Was Jesus Married? Ancient Papyrus Mentions His ‘Wife’:

This brings me a little closer to Jesus. Thinking he may have lived life as a married man. We must share some things.

After a long and hard day of sermonizing, Jesus comes home.

Jesus: "Hi Honey, I'm home."

Mary: "Hi Hon. What did you bring for dinner?"

Jesus: "Loaves and fishes"

Mary: "Again?!!!"

I don't believe this for one second because I know the Prophet Joseph Smith could have translated this Papyrus and seriously doubt his translation would be even remotely close to what this fool woman 'scholar' has claimed.

Priceless!

This provides further support to my thesis: Christ was a woman.

She was "killed" in order to develop a more comfortable religion. Nobody liked her audacious claim of being a powerful goddess within a patriarchal society.

She actually wasn't literally killed. She was metaphorically killed by replacing her name with that of her "husband" in the ancient texts.

[_why me]

I do believe that the LDS do believe that Jesus may have been married. This may go a little to show that the may have been right.

Let's give this a little scriptural context, shall we please:

I think a better translation might have been: "My wife are those who are able to be my disciples."


John 3: 29
29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

See here, so that scrap of Coptic writing is NOT the only mention of Christ having a wife.
And what does Jesus really mean about him being the bridegroom and who exactly IS his wife in the same context?


Isaiah 61: 10
10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

Revelation 19:7-8
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

Isaiah 62: 5
5 ¶ For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.

The saints or the church which is the body of saints, who have partaken of the gift and power of the Holy Ghost, are adorned as a bride/bridegroom over which the Lord shall rejoice to receive. These are those, like a bride, have given themselves wholly unto Christ by covenant which is accepted and sealed by the power of the Holy Ghost confirming that the binding covenant has in fact been made. This is the bride of Christ whom Christ shall own as his own, be they male or female, for this has nothing to do with any sort of sexual relationship, as God and Christ are not and neither can they be sexual beings, worlds without end.

This last point is something I could expound at some length, however, I perceive no interest here about it as I have mentioned this before only to be utterly ignored without so much as a second thought cast after it.

I didn't know you could translate! Where did you get your degree?

Yes. This is why the PR department should capitalize on this right now! They should head over to the BBC and tell the world about the doctrine of Jesus having been sealed to at least one woman via temple ordinances.

Zeezman, if you open up your understanding to the fact that God and Christ are NOT sexual beings then Jesus IS both male and female at the same time, a fullness of that duality abides with his intelligence which is greater than all others,(combined?) He was never differentiated and never diminished as the rebellious were not wont to suffer.

Christ gathers his chickens under her wing and nurtures them. He pained to deliver salvation, resurrection and eternal life. These attributes draw upon the female aspect of the Eternal God. Can you wrap you skull around a concept that God is wholly another creature higher than that of gendered men and women.

by the way this is also how it is that demons can manifest either male or female, as they are not held to one or the other even as native intelligence that cannot be created or made holds both aspects from all eternity.

Such is why Satan and his host chose to remain more like God than suffer to be differentiated by advancing to the seed bodies which consist of both spiritual and physical conceptions. For the seeds are in the bodies and not in the intellect. Only God has a body that sits upon the throne of his power that came without father and without mother having neither beginning of days nor end of years.

This greater understanding effectively kills LDS adolescent misunderstandings of what exaltation really is. It remains ONLY the continuation of the seeds. NOT GODHOOD except that they will continue to lay down their lives,(in Gardens of Eden) subject themselves to the NEW Christ by covenant and rise up to exaltation again to continue spiritual seeds and repeat. Hence, they are not like unto angels but more like unto God as they continue as Christ once before glorified the Father as he was about to do again and as he told the Jews "what and if you should see me where I was before" meaning sitting upon the very throne of power. John 6.

That is why the Holy Ghost is called precisely that, the Holy Ghost as he is that intelligence which vacated the Holy Father as they all moved a step on their eternal round of a course. D&C 35
And that is why the body Jesus took up again after his crucifixion was yet not perfected and glorified as it kept the marks of his suffering. This body must be discarded before his spirit steps to take possession of that body which always sits upon the very throne of power. Since his physical body was a clone of that body it IS the same body. Which all three share. (kind of weird, but they are one God.) So the great mystery of the three in one God is humbly here expounded in your reading of it.[if you got this far] lol

Of course, this part: "She will be able to be my disciple.” would be a problem.
