Why not? If Christ was both human and divine then maybe he did have a wife.The Ancient Egyptians during the Old Kingdom believed that thier king was the incarnation of Horus.That is to say he was both human and divine and these kings also had wives.You must consider the human side of Jesus and if so I would not be a bit surprised if he was married

By saying that god did not have a wife you are implying that god was a male.How do you know this? What about the female part of us? Can't she be also part of creation? The Greeks had Zues and Hera. The ancient Egyptians had Isis and Osiris. What about our mother the Earth? A patriarchl god is only half the picture and has served as the rationalization of male nce in Western Culture for centuries.We come from both a mother and a father and if you say god was only male then your god is incomplete. The female part of god is the milk and honey spoken of in your Bible. She is the fruit of the trees and if you look into a flower you see both male and female. I cannot support a religion of a stoic,vengeful,and stern fatherly diety.

They spoke of his brother's and his mother ,when he was he to have time
To have a wife ...or children...they to would have been also mentioned
Along with ..the others..
Remember he was sent to earth to teach the word of god and suffer for
our sins..
I think it would have been cruel to marry knowing he had to die.

She is the Earth She is the first known like a child in her arms. Is it is her we know before our father. This does not diminish a father for he is her coequal. This is balance and to say that one is not equal to the either gives us a imbalance. He is the Sun and She is the Earth. He enlightens and warms or hearts She nutures us and feeds us.

These words are not all mine,but at least they are just an echo what has been said elsewhere and repeated in prose above.

Ephesians 5:15-32
See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

I respond "NO", and for the following reasons.

(1) He was God. Part creator, part savior, part sustainer of life. Being able to create, for what reason would He need a wife?

(2) Scripture refers to a messiah who had no lineage. He would be inserted into a family who (by both sides) trace roots to King David - to provide legitimacy to convince the Hebrew people of His fulfillment of scripture. What would happen if there was a child left behind, having the qualities imparted to Jesus? That would be a human child revered instead of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Would that bring faith in God, or in a human child masquerading as God?

(3) Although a Hebrew male, immersed in a family-centric society, He came for a specific purpose - to be a sacrifice, an unblemished offering for our sins. The Hebrew sacrifices took lambs (new crop of the season) as offerings for sin. These lambs were not of breeding age - no offspring.

I totally understand you and that is probablay what a lot of early scholars and experienced ones think too, but in fine print in revelations it does say its possible that a man who tries to change the truth of the books of the bible will suffer and therefore be blotted out of the book of life therefore stating that the bible may not be correct or a just a riddle. furthermore that is why i think the microbes put to eat the oil from oil spill are not working to protect the book of life!

From his manifestation to become earthly man he has no wife. In spiritual matter, his wife (bride) is the Church.

Yes, Jesus did have a wife, as far as I understand from the evidences throughout the NT.

THE WEDDING OF JESUS

Now, please, hold on unto the stones, and no throwing at least until you hear what I have to say. Besides, that's not my final word. I am still researching the matter. I am partially submitting this topic for some second thoughts to make sure it remains no doubt in my mind.

Jesus was a Rabbi and here are the proofs: Matthew 23:7; Luke 7:37-39; John 1:38; 3:2; 20:16.In many other instances he was addressed as Master which means the same. The point is that a Rabbi in Israel, then and today, had to be a married man or about to get married. Otherwise, he could not be ordained as such.

According to Judaism, after the proper procedure,the Jewish prospect would undergo the ceremonial "mikveh" or immersion in waters and, if not married yet, to take care of that before ordination.

After Jesus' immersion in the Jordan River by John the Baptist, Jesus was seen during the next two days recruiting his disciples and on his way to Galilee. (John 1:35,43)Then on the third day after his mikveh, the family and friends were celebrating his wedding in Cana with Mary Magdalene. Wait! Put down the stones! I'll explain.

First of all, and according to the custom, usually the mother of the Bride would be in charge of the celebrations, but probably Mary's parents had passed away because she used to live with her sister Martha and brother Lazarus in Bethany. I mean, they used to live with Mary who was the one well-to-do. Martha would pay her room-and-board as a maiden servant, and Lazarus... well, I think he was a loafer boy taking advantage of his rich sister. He was probably a sick man anyway.

Okay, but back to the wedding, Jesus' mother Mary had to do the host job; and she did it quite well by giving orders around to the servants. Also, according to the custom, the Bridegroom was in charge to provide the guests, especially with the wine, which Jesus, mind you, made sure it was of the best quality. The tale of the miracle was interpolated much later to deviate the probing attention of those who have a mind of their own from finding out what was really going on in Canah.

