Does the Bible ever mention any offspring of Jesus'?  You'd think that if the writers of the Bible were going to mention such detail as the lineage of all of the major kings, they'd mention something that important.  My guess would be no, he didn't have kids, and no, he wasn't gay, and no, he didn't marry Mary Magdalene, and no to all the other ridiculous rumors people make up because they just don't want to believe the truth.  Funny how people will believe a lie any day over the truth.

What do you mean by believe? I believe she lived, and I believe she was the mother of Jesus, and I believe that she was a virgin until Jesus was born. I think you might mean Catholic practice of praying to Mary and so on. That I do not believe - not at all, as the Bible says nothing about praying to Mary. I don't pray to anyone but God the Father, but I do so in the name of Jesus - as the Bible says.\n\n\nThe Bible further states that Jesus had siblings, and says that Mary did not know her husband UNTIL Jesus was born (this last is found in Matthew, and the siblings part is in Mark 3:31). These half siblings would have been direct descendents of Mary, not of Jesus. There is nothing wrong with there being descendents related to Jesus... I think people think that if others were related to him, it would mean they were born with part of the Holy Spirit, since Jesus was conceived of the Spirit - but that's not true. The siblings were born of two humans and were all human. The Holy Spirit had nothing to do with their conceptions.

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

Rev Kip and martin s have very good answers but we do not know that this is the Salome that showed up at the tomb. Christ had an earthly sister named Salome also who is not the one they speak of and is more than likely the one to show up at the tomb. Mary Magdalene, Mary (Jesus' mother), and Salome were the ones who went to Christs tomb to put spices and oils on him. So it depends on what Salome you are talking about.

Most people who are named Jesus today come from spanish speaking countries or backgrounds.  In spanish, Jesus is pronounced hey-seus.  English speakers rarely name their children Jesus.

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.

I alway assumed it was a biblical reference to Mary, the virgin mother of Jesus.

Mary's parents were Joachim and Anne.  Both are saints of the Roman Catholic Church.  She was probably born around 12 or 13 BC, perhaps earlier, since she is presumed to have been fairly young when Christ was born in 1 AD.  Where was she born?  Somewhere in Galilee.

I'll try to keep it short.\nJesus was born in Bethlehem.  Joseph and Mary went to register their names under the order of the Romans, as it was predicted in the Bible that Jesus will be born in Bethlehem.  Shortly after his birth, they had to run to Egypt to protect Jesus's life, for it was ordered that every first born boy to be killed, that included Jesus.  A few years later, they went back, and they lived in the city Nazareth, hence the name Jesus of Nazareth. \nNo contradictions.  They moved to Egypt not to Nazareth to protect his life.  If they didn't do that, you and I would have had nothing to be chatting about, at least in the religion section.  Think about it.  \n\nDon't worry about it, our religion stood the worst.  Christians were feed to the lions for believing in Christ,  at a certain time it was forbidden to be even a Christian, and now, many wants to show the lies that is supposedly in the Bible.  Go ahead, do your best, or your worse!  maybe we both can end up learning from each others.  You don't have to be a Christian, and I don't have to stop being one, but we at the very least at will end up respecting each others.\n\nMap 37.

""SHE DIDN'T SIN, she was born without sin so she could give birth to Jesus. Besides, wouldn't you (maybe not you exactly)love it if everyone worshipped your mother.""\n\nAin't it always something!?  A good christian girl with the number 69 in her name!  Just what I have always come to expect for them.\n\nBTW... 69 chick?  Mary was born without sin?  then that would make HER the Christ and not Jesus!  HER parents had sex to conceive her!!  I hope you feel liek a dumb@$$ right now since the PAGAN chick had to straighten you out on your biblical "facts".

God has no parents. He is not human flesh . He is a \nspirit that is greater than great and the creater of\neverything you hear, see, smell, and touch on this earth. However he does have a son which he temporaily allowed to be born on earth in human flesh. His son's name was Jesus. Jesus had earthly\nparents and their names were Mary and Joesph.Could\nthey be who you are referring to? Bible class could\nis a good way to learn all you need to know about\nwho God is.

That stuff about the Great Mother is bull... it's not possible that every goddess originates from the Great Mother, which is what every scholar wants to argue.\n\nAnyway, the reason the virgin is connected to childbirth is that, according to the legend, she helped her mother give birth to her twin, Apollo.

