Jesus’ wife is The Church (All believers).
But that’s a bit too difficult for the “scholars” and CNN to understand....
These people are so predicable.
Ya think? DUH! It is amazing the things that people want to believe so as not to have to believe the real Biblical record!
What exactly does it say?
“Just like you, off stuffing your face with bread and drinking wine with your friends, while I’m left here with a screaming baby and a donkey to shovel-up after!”
We love to edit the Jesus story to our liking.
Any biblical scholar worth his salt learned in first year about the prevalence of spurious gospels and accounts of the life of Christ.
Many were written to advance a particular Christological heresy, some to fulfil natural curiosity about the unrecorded years of His life, and others to promote gnosis of the supposed secret teachings of Christ.
This fragment does no more than to add to the long list of pseudo-gospels, which were rejected for good reason from the Canon by the early Church—people in a position to know, unlike the journalists of today.
Realizing that this “gospel” is most likely a fake, a serious question: what would be the big deal if Jesus really did have a wife? Obviously, that would likely have been mentioned in one of the real gospels, so it’s pretty unlikely that Jesus was married, but what would be different if He was? Would Jesus not still be the Son of God? Would He still not have died so that we could be saved? Why is being married such a big issue?
“....scrap of papyrus, written in Coptic....”

What does the Coptic Church in Egypt have to say about it?
Why don’t they go to the source instead of guessing?
