to have a wife. I cannot point to one in the bible, but I don’t think there is outright statement that he did not have a wife at some time.

In fact, in those days it would not be unusual to have a wife that died in childbirth.

Of course, it be hooves the Roman church for him to never have been married. Think of all f the land and goodies the church would have lost if “their guy” could be married and have heirs.

It doesn’t matter to me, not does it make a difference in his message.
