Did Jesus have a wife?

[Faithfree]

Did Jesus have a wife? Some fourth century Coptics apparently thought so, if this new text is genuine. Personally, I'll hold to the notion that Jesus was gay. I mean, come on, you can't ignore all those older references to the twelve boyfriends...

'Wife of Jesus' reference in Coptic 4th Century script

An ancient scrap of papyrus makes explicit reference to Jesus having a wife, according to a renowned expert in Christian history.

Harvard divinity professor Karen King unveiled the 4th-Century Coptic script at a conference in Rome.

She said researchers had identified the words "Jesus said to them, 'my wife'", which might refer to Mary Magdalene.

Christian tradition holds that Jesus did not marry - but Ms King said in early years it was subject to debate.

The provocative find could spark debate over celibacy and the role of women within Christianity, she added.

I'm fairly sure he was gay.

Both Jesus and Paul were gay. Ringo and George were not, they shared wives. John had Yoko so I guess we don't know.

[Thinking Aloud]

I remember reading an argument that suggested that (in the culture of the time) it would be extremely unlikely for a man who wasn't married to be taken seriously enough to become a 'teacher'. But that was years ago, and I can't remember where I read it, or anything.

Pretty much cements John's gayness...

Jesus was holy and he would never have allowed his willy to be played with. What on earth are you thinking!?

[Sean Hayden]

Now, willies being played with. -thanks

[Atheist-Lite]

Jesus married and then he had one of the men. This is known but what isn't written could fill a book. He played away from home and did it with animals too if the direction of those pigs are anything to go by. Typical cult leader with a insatiable sexual appetite.

[That Alien Guy.]

Gavoid had 3 egg bearing slaves, if that's what you mean.

[Rum]

Easter eggs?

A writing 400 years later? Hardly definitive. We might as well be reading Harry Potter.

Jesus potter came to me last night and told me how he had caused JKRowling to reveal his story and that furth...

There is no evidence of Jesus doing the washing-up, or helping to choose curtains, so I call shenanigans...
