Pretty much the same way they cover politics or the latest news of the geriatric rock legends and talent deficient TV and movie stars. <br /><br />I'd much rather have some of the more obscure parables explained then I am in whether or not Jesus was happily married. Though I can't imagine what a Mrs. Jesus would have made of all that moving around, if she existed, that would have been between her and her husband. <br /><br />It will be a cold day in hell before they'll go into detail on the justice teachings. That wouldn't suit their advertisers and owners.

And would note the scholar who found this is only claiming it shows a wide diversity of opinion about Jesus and what was "Christian" in the early centuries before, basically, Constantine. <a href="http://www.esquire.com/blogs/politics/jesus-wife-12824136" rel="nofollow">Charles Pierce</a> had a good point on that.<br /><br />This fragment isn't going to upend anything. And as Sherri says, the text we already have is challenging enough, if we'd just pay attention to it.Rmjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811456254443706479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9479398.post-73176149536832664112012-09-19T00:29:51.895-05:002012-09-19T00:29:51.895-05:00Frankly, I don't care.

It now appears that this world-historical figure may have spent at least part of the "hidden years" as a spokesman and advertising shill:<br /><br />“Jesus said to them, ‘My wife...I think I'll keep her!"rick allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07612435616018593956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9479398.post-2281106142767283902012-09-18T19:25:46.008-05:002012-09-18T19:25:46.008-05:00"And Jesus said:
