Quote: CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — A historian of early Christianity at Harvard Divinity School has identified a scrap of papyrus that she says was written in Coptic in the fourth century and contains a phrase never seen in any piece of Scripture: “Jesus said to them, ‘My wife …'”
The faded papyrus fragment is smaller than a business card, with eight lines on one side, in black ink legible under a magnifying glass. Just below the line about Jesus having a wife, the papyrus includes a second provocative clause that purportedly says, “she will be able to be my disciple.”
At least in this tradition you don't have to worry about your godboy being gay.
There were all kinds of stories about Jesus. There was one also in Coptic I believe that said Jesus had a twin brother. That should complicate matters more than having a wife. Would the twin brother be a man-god too?
