Mrs. Jesus?

A recent article discusses a tiny piece of papyrus that suggests that Jesus had a wife. This discovery, though important, may not be that much of a revelation. Much of the bible was altered by Emporer Constantine in 325 AD. Several gospels were removed including those of Judas and Mary Magdelene according to many scholars. Is it really that big of a stretch to believe that someone with the obvious charisma of Jesus at the age of 33 was married? Only future discoveries will be able to confirm or deny.

  1. Don't forget the Gospel of Thomas, "He would often kiss Mary on her [missing piece]." The legend of "Black Sarah," a slave girl said to assist Mary Magdelene who became Saint Sarah.

  2. The changes that happen are just crazy to think about because there is always a back story. And now, with our culture as it is, people are typically stuck in their ways and have closed the minds to certain possibilities. Quite an interesting find if expanded!
