Did christ actually have a wife?
338415
According to the gnostic scriptures (mentioned in the DaVinci), Christ did not have a wife (christ is god; christ-force; cosmic christ; son of god; ineffable mind, logos, the highest AEON), but Jesus the man was married to Mary Magdalene.

Dan Brown (puh) suggests that Jesus was completely human born of a father & mother and was married to the Magdalene and they had kids. WOW! How incredibly difficult to believe this fantastic story! Gnostics been saying this since the son of man was teaching them (and making love to MM).\n\ngo jesus & mary & uncle judas

The book itself is definitely fiction.  Some of the theories posed are palusible.  The Catholic church claims that Jesus wouldn't have been divine if he was married, yet Christ was a rabbi (or considered such by the masses).  To my understanding of Jewish beliefs at that time, rabbis or any teachers of faith would have needed to be married to have any credibility.  Simply put, the Jews probably wouldn't have listened if he was single.\n\nWhen it comes down to it though, there's no scriptual reference to a wife of Christ, so it's not important to salvation and it's not important to us in the larger scheme of things.

There are Gnostic Gospels that talk about him kissing Mary on the mouth.  There are also clues in the New Testament that may point to him being married.  For instance, the annointing would have ended in stoning for both him and the woman if they were not married.\n\nIn addition it would have been totally abnormal for a Jewish Rabbi not to be married at that time period.\n\nThere are also legends and many tales in Southern France of Mary Magdalene coming there with a child.

No.\nJesus kept himself for the Lord. Paul writes on the topic of marriage to one of Corinthians; (1 Corinthians 7:1-7:3) "It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband." NKJV. This doesnt mean it is a sin to get married or have relationships it just means that because of our inadaquance and temptation, we are given the opposite sex to relieve temptation. See also 1 Corinthians 7:6-7. " But I say this as a concession, not as a commandment. For I wish that all men were even as myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that." Paul was single. He realized the gift that is to be able to serve God with your entire self. But marriage alike is also a gift of God. Paul recognized the gifts of celibacy and marriage. Jesus being the Son of the Living God served our Lord with his whole self. It would not be in the character of our Savior to tie himself up with a woman to suit his own carnal needs. He was able to overcome sexual temptation.\n\nAs far as "what-could-have-beens"... You cant conjure up hypothetical alternate outcomes for our Lord and Savior. He didnt become who He is by accident. It was destiny. God sent him to accomplish a purpose knowing the future already. He didnt send Him down here and cross his fingers hoping he didnt screw up.\n\n***\n\nThis is the same answer I gave last time someone asked this question.\n\n***************\n\nJust because it was in the Hebrew religion doesnt mean it was God ordained. The pharisees had all kinds of weird rules they came up with to make themselves more holy. For example: if a chicken laid an egg on the Sabbath you could eat the egg but you had to put the chicken to death for laboring on the Sabbath....

The story is not true but many aspects of the book are true. There is an Opus Dei, there is a gospel of Phillip and Mary Magdalene, and a few others, almost certain Mary was not a prostitute but a disciple of Jesus, there is a Rose Line, and according to wikipedia, the Council of Nicaea DID convene to determine if Jesus was God, but the Priory of Sion was shown to be a hoax, and pretty sure Mary Magdalene is not buried at the entrance to the Louvre. It is very probably that Jesus, being a normal Jewish man, would've been married, however, there's really no way to know whether or not Jesus had a child. So believe what you will, just know that the Catholic Church has a remarkable tendency to hide the truth to suit its own needs.

Jesus talks about His yoke being light. And He also refers to being the Churches bridegroom. (metaphorically)lol. \nBut when your married, a husband and wife ought to both believe. Statistics show that a marriage does better when they are in accord with each other in the same faith and passion. I dont Jesus was lieing. I am believer myself, and understand that a couple would a major strain if they are not a team in not standing together on THE ROCK!

i'm not Catholic, but yes at that time, the people whose life stories were told were sexist, because that was the time period they were in, but the Bible itself is not sexist, the Bible is perfect, not the people in it. Jesus honestly wasn't interested in a wife, he was here to spread the Good News and he knew he would be leaving and wouldn't leave a wife behind. The Bible has everything that is true in it. They also mentioned women multiple times in hte Bible, even have entire books of the Bible for them only. Ruth, Esther, get hte point there are lots of women in the Bible they wouldn't just paint over the facts of Jesus's life with whatever parts pleased them to tell. The apostles, those who were the dearest of friends with Jesus, wrote the Gospel's. They would not do that to their friend if such a relationship existed. Hence forth: THEY WERE NEVER ROMANTICALLY INVOLVED. Their relationship was of teacher to student, and brother to sister, nothing more. Ayshibaba, did you form this idea from the Davinci Code???

i don't think it states in the Bible that he will choose a bride. from what i know, Jesus Christ is married to the Church. i heard this from the author of "The Purpose Driven Life."

Absolutely not.  Jesus was human as well as God if you believe in Christian interpretations of his life.  I think Jesus was at least a very spiritually advanced human, he knew how to love without judgment and how to forgive. It seems absurd to me that he would not have been married.

No. Maybe the "Christ of faith" was based upon a historical figure, I don't know, but he was no son of any god. The only document we have of him is either the bible or "church father" sources and I don't trust either. \nI used to be a believer, but not as of about 2003.

We honestly do not know if he was married or not.\nAccording to Jewish tradition, law, AND expectations of his position, he should have married.\nJesus wasn't a BAD Jew, he just questioned "interpretation" of the laws.\nCould it possibly be the biggest secret?\nSure.\nHow could a secret like that be kept all these years?\nQuite easily if you study a little history of the origin of the church.\nJesus cared for Mary Magdalene in a very unique way.\nAway from the "legitimate" Roman Catholic Church in other "Christian" countries the stories of Jesus being married was quite prevalent....not unknown.\n\nJust remember....history is written by those who CONTROL the history.

I think it is very possible they were married, but maybe not.  There is some evidence that he may have been married and some that says the person he was married to was Mary Magdalene.  The big thing is - does it matter?  I don't believe that if he was married it changed his message at all.

I have always heard that Jesus had half siblings. Why would he not, when Mary and Joseph were husband and wife? Sorry, all you Catholics out there. \n\nAll in all, it's very exciting evidence.

i would say she was a virgin up to the moment where GOD sent her an angel that took a human form to give her the baby Jesus Christ... in all cases i am not sure if there's evidence that an intercourse took place between her and the angel.. because GOD simply tells a thing to be and it is

You're absolutely right. Jesus never was married. I have never seen that in the Bible, or heard that from any preacher. The Bible is was, is, and will always be the Truth.

You mean to ask if the Prophet pbuh commited adultry?..the answer is no. He was MARRIED to Mary and freed her from slavery. His wives had their own space and own privacy. All his wives had nothing but praise for the Prophet and lived happily with him.
