Good article, Larry. While I have refrained from comment on your posts, as I don't hold the same position you do (and I hold the standard that on another's blog, decorum should be exercised; I didn't want to provide fuel for flames); I do agree that it's important to examine these things and question them. I lose a lot of support for my contemporaries when I say that, in my opinion, whether Christ was married or not is irrelevant. He may have been, there is certainly enough evidence even among the four gospels to mount a compelling argument (Wait'll I get around to my argument that Joseph, the father of Jesus, may have been a polygamist...THEN watch the flames fly...lol).
For the record, I have read the gnostic texts, and I encourage everyone to do so, even if they're just reading them to debunk them.
Anyway, I wanted to add comment off the main threads so as not to draw fire. I appreciate what you're doing.
