'Jesus Wife' fragment: confirmed as authentic.

The story told by CNN only proves another time that the eggheads should get out more and learn about real life:

One of the most anticipated articles in religion circles will be absent from the pages of the January edition of the Harvard Theological Review. Harvard Divinity School professor Karen King's final article on the "Jesus wife" fragment did not make the scholarly journal because further testing on the Coptic papyrus fragment has not been finished.
And what is the questionable text they are arguing about? The whole issue concerns six words:
Jesus said to them, 'My wife...'
And they (the eggheads) are so naive as to consider the text to be cut off.

When every married man knows only too well that starting a sentence with the words 'My wife...', one usually stops at this point. Of course he was married, what else do you need as proof?

So there.

How about finding Jesus' ketubah? That would be real proof. I wonder if it would have the Lieberman Clause?

I hear there was a really nasty custody battle when his second marriage ended.

Yeah. Witnessed by the mayor of Bethlehem for preference.

Jesus in particular and Christianity in general is fair game to these clowns. Mo, now, not at all. Course his wives were all pre-pubescent. Probably a few toddlers, even.

Yup. Still was he married or wasn't, which is the crux of the matter? Being a rabbi, he should have been...

Jesus had a wife, WOW! Talk about a game changer! There goes nearly two thousand years of the Catholic Church saying that priests could not marry, women could not become priests, etec. The next question would be did Jesus & wife have children?!

Excellent one, David. Now it may put the whole 2000 years into a total disorder... wait a minute, it is in a total disorder anyway. Oh well.
