Dr. Couch, I have heard recently in the secular media that Christ was married. Where do they get such ideas?
ANSWER:
In the early centuries of the church there were spurious and cultish
writings by heretics who created fiction about Christ and the apostles,
with absolutely no credibility or historical authority. Most of those
writings have been buried in the grave of the absurd but only recently
revived with the attack against Christianity increasing. My book
entitled God Has Spoken (AMG Publications) deals with the issue of the
inerrancy and inspiration of Scripture, and the issue of canonicity of
the Bible. We can see historically how the church recognized what was
Scripture and what was not. That battle has long ago been fought. But of
course the liberal media likes to revive such strange stories because
it makes for such good press, peppered with sensationalism!
I cannot tell you right now all of the sources for this material, but I
can assure you that they are bogus. Check with a large bookstore or
library. But be careful. Some people just seem to gravitate to the
bizarre and the silly beliefs that are out in the hinterland. Do not be
sucked in!
Thanks for asking!
Dr. Mal Couch
