I would like to know how old Jesus was when he married Mary Magdalen.  The Bible does not give the year.?

Jesus was a catholic priest and preferred boys.\n\nWhy do you think he hung around with guys all the time?\n\nWhat normal guy, with the ability to perform miracles, would surround himself with a bunch of guys in drag?\n\nJesus was gay and only married Mary to please his mother (his real father disowned him, the reason he had to claim "God" as his father). They got married when he was about 18 and she was 10.

While it is true there is no mention of Jesus marrying in the Bible, this doesn't mean that it is true. The Bible doesn't mention Christ's life between (roughly) the age of 12 and 30 - but we assume that he didn't skip over those years. (In fact, who is to say that that was the exact time that Jesus did have a family?)\n\nThe fact is, despite being 'the good word', religious texts (including The Bible) were written down, translated, and interpretted by humans. The words of the Supreme Being might be perfect, but humans are fallable. Things get lost in translation, people 'leave out' and edit something they don't believe sounds right (for the best, of course), and who knows what kind of 'Chinese whispers' have gone on when one human tells another human what is written or said. In the past, in the present, and in the future, literal translations of the Bible will cause as many crises of faith as it mends. (I fully realise that this is a huge discussion, and I have just attracted the anger of a LOT of people.) It doesn't make the Bible any more or less valid than it was at any other point in time (if you go for that kind of stuff), but it makes sense that it is a theological work that draws on 'historical' events rather than a literal account.\n\nThe works of Dan Brown are fiction in and of themselves. They do contain some thoughtful suppositions, and would encourage anyone (Christian or otherwise) to discuss the ideas proposed. Jesus Christ may have been the son of God, but he was also a man.\n\nDid Jesus Christ have any children? Maybe and maybe not. It's not like there is any evidence for or against.\n\n(If so,) are there offspring alive today? Well, after 2000 years, no not really. Two millenia is a long time to accurately trace ancestry, so any descendants would be just as related as any of us are to ancestors 2000 years removed....\n\n\n(For the record, I tend toward the agnostic/aetheist end of the scale.)

In actual sense there is no exact record that Joseph DIED!\nThat has to be cleared first... No actual fact that says that he died or even was around when Jesus was older...\nOK lets do the math. Tradition of the church says that Jesus was born to a young maiden. So this would refer to a girl who is very young in fact.. which explains why many artists draw Mary as a young GIRL... i suppose in her early 15 at lest... and she was engaged with a man(again traditionally a widower) maybe around 30 or 40 or 50...no one knows! But Joseph was also silent in the gospels!\nJoseph could have died of natural causes... (old age)\nor something else... but this is for sure... he died because in the gospel of John, Jesus gives his mother to John to take care of.. would she go if she is already staying with a husband?!?!\nmakes no sense..\nJoseph probably died just before Jesus begun his public ministry. This silent carpenter died not that silent because by living and following the instruction of God, he saved both the lives of Jesus and Mary from King Herod... He followed a dream... He lived a godly life..

ereyes:  Catholics don't believe that Jesus and Mary Magdelene were married.  Wherever you get your information, you need to replace it with credible sources.\n\nIt wouldn't change my belief.  If Jesus was both fully human and fully devine, then I would expect the fully human portion of him to have been in love.  \n\nHe still would have died on the cross and rose on the 3rd day.  THAT's what Christianity is about.  Not whether or not Jesus was married.  \n\nIt actually would answer a lot of questions.  Men back then got married at an early age...what was Jesus doing at 30 unmarried?  The community must have been thinking there was something strange about that.

Jesus had a half brother named James.  He wrote one of the books in the bible.  There is no proof Jesus was married, that was a made up fact to promote a book and a movie.

