BOSTON (TheBlaze/AP) — A Harvard University professor has unveiled a fourth century fragment of papyrus that she says is the only existing ancient text that quotes Jesus explicitly referring to having a wife.

Karen King, an expert in the history of Christianity, says the text contains a dialogue in which Jesus refers to ‘‘my wife,’’ whom he identified as Mary. King says the fragment of Coptic script is a copy of a gospel, probably written in Greek in the second century.

King unveiled the fragment of the ‘‘Gospel of Jesus’s Wife’’ in Rome on Tuesday. She says it doesn’t prove Jesus was married but speaks to issues of family and marriage that faced Christians.

King says on a Harvard website that the dialogue includes the disciples discussing whether Mary is worthy and Jesus saying ‘‘she can be my disciple.’’
“This fragment suggests that some early Christians had a tradition that Jesus was married,” King told The New York Times. “There was, we already know, a controversy in the second century over whether Jesus was married, caught up with a debate about whether Christians should marry and have sex.”

King claims she received an email in 2010 from a private collector who requested she translate the ancient text. King, 58, has reportedly written books on the Gospel of Judas, the Gospel of Mary of Magdala, Gnosticism and women in antiquity.
The man who actually made the discovery asked not be be identified because, “He doesn’t want to be hounded by people who want to buy this,” King said.
Though many questions still remain, the discovery could again bring up theories that Mary Magdalene was Jesus’s wife and whether he had a female disciple.

My thoughts on this,
It is my belief is that he was married to Mary, he did have a wife, as it makes complete sense to me, if Jesus Christ was our perfect example in all things, part of what his Father in Heaven commanded the children of Adam and Eve was to marry and to have children, so for me at least it makes perfect sense, as he tells us to marry and raise families in order to fully understand life here on Earth and in Eternity, part of Eternal progression is Family Based lives.

So I know I am controversial on  this, however after the Original 12 Apostles were killed, and other leaders Christ put in charge there was a falling away of truth, and stories as well.... many versions of Christianity came forth, the largest would be the Catholic's of course. Eventually even they splintered as the Holy Bible was printed in other languages, and became available to the normal common person to read. The Reformation took place a great awakening. Many other churches developed over time from this era in history. 

So there have been legends, myths about this topic. Now I see this as a possible  verification of it.
Either way it will not tarnish my personal knowledge that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the World for all humankind, he is the literal Son of God the Father, he is the light of truth for all, and will be the final judge of all humankind for their actions or in actions during their lives here on Earth. May we all find Christ, and live good lives following his example on how to treat one another as we can read in the Gospels in the Holy Bible.  This truth I know and do bear testimony of its reality.

God Bless America, and the whole Earth to some day find the True Peace as taught by Jesus Christ. Let us all have our Free Agency to choose Good and light vs. Evil and darkness, remain and be available for ever. Let no government take that agency from us for it was Granted by God.

Lazeria Map Collection: Is the Earth Hollow? Interesting theory?

Due to the many stories and myths about the lost history or hidden facts about an unknown land to the North of North America and the other nations of the Northern hemisphere.
I add this as food for thought, as these people walk us through some facts of ancient to modern maps and map makers it is a very intriguing theory based upon what they have to share.

I say if your mind is open and creative it is a fun journey in the listening / watching of this video.
Then you have to opportunity to verify for one's self what they share.

Much is known, much is unknown about our planet Earth, I do know that through out the ages, those who rule make the history to be passed on, so things can be lost, and found.

Since the blog is for Hidden or lost information, then I shall add this, as Some Native American's do speak of emerging from the inner earth or under world, some speak of races they had interactions with as well. The Vikings of Greenland speak of a lost city where one of their own disappeared to the lands of the north long ago, and the Inuit speak of watching them walk northward.

Many things still left to find in the puzzle known as the history and doings of life on Earth.
Let us all enjoy our journey of discovery, may we always keep and open mind, for that which today we may call fact of science, just a few years in the future will be scoffed at with us being the silly people as they find new evidences for the science that will be known then verses now.

Good journey.
