There is much to debate and think about over the discovery of a business-card-sized papyrus which is put forth to be a fragment of a Gospel of Jesus' Wife. Interestingly, an entire document is missing, but we have in this fragment key words: Jesus, wife, and Mary.
Our postmodern world will celebrate this "find" as indisputable proof that Jesus Christ was nothing more than a mere man and married; denying entirely the Gospel of Jesus Himself (Mat 28:19-20; 1Co 15:1-5).
Jesus claimed to be more than a flesh and blood man (John 10:30 | 17:21). Unlike the apostle Peter, Jesus accepted worship (cp. Acts 10:25-26 with Mat 14:33; 28:9, 17). And unlike Peter, Jesus did not have a mother-in-law (Mat 8:14).
It is sometimes disgusting how far people will go to blaspheme the name of the Son of God. They do not want the truth, they do not seek the truth, and will do anything to make others disbelieve too.
Doubt is celebrated while the truth is maligned.
And these will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed — for our testimony to you was believed. To this end also we pray for you always that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire for goodness and the work of faith with power; in order that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. (2Th 1:9-12).
