Why Would it be bad if Jesus Had a Wife and children ?
600412
There would be nothing wrong with Jesus having a wife and even children. He would not have violated His perfectness because marriage then was a very sacred thing. Most marriages at that time were arranged and it is quite possible that to hold with the customs of the time Jesus may have had an arranged marriage.\n\nWhether or not He was married to Mary Magdeline is a topic that will be discussed for many years. There is some evidence in the Gospel of Mary that she may have been because Jesus told her things that He did not tell the other disciples. It also says (indicates) Jesus kissed her on the mouth, not done except to a wife at that time.\n\nThose who were chosen to assemble the Bible as we have it today had hundreds of letters and gospels to choose from. Because they wanted to make the Bible masculine they choose mainly those books that carried out this wish of the early mainly Catholic church. They required all the other writtings to be destroyed. Thank goodness they are slowly finding some of the copies that did not get destroyed such as the "Dead Sea Scrolls" and now the most recent Gospel of Judas.\n\nAlthough the De Vinci Code is basically a fictional story, I beleive the reason, especially the Catholic Church is so opposed, the occurances depicted is because it is closer to the truth than they want the people to know. The church has always tried to control the people by fear; something that I have always disliked. By making many things that were not sin into sin they could make the people pay to have forgiveness of these "sins". The church was able to fill their coffers easily in this way and some churches still do this today.\n\nTo me Jesus is a very real person and He is my Savior, but I do not hold with any church because of they way they have lied to their people over the years. You don't have to go to a church to be a Christian...All it requies is a belief and a love for Jesus. there is no other requirement.

Jesus was against families. Here is a long list of the family values Jesus preached..including for you to hate your father, mother and siblings.\nhttp://skepticsannotatedbible.com/fv/nt.html\n\nHe did have family..a brother James, Mary his mother, and his father Joesph(that is if you don't believe the virgin birth bit)..but he forsook them for something he considered more important...this imaginary friend of his called Yahweh.\n\nOf course this is all according to the book. There is no contemporary evidence that Jesus even existed. http://www.jesusneverexisted.com

I agree. very nasty. the Bible says one woman to each man, and vise versa. this is paraphased, of course.

Abel had no children (or a wife) and there was more than 2 boys mentioned in the Bible (u forgot seth)- but it is believed with scientific evidence that they had 28 kids (10 boys and 18 girls)\n\nIncest was not an issue at this time because God ordered them to populate the earth. I guess it was a miracle that the children were not born with defects that would be expected today.  But I dont think it was because the bloodline wasnt diluted yet, because you cant get more diluted than people that ARE NOT related, right?  ( I could be wrong )

No, because Jesus never married.

Because he was supposed to be set aside for sacrifice! Had he taken a mortal wife, he would've been communing with sin through the fact that as a mortal, His "wife" would've borne Him offspring with the sin curse placed upon them by the Fall of Man at the Garden of Eden. A Scripture says, " For what communion hath light with darkness and what concord hath Christ with Belial?" These things have people angered because they were taught to understand that Jesus had to be pure so that His sacrifice would be powerful enough to overcome ALL sin for ALL time! The reason it is permissible for pastors to marry is simple; they're human like everyone else and are apt to sin and temptation like everyone else! Another Scripture says, "For if they cannot contain, let them marry for it is better to marry than to burn." The Church, comprised of all believers is meant to be the Bride of Christ because through His cleansing blood shed on the Cross, we were made perfect enough to commune with Him. People are mad because the secular world is suggesting that the most perfect Man in history could possibly give in to the lust of the flesh, which is impossible because He had encounters with Satan himself and overcame him! Satan took Him to the top of a high mountain and tried to tell Him that if He would bow down and worship, he'd give Him all the kingdoms of the world. After this and many other temptations of Christ's flesh and spirit, He told Satan, "Get thee hence!" Or basically, "Get away from me!" Which is of course the same authority all Christians have over sin and temptation if they grasp the concept of salvation and their rightful place in God's kingdom as heirs to Heaven.

I have been in this same situation.  This is not advice, but how it transpired for me.  My ex-wife was not good for myself and my two sons.  I left her.  I had those same exact thoughts and dilemma on what to pray for. Take her back and get the good and the really bad.  Or go solo with two young children and deal with loneliness and single parent struggles.  What I realized was that my ex-wife was not doing what I believe was the will of GOD. And that was to take care of us and do what was pleasing to GOD.  So I opted to take the less traveled road and not go back. 14 years have passed since then.  I still have my sons.  I have my second wife now going on 12 years.  I have an adopted daughter who is almost 4.  My life is tremendously better than it was back then.  Why? I found a person who REALLY loved my sons and myself unconditionally. Also, she was a real living example of a Christian.  By the way, her first husband ditched her after she sent him through numberous colleges.  Funny how GOD works. Sometimes your answers will come in the most unusual ways.  GOD gives insight and wisdom to get you through. Take Care of yourself. You will do what is right.  Just remember, there can be great gain by experiencing loss.  Also, I am not an advocate of divorce. However, it is necessary for the welfare of the children and yourself if your spouse hardens their heart with no recourse after much prayer and pleading.

It is a matter of record that some of the OT people had many wives. But what is recorded in the Bible should not be confused with what is approved and commended in the Bible. Polygamy was never God's original intention for man.

Well, assuming that we knew he had consummated the life choice/marriage I expect they would be shocked equally by each statement, since they (and other Christians, don't forget us!) believe that Jesus was celibate, and each statement would equally contradict this belief.\n\nThis is quite a question! Presumably he wouldn't have been gay AND married (although he may have been in your hypothetical question!) so it actually concerns two alternative realities!

I am not a Christian, but I'm willing to lay odds most people would not change their beliefs. Faith is a powerful tool, and if its strong enough, not even irrefutable proof will bend it. There have been many such discoveries lately, lending credence to the fact Jesus was human, had children, etc. About 80% of the world's biblical scholars agree that Talmudic law would have demanded Jesus as a prophet to have a job and a wife. I doubt he would have been married and remained a virgin his whole life lol. Yet even in light of these facts, many christians remain steadfast in their religion. And so what if they do? When they die, they'll know the truth, just like the rest of us.

Having children by two adults who love each other and want to expand their love onto their children is a good reason.\n\nHaving a child to try and keep a spouse is a very bad reason\n\nHaving children thinking it's going to solve your problems is a very bad reason\n\nHaving children because you are lonely and needing love, is not a good reason\n\nHaving children because you screwed up and didn't use birth control, is a sad reason.\n\nHaving children to entrap someone is a sick reason..

You are exactly right.And that is what the bible teaches.Man is to be the leader of the household and his decisions should stand firm.The wife should be silent in the home and in the church.Of course this view will reap criticism from the new world order,but society changes and not the words of the bible

NO BECAUSE CHILDREN SHOULD COME FROM A LOVING MARRIAGE.

Yes-absolutely. Your spouse may become a Christian while attempting to raise his children correctly.\nUnless this unsaved spouse has shown you that to stay with him your life will be miserable. But you do not mention any problems, only that one is saved and one is not.

Jesus was a great teacher either way you look at it so no it would not have been bad if jesus was just a man as a matter of  fact i believe he was just a man.  doesnt mean that his teachings were anyless profound.

Then they are polygamists and are violating the law of the USA.\nAnd what about the Bible. Jesus defended the Old Testament and there was lots of polygamy there. Doesn't make it good or right, however.
