Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene and had two kids, new book claims



Christian orthodoxy doesn't really consider Jesus to have been much of a family man ? he told his disciples to leave their families and follow him, after all. But a new book based on a 1,500-year-old manuscript would dispute that characterization. According to The Lost Gospel, Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene ? who was also the Virgin Mary ? and they had two children. Jesus, Mary, and their children also escaped an assassination attempt years before Jesus was crucified.

The authors of this story are Barrie Wilson, a professor of religious studies at Canada's York University, and Canadian-Israeli screenwriter and documentarian Simcha Jacobovici, and they are basing their tale off the Ecclesiastical History of Zacharias Rhetor (of Mytilene), an Aramaic-language text that has been in the British Museum then the British Library for almost 170 years.
"Before anyone gets his/her theological back up, keep in mind that we are not attacking anyone's theology," the authors say. "We are reporting on text." Reporting is a little modest. Wilson and Jacobovici, who has made discredited claims about the historical Jesus before, more accurately "decoded" the text, which is about a man name Joseph and his wife, Aseneth ? characters that the authors say are stand-ins for Jesus and Mary Magdalene.

Green eggs and ham, old book claims. 

LOL, that must have come from The Onion. 

wasn't that a best-selling novel? 

just watch the foot stomping of the pious. 

Yea HOFN, I can be wrong about this, just an observation, and with exception, this seems to be the do loop on here.

1. There is a post or comment make that will obviously be in conflict with most of the Christian folks on here.

2. The Christian folks respond -

3. There is a page or 3 of fighting

4. There is outcry, mostly from the non-christians, that the board only talks about religion

5. The non-christians leave the conversation.

6. The Christian's argue amongst themselves for another page or two. 

LOL, that must have come from The Onion.

It's all over the news, many sources.
Further proof that you talk out your arse.

followed up by an ACORN, immigration, voter fraud or hate Obama thread.

The loop goes on and on.

LOL, it's just as much nonsense as if it did come from The Onion. 

Holy Soup attends the Church of Jacobson who professes Jesus married a prostitute.

I see you're making stuff up again. 

KU really could you a like button when people post comment. Liked HOFN & AMDG comments LOL

They do appear in the bible but not as Jesus and Mary M. Joseph and Zaphenath in Genesis

just because something is on the news doesn't make it fact or true. 

there was movie, presumably based on a book, that also said Jesus was married- it was about 25 yrs ago- Very controversial- I remember the theatre showing it was picketed, and for a long time, you couldn't rent it- I saw the movie and it made me cry- 

I googled it- The Last Temptation of Christ-
