Update on the Jesus/Wife Coptic Papyrus Fragment

 
Evidently, things are beginning to unravel regarding the coptic papyrus that vaguely referred to Jesus having a wife.  At this point, signs are definitely pointing to a forgery and possibly a modern forgery.  It's a shame that we live in a culture that is fascinated by conspiracies (ie - Jesus had a wife) but when they are shown to be highly doubtful, this new information doesn't appear on the cover of Time magazine.  

For a brief update, Dr. Craig Evans, a New Testament scholar shares this information on the topic.
