The intention of Kumar is very clear and we have no medicine or treatment here. There are lots of Internet Hawkers, and so many vulgar things written on Internet every day by such people. Anybody can spread any nonsense through Internet, as it is open to all. Bible criticism written through Internet is anti ethical. Bible is a Holy Book read and accepted by Christians and at Churches. Discrimination is in the blood of some people. Can't help.

Hi Kumar,
Get your facts from the Bible itself regarding Jesus and His life.
Not from writings on the internet and so on..you will
not grasp anything from writers who are out there to
discredit the life and ministry of Jesus. This is sign
of endtimes which Jesus spoke of in the Bible where
many will claim to be Jesus and false prophets will
arise against the church.
First of all Jesus did not have a wife..get that
straight. Don't argue or form conclusions unless you
are well versed in the Bible.
May God bless your endeavour in your search for the
truth and may you be set free in your spirit to
experience the deeper truths hidden in the Holy
Scriptures.
God bless you Kumar,
Anita
