Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
A Harvard professor who presented an ancient piece of papyrus she called the Gospel of Jesus’ Wife” is now claiming she had additional proof that the document is real.
Karen L. King claims that professors from Columbia, Harvard and MIT have performed “extensive testing” and that they have found no indications that the document is a modern forgery.
The Boston Globe said the professor claims the document likely came from eighth-century Egypt. However, the newspaper also said that a master forger could access the proper materials and because the piece of papyrus is so small they could not do the traditional ink-dating tests.
One critic says the document is clearly a fake.
Brown Egyptology professor Leo Depuydt sayd the document contains “gross grammatical errors” that no one who was a native speaker of Coptic would be making in their writing.
Karen King who has never challenged the document says it doesn’t prove Jesus was married but she said that she wants people to discuss why Jesus being married makes any difference rather than be concerned if the document is authentic.
