What Difference Does it Make if Jesus Married?

It matters greatly for a very simple reason. If Jesus Christ actually had married, then the Bible isn’t true.

The problem with books and movies like The DaVinci Code isn’t that faithful and true believers will read or watch them and start believing things that aren’t true. It is that people who aren’t faithful and true believers will be misled.

I respectfully beg to differ with Gary. Whether or not Jesus was married and/or had a child, that doesn’t mean that the Bible isn’t “true”. It doesn’t mean Jesus’ teachings don’t have value or ring true. It doesn’t make him any less of an extraordinary example of love, kindness and generosity.

I’m no Bible scholar or authority or historian. However, it does seem to me that the Bible was written by and/or compiled by men who either had an agenda or who were well-intentioned but subjective in their selection of what was included or excluded from the New Testament (if you seriously believe that the writings in the New Testament were the ONLY things written about that period in history, then I think you are misleading yourself). I’m a writer, and all writers write subjectively, through the filter of their own experiences and beliefs. The authors of the books of the Bible are no different. They were human, and therefore fallible. Maybe they left some things out. Maybe they WANTED to see Jesus as “divine” and that’s how they wrote it. Or maybe the men who compiled these writings into what we now call The Bible selected the writings that best fit their desire to show Jesus as divine.

Can’t Jesus be both human AND divine? Can’t we all? I’d sure like to think so.

In my mind, the idea that Jesus was “just” a man (something I believed anyway, long before The DaVinci Code came about) makes him and his teachings even MORE accessible, MORE believable, and MORE inspiring. Because if he WAS “just” a man and STILL was able to have such an impact on the world through his life, his work and his death — to me that is even more extraordinary than if he was “only” of divine origin.

Just my 2 cents.

I disagree with lisa Taylor Huff and agree with Gary Petersen, Jesus could not have been married or the bible would not be true, but it is true. In her opinion it does not matter but this is not about her opinion it is about what is true and what is not. The bible is true, Jesus died for our sins and never did it mention or imply that he was married. When he was on the cross and about to die he told some of the disciples to take care of his mother, if he were married he would have mentioned his wife also while on the cross but he did not because he was never married. He came to die for our sins, and if you let him into your heart, the holy spirit, you will be saved and you will also come to know him as Lord.

Lisa, the Bible isn’t like the writing that you or anyone else does. Please don’t take that as demeaning to you, but the Bible is different. Here is part of why I believe that.

2 Timothy 3:15-16 KJV – And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

The Bible is different because it is holy and was given to us by God’s inspiration, not by the men that wrote it.

And this:

2 Peter 1:19-21 KJV – We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake [as they were] moved by the Holy Ghost.

The Bible is a more sure word of prophecy and was written because holy men of God were moved by the Holy Ghost. Your writing is not like that. My writing is certainly not like that.

As for being both human and divine, Jesus certainly was, but you and I are certainly not. Nor is any other man or woman who has ever lived or is living or will live. Again, I believe this because of what is written in the Bible.

Romans 3:23 KJV – For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Isaiah 53:6 KJV – All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Man can never be divine. We are all born to sin, because of Adam’s sin in the Garden of Eden and the curse that was placed on all mankind because of that sin.

When we are saved, we are freed from the consequences of our sin, but we don’t stop being sinful people. That only will change when Jesus comes back and we are taken up with Him.

Don’t forget that Jeses, though he became a child of man and walked on the earth as a man, was still always deity also. If Jesus had been only a man, then He would have been a sinner also. And if He were a sinful man, the He could not have been the atonement for our sins. He would not have been perfect and would not have been suitable as a sacrifice to a pure, perfect, and holy God the Father.

The things that Jesus said and did have lasting meaning only and specifically because He was also God.

Saving to the blood line of Our Lord God Jesus Christ

Jesus was married!! He said he got married for us. I’m writing a book to tell all of you the truth and how Jesus will married you just like he did for me on May 31, 2007. There are people out there who think being signal is perfect. Being signal only get you to HELL.

I have wondered about this very thing myself. What difference would it have made if Jesus was indeed married? Jesus was definitely the Son of God (i.e. God in the flesh), but He was also fully human. And to respond to those who feel that the Bible would not be true if Jesus were married, my question is why? The Bible does not contain every detail of the life of Jesus. If it did, then there would not be all of those missing years between Jesus as a child in the Temple and His appearance at the Jordan River when He was baptized. The DaVinci Code is a fictional book and movie; the author himself admits that on the pages before the book even begins. But the possibility of Jesus being married is not totally out of the question.

Many syncretistic religions formed gnosticism. Gnosticism was rivaling against Christianity and gnosticism held itself better religion as Christianity was. Word gnosticism comes from Greek word gnosis, which means knowledge. Gnosticism had various effects, for instance, some Gnostics taught that divinity can be achieved through unity of the man and woman. This thought led some Gnostics to reach for divinity through sexual intercourse between the man and woman. There existed also some Gnostics, who abstained from sexual intercourse. When we know the fact that Gnostics held Christians as their enemies and that Gnostics held themselves better as Christians and that Gnostics wanted to show in every way that Gnosticism was better as Christianity, so Gnostics made so called gnostic gospels were they twisted, slandered and misrepresented the real gospels. Gnostics went so far in this misrepresent that they wrote “new gospels” by faking the real gospels. In these faked gospels Gnostics wrote that Jesus Christ was an ordinary man who has a sexual relationship with Mary Magdalene.

I wonder why we are so bothered of marrying of Jesus.It really doesn’t matter if he was or not coz the bible is not about the life of jesus it is about the sacrifice and love of god and his son.If jesus was married then also we cant say that bible is not true coz bible is not eaxctly for the glory of jesus fact bible is about us and the way we should live.
