Did the thing have THESE caractors on it???
Sounds like an ancient version of the Magic 8 Ball.
Divination is a sin (Deut 18:10). The bible would not encourage this evil practice. This find is a demonic work.

“Gospel of Mary’s Third Husband” is coming sooner or later
‘The Lots of Mary’.
I didn’t know she was into real estate.
> Where did it come from?
The text is now owned by Harvard University’s Sackler Museum. It was given to Harvard in 1984 by Beatrice Kelekian, who donated it in memory of her husband, Charles Dikran Kelekian. Charles’ father, Dikran Kelekian (1868-1951), was “an influential trader of Coptic antiquaries, deemed the ‘dean of antiquities’ among New York art dealers,” Luijendijk wrote in her book.
It is not known where the Kelekians got the gospel. Luijendijk searched the Kelekian family archive but found no information about where the text came from or when it was acquired.
One would think the origin coming from such an important lineage would be passed down from generation to generation. One would aslo wonder why it would be written in Coptic Egyptian when she spoke Aramic and most likely Greek and Hebrew? I think a little investigation is in store before they can claimed to be authentic...
Pagan Egypt was rotten with diviners and was a stronghold of Gnosticism in the Christian era, so this isn’t surprising. Instead of flipping open some pagan text at random, a nominal Christian in 6th century Alexandria flipped open this book. Some folks are weak.
I actually own “The Gospel of Mary” .. I also own the Gnostic Gospels ... you need to know what Satan is doing
Sure......
Just another gnostic text penned hundreds of years after after the events.

Someone's just trying to cash in on the fact that Purim's coming up!
