Jesus was married!? What's your opinion about that?

After Jesus is crucified and it shows us who Jesus may have been married to. St. Mark, Chap. 16, verse 1. "And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him." Now by Hebrew law the ONLY women who can anoint a man are family members. For Mary Magdalene to even attempt to anoint Jesus would be unthinkable under Hebrew law, unless she was married to Jesus. So it seems much more likely through this one verse that Jesus and Mary were married.

This question contains an interesting point, but maybe we never will know the answer certainly. Many people believe that Jesus might have been married, but if it has got any importance, the Bible would have mentioned it. The main message of the Bible is not based on the personal live of Jesus or his interests though on fulfill God's will.

Im a firm believer of Bible and it says, He was a perfect human without a trace of sin in him. He was never married, whose example, paul and several other disciples of him imitated.

Hi phoenix, I never heard that rumour and not sure that I believe it. I have read some on people that have researched the life of Jesus. Jesus being married was not in any of the literature I've read. Do you have any links to support this? I guess it would be possible but do we really have any proof?

I have read somewhere about his book the claims that Jesus is not actually a single person. I can't say the name of the book and the author and I may get it wrong but then it's quite a popular topic. I don't want to believe it because ever since when I am young I have read in the bible that Jesus never marry. But who can say the real truth. I was not born yet when Jesus born in to this world and therefore I can't say if it's wrong or the truth. As for the Bible also it has been re-written many times and who knows what mistake and conspiracy is written there.

This is a great discussion phoenix! I think it doesn't matter whether Jesus married or not. Whether it was the sinful Mary Magdalene or some other girl we don't know about. I neither believe of disbelieve. It doesn't matter. What matters is that you believe in God. It didn't affect my faith. It never had. It never will. For some who are arguing that the bible doesn't say this and that, here's a piece of my mind for you. The bible was compiled by people. There were many accounts of what happened on Jesus' time. but only 4 apostles had theirs published in the bible. there were 12, where's the remaining 8? What's in the bible may be true. It is true for me. BUT for me, whatever's not in there should not be regarded as false. Like I said, MEN compiled the bible. It was their bias that's inside the bible. What's compiled in the bible is only what those men want us to believe. I'm not saying the bible is wrong, I'm just saying it MAY BE incomplete. I'm not saying that Jesus never married, I'm also not saying that he did. All I'm saying here is that let's have an open mind. Who are we to say what is and what's not in Jesus' life? We weren't there to confirm. What we have now is the fruit of the biases of the Roman Empire. That's why it is called "Roman Catholic" (and for those other Christian sects, you all came from Roman Catholic). Would it also matter if Jesus were married? would you lose faith in Him and in God the Father? Would it change anything? NO IT WOULDN'T. Sure it would challenge the dogmas of the church, but would t change your faith? would it change your life?

There is no evidence to support that and it would certainly have been mentioned in the gospels all the best urban

As far as i know there is no scripture to back that up. Untill there is i do not believe it.

...but standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdelene. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold, your son!" Then he said to the disciple, "Behold your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. John 19:25-27 ESV Jesus though about the welfare of His mother. Wouldn't He do the same for His wife, if He had one? There is nothing concerning the welfare of His wife because, He didn't have one.

The Bible never tells that Jesus got married,and i believed that he was never married. And,that,those who were saying that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene were just trying to inject confusion to other believers.

YO! LET'S STOP THE BS RIGHT NOW!! What TIME did JESUS have to get MARRIED W/O THE 12 DISCIPLES KNOWING IT??? GIVE ME A BREAK!!! Those kind of "TALL TALES" are just another way NON-BELIEVERS try to make people think GOD Almighty DOESN'T EXIST...DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!!

No Jesus was never married. There is no mention of it in the Bible. Jesus had not come into this world to get married and raise a family. His purpose was to fulfill God's will, i.e., to suffer and die for the sake of our sins. There are some people who try to disparage Jesus' image by saying all sorts of things about him. One person this this board even mentioned that Jesus' mother Mary was raped by Pontius Pilate and Jesus was Pontius Pilate's offspring. I wonder how people allow their imagination to take off without wings. I feel sad for them. They are certainly on the road to perdition. God has assigned a place for them in the dungeons of Hell. Amen.

Hi phoenix, i never read or heard that Jesus got married. I am feeling so sad to read all other responses. Without knowing about oneself should not comment. Should have a perfect evidence and then say with the proof. God bless you.

That is the synopsis of the book "The Da Vinci Code" It follows symbologist Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu as they investigate a murder in Paris's Louvre Museum and discover a battle between the Priory of Sion and Opus Dei over the possibility of Jesus Christ of Nazareth having been married to Mary Magdalene. It is rather intriguing and certainly gives some food for thought but the book is classified as fiction. The book and the movie were very popular.

I have no problem with it. I also believe it. I don't have to believe in the Virgin bith or any of the other things we are taught. I do believe in his teaching and if we follow them all the other things are just words.

I think that those people are not interested in reading the bible and finding out what it actually says. They only want to stir up trouble for Christians.

ask 2 who goes to church they will know

Interesting. The question one must ask is: Does it really matter one way or the other?? It doesn't really change anything. I also heard another one that Christ really survived then moved to India. Hmmm???

If they could find just one verse in the bible that says Jesus married Mary Magdalene, I would believe then. Those are just hoax, probably influenced by Dan Brown or something. Of course if your foundation with Christianity is not that strong, you would believe anything that's been said to you about Jesus, all those lies.
