Was Jesus Married? Old Papyrus Mentions ‘Wife’
We’ve seen Islamic right-wingers streaming and screaming into the streets, rioting and burning and murdering over perceived offenses, let’s see if the XnRt go ballistic about this, Jesus married? Bearing in mind that the Nicene Creed, which like it or not is the central statement of Christian orthodoxy, says that Jesus “was made man,” or as the new restored version has it, “became truly human.” Being made man, becoming truly human, would include all of it, no?, puberty, adolescence, youthful maturing, eh? With all the implications that are unthinkable for the Great Unthinking. “Otherwise” is not truly human, is it. A wife? Can’t hardly get no more manly and truly human than having a girlfriend and desiring to -- marry her.
Comes to mind Lamb: The Gospel According To Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal (Christopher Moore, Harper-Collins 2004). The adventures of Josh and Biff gets tiresome at times, but absurdist humor, a good spoof, though not as delightful as Jesus and the Sweet Pilgrim Baptist Church by Clayton Sullivan.
... truly human ... surely even the darkest theologians or most dour puritans in their pietistic straitlaced prudery wouldn't deny Him life’s greatest joy and blessing of love
Verily.
