Karen King discovered the ancient papyrus in which she discovered the 'Gospel of Jesus Wife'. This discovery has unleashed a new story which we thought we knew already. Another researcher Chirsitian Askeland, Assistant professor at Germany's Protestant university has uncovered this story as a forgery. He cut the nets of this story and proved that Harvard Professors are duped. The question is still there who forged these documents and why the Professor at the Harvard University were unable to identify those duped papyrus. Was it some sort of intellectual piracy? Religion is always very controversial and we have already done so many inventions in the name of religion. Now humanity really needs it that religion should be spared and humanity should be relieved from misadventures in the religion. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...a-forged-gospel-of-jesuss-wife/?wpisrc=nl_eve
The papyrus checks out--it is what is on it that is at issue. Good forgeries involve acquiring blank paper (or papyrus) from the time period. I have seen numerous shows and articles about it. Basically an authentic sheet of paper from say 1760's to 1780's would give a good forgery a great opportunity to forge a letter from Washington, Jefferson, etc. There was a lot of concern that rare and antique books were being destroyed by forgers just to get the blank pages from inside of them at the fronts and backs for their works.
The religion should be spared from forgeries, ruses and deception. This is just like playing with God.
Not really. Religion is probably the root of modern forgery given the apparent fetishism in the past of "authenticate" things linked to Jesus or the disciples. Churches have likely benefited more than they have ever lost due to it.
Authentic ancient documents are hard to come by, since the romans were searching homes of believers after they arrested them. The romans got all the writings, that was the major concern of the emperor. They wanted to know how believers got the power they had. Most writings found were eventually destroyed. The people of the WAY were arrested, murdered, had their documents confiscated, and their memory wipes out. That was, and still is the modus operandi of satan, destroy all evidence and wipe out the memory. He did it with the name of YAH 7000 times in the OT, and took out the name of Yahushua 1000 times in the NT. What other explanation could there be for the hatred of the name of God by jesus satans?
all religious documents are fakes, as in not really the "word" of a God... the hard part is "proving" it beyond a reasonable doubt to those that believe
