Was JOHN THE BAPTIST (MATHEW 11:11)is great ever born from a women..THEN WHT ABT JESUS?

Good question.  I believe it means that angels (the creatures of Heaven) and of course, Christ (who came down from Heaven) are greater that John even though John is the greatest man.  It is an intriguing verse for discussion.

I believe that God is neither male nor female, but rather a Spirit. He has both male and female qualities. For example, He has the protective, strong side that can be classified with males and the caring, compassionate side that we identify as feminine. He created both man and woman to be like Him, not only externally but internally as well. Jesus, however, was male. In order to come down to earth and become human, He needed to have a gender. But God Himself is neither. Hope this helps, God bless!

Okay, I know you requested Christians only, but I have studied the Bible extensively.The Bible was not meant to be taken literally for the most part, and it was written during a time where women were held to be inferior. I'd disregard St. Paul's tirades on women,as a suggestion.Society has changed greatly since biblical times and a fair amount of what was written regarding gender roles no longer applies to today's society.I would suggest treating your wife as a helpmate and with respect,and expect the same from her,as the bible says to do.She should not have to be submissive.St. Paul had some issues with women 2000 years ago.*Sorry,just got your update.Please switch the gender context on what I said regarding yourself.*

Does it matter?  I think of Jesus as an olive-skinned man with brown eyes and dark hair, because he was born in Bethlehem, a district in a Middle Eastern country.  The fact that I have blue eyes and fair hair doesn't make me want to claim him as having that description.  Can't we all agree that Jesus was/is all things to all men?

Mark16:9  Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of\nthe week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene,\nMark16:12  After that he appeared in another form unto two\nof them,\nMark16:14  Afterward he appeared unto the eleven,\nMary  was certainly the first woman to see him after the\nresurrection, and the first to speak the good news of the\nresurrection.  As for the man it is hard to tell from \nscripture.  Perhaps a study of early church writing  would\nshed light on this wonderful question.  I'm 60 years old\nand have been a Christian since childhood and have never\nheard or thought about this issue before.  Thank-you

You need to read the Bible, you didn't get much of anything right!\n\nGod is not a human, so stop trying to apply human concepts like marriage, fornication, and adultery to Him.\n\nJesus is the son of God. Mary is Jesus' human mother as Jesus was conceived by immaculate conception.

Jesus may or may not have been married.\n\nMary certainly was.

If Jesus (of Christianity fame) was a man, then he had a father. It is a requirement of birth.

Read the Bible.  The messiah was prophesized to be "born of a virgin."  Thus, Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit.\n\nThat is not, however, the Immaculate Conception.  The immaculate conception was the process by which Mary, mother of Jesus, was conceived.  This meant that Mary was conceived without original sin.  This is important because, as we read in the Torah (1st 5 books of the Bible), we see that the Arc of the Covenant (box that held God's Law) had to be pure and perfect.  Thus the new Covenant of God with Man, Jesus, should also be housed in a pure and perfect container until birth.  That means Mary had to be perfect, free from sin...even original sin.\n\n****\n\nSomeone quoted Mary as saying "My soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior."  Remember that, at this point, Jesus was not born.  God, being the savior of the jews from Egypt, is the savior Mary references.  All jews know God as Master and Savior.  Read the Psalms.  God is constantly being referred to as someone's rock, their savior, and their shelter.  Mary's calling God her savior does not equate to her declaring herself sinful.  It simply declares that God saves His people, Israel.

i agree that the man is the head of the house and women sumit themselves to them. I am a baptist and i beleive everything in the bible and the bible tells you that. i beleive that if more woman did what we beleive then the world would be a better place and men would not be out cheating because they would be satisfied at home

No, jesus was just one of many supposed "sons of god" that came out of the middle east area during this the same period.  Mithras in Persia, Ra in Egypt, and Bacchus in Greece also were worshiped at the same time with similar stories (virgin birth, wise men led by star, miracles)  The Bible simply out-competed the other books.  Its funny how many religions have stories where women are impregnated by God at times when their husbands were out of town.

He is who he is but we were comanded to go forth and multiply so why can't this pertain to him as well?  I have been taught that we have mother god but we aren't told anything about her because father god does not want us disrespecting her and befouling her as man has done to him.  so why can't the son of god have a wife and child as well?  There are too many things in the bible that show that Mary was married to Jesus.  Men and women did not touch like they did unless they were at least betrothed back then.

To the best of my understanding, Christians (Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant) teach that Jesus lived a life of perfect obedience, making him unique in this respect. So it is only natural to conclude that he loved his mother more perfectly than any son ever loved their mother.

masterba%ion is not a sin i personally believe, guys are guys, and believe me Jesus may be the son of god, but remember he's still a guy! Just remember lots of materials are still missing from the bible, that many find offensive and not right for the public to know!!! I apologize if any one finds my answer offensive, it's just my piece of thought!

MAYBE YOU SHOULD READ EXACTLY WHAT JESUS SAID ABOUT HIMSELF FOR YOURSELF, INSTEAD OF HEARSAY. John 3:16-18. if you need to look up anything or if you don't have a bible of your own click the link below

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

Eve, Deborah, Rebecca, Sarah, Ruth, Bathsheba, Abagail, Zipora, Jezebell, Mary, Mary magdalene, The woman who was the head of the church of Ephesus. \nThese are all key people in the Bible and in Christianity.\n\nGod often uses male figures to characterize certain aspects of Christianity because for example his relationship Jesus most closely resembles a father/son relationship.  \nHis relationship to us is charactaristic to a Father/Child relationship etc.\nLucifer before he was satan was the equivilant of one of God's generals.  No way could the reader relate to a female general, Especially in ancient times.  \nSatan is a spirit, and is therefore not truly male of female anatomically, but in character is male.\n\nHope that helps.
