consider the source. The item was found on the antiquarian market NOT on a dig!

The Holy Spirit was in control when The Church assembled the cannon we know as the New Testament.


That Coptic papyrus fragment tells us nothing about Jesus

If it is real, and if King is reading it correctly, does the papyrus fragment show that Jesus had a wife? No. It shows that someone in the 3rd or 4th century said that Jesus had a wife. The person who allegedly wrote this fragment of a sentence would not have been an eyewitness to the life of Jesus, nor would he have met any eyewitnesses. The eyewitnesses—the Lord’s disciples—testified unanimously that Jesus did not have a wife. It’s difficult to see why this mysterious Coptic correspondent, arriving on the scene a few centuries after the fact, should be taken more seriously.
