IN the NEWS - Jesus Wife:5 Questions for the Discovery of the papyrus

Harvard Professor Karen King

In case you have not heard--someone found an old papyrus that claims Jesus is refering to His wife--
But it has to answer 5 Questions according to ReligionNewsService--so let's take a look at the five Questions from ReligionNewsService and give an answer ourselves...

"The fourth-century fragment says, "Jesus said to them, 'My wife ...,'" according to King. The rest of the sentence is cut off. The fragment also says "she will be able to be my disciple," according to King. But even King acknowledged that questions remain about the receipt-sized scrap, which contains just 33 words and incomplete sentences. Here are five of the biggest questions.

1. Where did the papyrus come from?
We don't know. King says that "nothing is known about the circumstances of its discovery," an admission that has raised red flags for other scholars. The papyrus now belongs to an anonymous collector who asked King to analyze it. King says three scholars have determined that the fragment is not a forgery, but that further tests will be conducted on the ink.
--Sounds to me like just another Gnostic writing (Gnostics were kind of "new-age' type pseudo-Christians in the early church, basically heretics)--

2. Does it prove that Jesus was married?
No. King says the fragment is a fourth-century translation of a second-century Greek text. It's not quite old enough to prove that Jesus was married, King says -- only that early Christians discussed it.
--So what's new about that? This likely Gnostic scrap makes news?--

3. What do other ancient texts say about Jesus being married?
The Bible, of course, says nothing about Jesus marrying,...Some of the Gnostic gospels -- ancient texts unearthed in the 20th century that are not included in the Christian canon -- suggest that Jesus had an intimate relationship with Mary Magdalene. The apocryphal Gospel of Philip, for example, says that Jesus kissed Mary, and loved her more than the apostles.
--Gnostic Nonsense--

4. Will this change contemporary Christianity?
King said her discovery could cause believers to rethink their assumptions about early Christian debates over marriage, celibacy and family.
--How so? Gnostics said alot of things like this...So?--

5. How will the Vatican respond?" ReligionNewsService
--Why does the Vatican warrant a whole question out of 5 to themselves? LOL--

This isn't worth the time of Christianity to take this scrap of gnostic nonsense serious
