I doubt that this is true. No woman would marry a man who was always right.

Well that's why I asked if I was understanding Punch correctly, because it strikes me as distasteful but could have a reasonable explanation...
Habte explained my position quite well. Consider the concept of apostasy. One cannot apostatize if they were never part of "the Bride of Christ". Yet the Scriptures tell us that there will be a great apostasy. Christ Himself even asked if He would find Faith. Are there any of us here that have not committed adultery against our Bridegroom when we give in to the seduction of the Devil? |

Who declared it 'authentic'? The Church? And if not the Church, then what does calling it 'authentic' even mean? Probably just "really, really old", which, yeah okay fine, but who really cares? Lots of writings are really old. It doesn't make them true.
The whole topic is ridiculous, for even those monks, who reached a higher plane of human existence, have been able to free themselves of all physical desires, so how can one say that God was not free? That those outside of Christianity should even consider it a topic of discussion, only shows their ignorance of Christianity.  |

It turns out that Mary Magdalene's middle name was "Ecclesia". |

I remember reading one author assert that since Jesus was at the Marriage at Cana around the age that Jewish teenagers of that era were usually wed, this was proof that He was married.

 All the more instances as to why I strongly suggest that the Bible come with a Spiritual Parental Advisory Warning to warn folks not to read the Bible without the assistance of their spiritual fathers, and if they have none, then firsts things first, get one! stay blessed, habte selassie |

Of course they would. DaVinci Code and all that. Remember all those popes of the early centuries sending out squadrons of monks with axes to suppress the truth in between getting martyred? |

Not to be flippantly dismissive, but something of such a personal nature as this is best addressed by your priest, not by anonymous yahoos on an Internet discussion forum.

I am informed that I violated a rule by posting this link alone. I hereby rectify that situation by posting the video description: "The Christian world is reeling from the discovery of an ancient document suggesting that Jesus was married. And by "reeling from" I mean "not in the slightest bit affected by." Here's why." |
