You'll have to go to the article for the 5 questions. One should have been why a tiny fragment from possibly the 4th. Cen. would be puffed up into a "Gospel of Jesus' Wife" when it is no such thing.

King seems anxious to turn a few lines of unknown origin into new insights into early Christian belief, etc., etc.

"www.christianpost.com/.../the-gospel-of-jesus-wife-ancient-fragment" gives a few more details.

Why do we need this fragment to tell us this? There are numerous references to the bride of Jesus in the accepted NT.

a 4th century parchment in coptic is highly questionable.

if it were a 1st century parchment in Hebrew/aramaic, maybe

There is no evidence that Jesus had a wife.

There is most likely no evidence that he did not have a wife.

One would think that the apostles would speak of Jesus’ wife in later writings after Jesus had been executed. Yet there is no mention of a wife.

Teh only mention of this is from that crackpot Dan Brown.

No worries, Andria Mitchell " authenticated the unknown sources " .. sarcasm

She is one of those people trying to discredit Christianity, so this should violate those blasphemy laws Obama wants.

The rest of the sentence is cut off.

That's just too convenient, Dear Watson.

No Christian worth his/her salt believes that Christ had a flesh wife. There is great distinction in the Written word between what the Creator and His Only Begotten Son said and what other supernatural and flesh beings had to say. Why even the devil in his supernatural body tempted Christ and offered him alll IF Christ would bend His knee to the devil. Maybe Harvard is gearing up to declare the devil ‘god’ given what the devil is said to have said.

It is my understanding that there may have been 20 people named Jesus when Christ was alive. Many claimed to be the Messiah. A fragment written about the time of Muhammad removes much viability. Coptic's have other questionable writings.

Yawn. Much like they tried to foist off on us the SECRET GOSPEL OF MARK and the Gospel of Thomas.

I’ll pass until a brave scholar finds evidence that Mohammed took a 9 year child bride.

Quick and easy response. Answers to the five questions:

1. No one has any idea. Therefore it is most likely to be a fake, whether faked long ago or more recently.

2. No.

3. Nothing.

4. No.

5. Who knows. It doesn’t matter.

See, that was easy.

Now if the parchment just showed Jesus’ wife to be a guy...why..we’d be on to something.

Ephesians 5:25-27 ESV

Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.

My answer: I don’t take one unverified fragment as gospel.

People are so fixated on the idea of God coming down to have sex with His creation. It’s really a perversion of the mind of man.