We know from Jewish records of familiy history that Mary was born at home, but after being weaned from her mother, she was sent to live in the temple, as were many other girls and boys during this time and culture.\n\nShe was raised and educated in the temple until she was close to puberty.  Boys could live in the temple past puberty, but girls could not, as they would be defiling the temple at the onset of puberty as per levitical law.\n\nWhen she was brought back home, her parents set out to marry her off and Joseph was the one chosen to be her husband.  From this point on, there was a one year waiting period in which she would continue to live at home and wait for Joseph to come and claim his bride.\n\nThere is actually more of Mary's childhood written in the Quran (copied from Jewish records) than in the bible. I find that quite interesting especially from those who claim that the bible was put together by Catholics for Catholics, as they would have put everything they could have about Mary if they had put the bible together.\n\nThere are also some false writing that have endured over the years about both Mary and Joseph.  You would have to compare them to secular records of times of births and deaths to try and judge truthfullness and accuracy.\n\nI have not researched Joseph's background and truthfully there is not much available for research.  There is a lot of speculation, but not much authentic truth to go on.

Like dugh! Christianty comes from like a broken home and stuff. No mother, no Goddess in heaven. I would so die without my mother....no wait, I'd never have been born without my mother.\n\nFood for thought.

The Blessed Virgin Mary is the mother of Jesus Christ, the mother of God. \nFundamentalists are sometimes horrified when the Virgin Mary is referred to as the Mother of God. However, their reaction often rests upon a misapprehension of not only what this particular title of Mary signifies but also who Jesus was, and what their own theological forebears, the Protestant Reformers, had to say regarding this doctrine. \n\nA woman is a man’s mother either if she carried him in her womb or if she was the woman contributing half of his genetic matter or both. Mary was the mother of Jesus in both of these senses; because she not only carried Jesus in her womb but also supplied all of the genetic matter for his human body, since it was through her—not Joseph—that Jesus "was descended from David according to the flesh" (Rom. 1:3). \n\nSince Mary is Jesus’ mother, it must be concluded that she is also the Mother of God: If Mary is the mother of Jesus, and if Jesus is God, then Mary is the Mother of God. There is no way out of this logical syllogism, the valid form of which has been recognized by classical logicians since before the time of Christ. \n\nAlthough Mary is the Mother of God, she is not his mother in the sense that she is older than God or the source of her Son’s divinity, for she is neither. Rather, we say that she is the Mother of God in the sense that she carried in her womb a divine person—Jesus Christ, God "in the flesh" (2 John 7, cf. John 1:14)—and in the sense that she contributed the genetic matter to the human form God took in Jesus Christ. \n\nTo avoid this conclusion, Fundamentalists often assert that Mary did not carry God in her womb, but only carried Christ’s human nature. This assertion reinvents a heresy from the fifth century known as Nestorianism, which runs aground on the fact that a mother does not merely carry the human nature of her child in her womb. Rather, she carries the person of her child. Women do not give birth to human natures; they give birth to persons. Mary thus carried and gave birth to the person of Jesus Christ, and the person she gave birth to was God. \n\nThe Nestorian claim that Mary did not give birth to the unified person of Jesus Christ attempts to separate Christ’s human nature from his divine nature, creating two separate and distinct persons—one divine and one human—united in a loose affiliation. It is therefore a Christological heresy, which even the Protestant Reformers recognized. Both Martin Luther and John Calvin insisted on Mary’s divine maternity. In fact, it even appears that Nestorius himself may not have believed the heresy named after him. Further, the church he founded has now signed a joint declaration on Christology with the Catholic Church and recognizes Mary’s divine maternity, just as other Christians do. \n\nSince denying that Mary is God’s mother implies doubt about Jesus’ divinity, it is clear why Christians (until recent times) have been unanimous in proclaiming Mary as Mother of God\n\n\nTHE FACT OF THE ASSUMPTION\n\nRegarding the day, year, and manner of Our Lady's death, nothing certain is known. The earliest known literary reference to the Assumption is found in the Greek work De Obitu S. Dominae. Catholic faith, however, has always derived our knowledge of the mystery from Apostolic Tradition. Epiphanius acknowledged that he knew nothing definite about it . The dates assigned for it vary between three and fifteen years after Christ's Ascension. Two cities claim to be the place of her departure: Jerusalem and Ephesus. Common consent favours Jerusalem, where her tomb is shown; but some argue in favour of Ephesus. The first six centuries did not know of the tomb of Mary at Jerusalem. \n\nThe belief in the corporeal assumption of Mary is founded on the apocryphal treatise De Obitu S. Dominae, bearing the name of St. John, which belongs however to the fourth or fifth century. It is also found in the boo
