Was Jesus in fact Married

Okay...everyone is talking about the movie the Da Vinci code...which is of course based on the book and that book is based on yet another book "Holy Blood, Holy grail" What do you think was christ married to Mary Magdalen or is it just a lot of nonsense?


  • He was born without sin. He died without sin

    What made his sacrifice so momentous is that He died without sin, He left this earth in the same manner He came; sinless. I'm not sure about the names, but nowhere in the New Testament says He was married, and that's a detail that I don't think they would've left out if it did happen. If he did marry, to whom? And when? Where? Galilee? I don't know. And no we don't need a priest to get iinto heaven, we just need to accept Him as our Lord and Savior, because that's what He is.

    P.S. I was talking about the having children thing... I don't think He was married or had kids cuz it's not in the Bible. If it was there, fine.

  • The Legacy of His Blood

    Of course Jesus was married, I mean seriously if you look at the time frame and country he lived in, his not being married is out of the question...in several places in the New Testement he is referred to as Rabbi, which in itself tells us he was married. There was no such thing as an unmarried Rabbi. So if he was infact married, being that there was no birth control at the time, chances are pretty damn good that he had at least one child.

    So what is the big deal...why does the church hate the idea so much...they claim Jesus was God in the flesh...so in that case it is only logical that he would live like an ordinary man...no where does Jesus condem Sex, marriage or women...if he did not consider it a sin...why in his name is the Catholic church so utterly stubborn about his not ever having had sex?

    Quite simply put...it is about power...they fear anything they think will allow man to think for himself...well guess what, it is to late, we have already learned to think for ourselves and we aren't going to be quite anymore...Christ was married, he had children and if you are luck you might get to meet his desendants someday...but not until the church realizes that it is not their blood that is dangerous, it is the truth that they should fear...we were all created in his image and we are all divine...we have no need of a priest to get us into heaven...heaven belongs to us already!!!

  • Please-The Book is Fiction!!!!!!!!

    Almost all of the arguments I have seen posted here are things that are not even true from the book, the Da Vinci Code. There is No proos of Jesus' marriage, and the fact that he was called rabbi holds no water.

  • Does it really matter?

    Whether or not Jesus was married has absolutely NO bearing on the truth of the Gospel. If Jesus was married, then he was married. If he wasn't, he wasn't. Either way, that does nothing to change the words he said or the example he set for all of us.

    In short, this whole Da Vinci Code thing is just a waste of time. It isn't critical to your salvation, it isn't even a point of doctrine worth trifling over, and it isn't proveable one way or the other until after we all die, so who really cares?

  • Was he married?

    I'd highly doubt he wasn't. During those times it would have been strange for a man so old NOT to have a wife or more. He did in fact have siblings, society alone points to that.

  • Piece it together

    He was married, and he was mortal. Look at the logical point of view, for a moment. Just forget everything you know about the "son of god" and just open your mind. Now, this may be hard to follow. Look at Ghandi, he was an icon, and could have been made into something bigger. Why could Jesus be any different. People find qualities and then they save them. The one way to save them is through written words, either in stories or poems. We do that now, and or course things get distorted over time. But also, look at Holy Blood/Holy Grail, and of course The Da Vinci Code. Why would the Church raise such hell about a simple little book. If they know what they are teaching is true and golden, why are they afraid of something so simple? When you know something is true you are not afraid of stupid things. But if you know its false then you dont want anything to raise doubt, because then the truth can be revealed. Think about it. If people began to read things with the truth in it, something inside them would click after awhile. And then what would happen to the "great religious empire"? Because it is in fact like an empire in some aspects. Now would the great Roman Emperor want to see his Roman Empire destroyed? Of course not. Power is a very bad thing when not controlled. Once you have it, you never want to let it go. This is just my opinion.

  • The Evidence Suggests that He May Have Been Married

    The Jesus of the Gospels was probably married. The Gospel of John insinuates that the woman at the well was his bride. The meeting at the well paralles the Old Testament story of the chosing of a wife for Isaac (Gen. 24 and following. The purpose for being at the well was to get a wife for Isaac. The first woman arriving became the wife of Isaac. The servant asked her for a drink. The woman went and told her friends and family and then went home with the man to become the wife of Isaac.

    All of this was repeated in the story of the woman at the well except for the specific statement about the woman being the bride of the son of Abraham. This woman at the well with a history of relationships was probably Mary Magdalene and does appear with Jesus after the well incident. My conclusion is that the writer wanted to show that from among the disenfanchized Samaritans God chose a wife for his son. A woman who becuase of her previous life was also disenfranchized. It is obvious in the text that the disciples return with suspicions about Jesus' motives for talking with the woman at all. And in response to their disapproval Jesus stays in Samaria two days preaching among her people.