A:  There are four traditions about Jesus the Christ of Nazareth.\n\n1:  The traditional Biblical Tradition.\nNever married.  Did not have children.  Died on the Cross.\n\n2:  The Kashmir tradition.\nThere are half a dozen variations in this tradition.\n* Never married / married Mary of Magdala.\n* One version states that he visited India prior to preaching the Gospel message.  \n* No Children / One child / not mentioned.\n* Was crucified but recovered / Judas was crucified in his place / Somebody else was crucified in his place.\n* He went south to Egypt, then took the sea route to India / He went north and took the land route to India\n* He was welcomed back as a Saint / He was instantly recognized as a Holy Man\n* He attracted a large following\n* He died in a cave in the Himalayas. (Kashmir and Bhutan are the most frequently mentioned places.)\n\n3: The Glastonbury tradition.\nMarried Mary of Magdala.  Had one child. After the crucifixion he went, with his wife to Egypt, and then to Glastonbury.  \n\nA variation of this tradition holds that they directly went to Glastonbury, with his wife, in a ship of  Joseph of Aramethia.\n\n4: The South of France tradition\n* Married  Mary of Magdala. \n* They had a daughter --- Sara.\n* After the crucifixion she goes to Egypt, then to the south of France.\nIn one Indian tradition, they go as a couple to Egypt, then they separate, she goes to the South of France, and he goes to India.\nIn one Glastonbury tradition, after she goes to the south of France, she goes to Glastonbury, to be with Joseph of Aramathia, and the rest of Jesus' relatives.\n\nThe Biblical tradition is the only one that has early documents to support it. The other traditions are purely oral, and do not appear to have been known, prior to pilgrimages being incorporated into Christian practice.\n\nAssuming that one of the non-biblical traditions is valid, there only was one child --- a daughter at that.  Any descendants would have anonymously blended into the gene pool.\n\nB: The brothers/half brothers of Jesus\n\nOne tradition holds that Joseph was a widower, when he married Mary.  \nThe other siblings were the children of Joseph and his first (deceased) wife.  \n\nA second tradition holds that the brothers and sisters were cousins.  [This is the doctrine of the holy Roman catholic and Apostolic Church.]\n\nA third tradition holds that the siblings were the children of Joseph and Mary.  [This is the usual viewpoint of Fundamental Christianity.]\n\nSince at least five siblings are named, and several others are referred to,  he would have had several nephews and nieces.  [Jewish tradition at that time more or less equated being married, but childless, with being in a state of sin.] \n\nThose nephews and nieces would have formed a bloodline, which _might_ persist to this day.  Mitigating against the persistence of the blood line, is the dispersion of Jews, plagues, and wars.  The latter two are very effective at prematurely terminating blood lines. [Yes, I know about Genghis Khan, and the dispersion of his genes.  I'll also point out that he was the war leader, spread his gene pool over most of Asia, and killed off most of the competing gene pool donors.  By contrast, the family of Jesus was at the bottom of the social scale and confined to a small country.]\n\nIn synopsis.\nA direct bloodline from Jesus:  No.\nA direct bloodline from his siblings:  Probable.\nAny such descendants would only be identifiable, if DNA from Joseph can be found.  [Genghis Khan's DNA was identifiable, not because of an actual sample, but because the same DNA anomalies occur at the same place over the entire geographic area.  They all point to the same common origin in time.  A period that was when Genghis Khan was alive.   It is theoretically possible that the genes are of somebody other than Genghis Khan. The only other candidates with the geographical range, power, nd influence would be his family, and close relatives. ]

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.

cheri_da_rn: he meant carpentry!\n\nI wonder, was it before or after he got married to Mary Magdalene? You couldn't really hold it against the guy if he was already married and THEN found out that he was supposed to be the Messiah, and die on the cross, etc.

Supposedly he was 33. There are other theories as to what really happen but it is in accordance with what you believe in because the King James version is just that, a version.  Our Fahrenheit system of temperature is based on Jesus's life as in degrees of knowledge and degrees of temperature. If you think about, if you have 32 degrees of knowledge you are still freezing. Jesus supposedly had 33 degrees of knowledge and he was much more knowledgeable then most prophets if not all (matter of opinion and belief). Forgive me for getting off the subject slightly but 33 years is the popular belief. Again, there are other interpretations as to what happen. The story of Nimrod would be a good thing for you to look up. Was it Nimrod or Jesus that was crucified on That day?

As the Jewish, Historical documentation is concerned, the line is always through the man, even if it is wifes linage.  If you notice, the linage in Matthew is different from the one in Luke 3.\n\nThe linage in Matthew is that of Mary, the one in Luke is that of Joseph.  And Luke states in verse 23\n\nNow Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph\n\nDo some research on the different authors of the Gospels to see why they wrote from these different perspectives.

At least 2000 years. Christianity is not yet civilized in that length of time.

His exact age can't be pinned down from the Bible, but tradition says that he started preaching at 30 and preached about 3 years.  That would make him 33 at the crucifixion.

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.

nobody knows what mary was really like. the church slandered her by calling her a prostitute, and sum say she was 12 years younger than jesus. she cud have been wealthy, and she could have been poor. we dont know, and there was no record of her being a poor woman, and just because sum1 says she was rich or poor doesnt make her rich or poor. and if she was, so wat? thats not that big a deal back then. now it wud be disgusting, because so many people are perverts, or just shallow, and cant accept that sum1 may love some1 else who is many years older than them...

i am quite positive that he did. and i think it would be to mary magdalene, who by the way was NOT a prostitute. the prostitute who was stoned to death was not named. mary magdalene's name just came subsequently after the story of the prostitute so many people immediately assumed that she was the prostitute.\n\nmary magdalene may also have been a discipple of christ, and she supposedly has a book that was omitted from the bible (it's a man's world). there are even references in scripture that mary magdalene was the one who jesus would often kiss. \n\ni dont see why so many people are so offended by the idea that jesus christ was married. whether or not he was god, he came to earth to live as MAN. i mean to be so offended at the thought of a married jesus seems as though people think marraige is wrong. i mean marriage is supposed to be sacred to christians, why shouldn't jesus have done it?

Basically saying that Jesus was married and had a child with Mary Magdalene...that's the big "secret."  In the end, it would mean that there are living descendents of Jesus Christ alive today.  That's the secret that they were trying to protect.  And they say that the Holy Grail is not a cup...but rather it is the tomb of Mary Magdalene herself.