    This story along with the references to Magdalene in the Gospel of Philp and in the Gospel of Mary lead me to conclude that Jesus was indeed married and that his wife was his most beloved disciple, also that the disciples were indeed jealous of her as reported in the apocryphal material. The woman at the well caused many to hear Jesus by her testimony that he was the Christ.

  • The original sin was disobeying God

    furthermore, Sex has nothing to do with that sin or marriage either.

    If Jesus was married? Okay great, wonderful! Marriage is a wonderful thing that binds two pwople into one flesh. The physical part Of Jesus may have produced off-spring as well or He may have drank from a chalice(grail) but that is not anything important. The Holy Grail itself is not possible: No matter how many times Jesus drank from it, It remains a simple cup with no special qualities. If Jesus has some relatives floating around in present day, they are not special or gifted or different from any other physical attributes.

    What made Jesus special was the Spirit of the Father that was a part of Him. That part was not passed on by flesh, but was past on to us from Heaven on the day of Pentacost and is meant to be free to ALL PEOPLES.

    If the holy grail were real, then That would make an object of power that no one has access to now. Which completely goes against what our Bible teaches.

  • It would be undisputable if he did

    Jesus was definatly not married, something as significant as marriage would have been recorded in the bible - but it wasn't. Also, the word "rabbi" was used only to mean teacher, anybody who teaches is a teacher, anybody who teaches is a rabbi. another point, everybody knows Mary (his supposed wife) as "Mary of Magdalene" if she was married to Jesus, she would have been referred to as "Mary, wife of Jesus" place names were only used in the titles of unmarried women. Mary of magdalene also wrote a "gospel" which is one of the gnostic gospels. In it, she never mentions any kind of romantic relationship with Jesus - and if she had, she would have mentioned it. I mean, it's not every day one can get off with the son of God!!!!!!

    Jesus never married!

  • Jesus not married -- yet

    Marriage is a God-plane institution. Created by God so that man could cleave to his wife and become one flesh (so much for homosexuality). It was created as a type of Christ marrying His bride spiritually. DO a search on 'Bride of Christ". This is not a small matter. Please order your free copy of Mystery of the Ages at www.pcog.org

  • Good for Him

    I hope he did. But, then, he probably saw down the pipeline of life and saw his 'offspring' being mobbed by the media, and personally, that would screw up whatever that poor soul needed to do.

    I hope there are many 'offspring' and my wish would be for them to live their lives the way they were meant to without being hounded by crazy media mobs.

  • As I have answered elsewhere

    Ok what you have got to remember first and foremost is what the theory of his marriage is based on the line in the Gnostic gospel of Mary where it states that she was jesus' favorite and jesus regularly Kissed her on the...... The problem is the word from this scentence written is missing from the only known surviving copy. So he could of kissed her hand, her forehead or indeed as a lot of people have theorised on the mouth and therefore expressing a sexual connection.

    It is also largely based on some french myth about Mary Moving to the south of France, with her children and eventually producing the Mervovingian line of Kings. again there is no real proof of this. However I think what is known was that was a large jewish community in sourthern france around the time of jesus' death. SO if she did escape into exile there is a high probability it would have been there.

    Ok what I think most biblical scolars do agree on now having access to the Gnostic gospels. Is that Mary was not a prostitute, and infact was if anything the most important disciple not Peter. Where the church has been lying to us is that it tried very early to reduce womens importance in the church. the other thing is have you noticed that nearly every woman that follows jesus is called Mary, it seems to me this is because it was a title rather than an actual name. As to whether I think jesus was married i would have to say that i agree that it seems more likely that he was or he would not of been considered a rabbi if he weren't. There are alot of sybolic acts in the bible which also suggest he was i.e. mary washing his feet etc. Also she is mention in a list of people with jesus she is generally referred to before jesus' mother implies she was of higher status which could only mean she was his wife. But look these are theories only there is little proof but then there is little if not no proof that any of the new testament is true.

    As for his blood line and it being protected, well there was a empirial decree that stated that jesus' seed sould be wiped out. however the Gnostic gospel etc, refer to the fact that jesus had a brother named james , and early christian myth states that Thomas was jesus's twin so whether that ment they were actually his children its hard to say. But if he did have children and as to whether they where kept in secret, well you do the maths, lets for arguments sake say he had 2 kids and they and 2 kids each, and each of those had two kids for the best part of 35 generations well thats alot of syblings. In fact it would be fair to say that there was a good chance that either you or someone you know is related to jesus in some way. And personally i think that what the Catholic church was afraid of because if we are all related to jesus what does that do for the Popes claim as gods representative on earth. who knows.. but remember theese are only theories but what really matters is what jesus said and how he said to live our lives. But the main problem is the bible is not the only place this is recorded there are other sources.