After Jesus' wedding, you can check for yourselves, all Jesus' come-and-goes were from and to Bethany, the home of Mary Magdalene. It must have been a very spacious beautiful home since Mary had the means to maintain it. Mind you that she would also take the tab for the expenses of Jesus' group of the Twelve, along with some other women of course who would tip in from time to time. (Luke 8:2,3)

Whenever Jesus would return from his missionary campains throughout Israel, the address was Bethany. To his wife obviously, although most the time Mary Magdalene would follow Jesus as his beloved disciple; but never like one of the Twelve. The Church later interpolated John as the beloved disciple for the same reason to get the mind of the readers away from the thought that Jesus wasmarried to Mary Magdalene. But it's not helping because the evidences are just too shouting.

Do we have any hint to pick up as evidence for any romantic approach prior or after their wedding? Of course, we do! After Jesus exorcized seven demons from Mary, she must have fallen in love with him. (Luke 8:1-3) The expression "seven demons" means only the struggle Jesus had to go through to extricate Mary from her not-so-reputable business in Magdala.

Then, in Bethany - where else? - when Mary was smearing Jesus' body with that expensive pefume, we all know, although we forbid ourselves to think about, that
Mary did not just throw that perfume at him from afar. Definitely not! she did smear him almost all over even in terms of massage, so much so that some of the guests thought it to be unbecoming. (Mat. 26:10-13; Luke 7:37-39)

Then, while everyone else would address Jesus as Rabbi, Mary would call him "Rabboni," a colloquial term used as an expression of love, especially by a Rabbi's wife. It also means "Master of my suffering," as Rachel named her son Benoni before she died from child birth. (Gen. 35:18)

In another occasion, when Mary went to the tomb area after the crucifixion, and saw the empty tomb, she never suffered more in her life. She wanted to take him away with her. (John 20:15) Then, she was crying without consolation. In the middle of her travails, she saw a man standing by and thought to be the Gardener. "Why are you crying?" the man asked. Of course, Jesus knew why, but he wanted to enjoy the answer from his beloved. Alas! She did not identify him; it was too dark. But then Jesus tried her name the way he used to call her: "Mary...!" It's hard to say it in writing, but Mary melted all down and exclaimed" "Raboni!"

This term "Raboni", or Master of my sufferings, is such a solemn and love-tender expression in Hebrew and Aramaic that only seldom it is used out of the frame of deep love. It was then that she jumped to hug him but Jesus, probably all in bandages, forbade her to cause him any unnecessary pain. He would meet her later at more propitious circumstances. (John 20:17)

Then, after some apparitions to the disciples, Jesus said goodbye and left his company. From then on, the names of these three peoples were never mentioned again; Jesus, Mary Magdalene and Joseph of Arimathea. Jesus yes, but only in connection with his teachings by the Nazarenes, a Jewish Sect organized by his Apostles. Joseph had to go along because if he had stayed, he would probably be crucified for having cheated on Pilate regarding Jesus who was not dead when he took him off the cross.

Today there are three speculations about their whereabouts. The first is that they settled down incognito in Talpiot, a small town not too far south of Jerusalem, where some people have claimed to have found out the graves of Yeshua, Miriam and Joseph. I went there personally but just to be told that the area could not be explored or visited by order of the local Meier for being under an Apartment building.

The second speculation is that they left Israel in the direction of Cashmere, India, where a Russian Archaeologist had found the graves of Yeshua, Miriam and Joseph under the sign of the shield of David.

And the third speculation is the one of the Da Vinci Code, that the three went to Europe and settled down in the Southern part of France in a small village. And that Mary gave birth to a daughter, who eventually got married into the Merovingian nobility.

Whatever happened after Jesus said goodbye to his disciples I don't endorse anything that has been speculated. My point is only to verify the truth about Jesus' marriage to Mary Magdalene. If that's true without the shadow of a doubt, we have only to be joyful that Jesus fulfilled also the commandment to get married and father children. Besides, a married man only adds to his honour for being so. Why deny Jesus the pleasure of being a man by experiencing the love of a woman?

Okay, now you can throw the stones. Nu! I am ready! Hello! Where is everybody? Hellooo! Well, I guess they all left. They must have got the idea that they all have feelings too.

Yes, he did. Take a look at my thread about the Wedding of Jesus. Jesus was married in Cana of Galilee and I was married in Rehovot of Judea. Both of us had a traditional wedding with quite a few similarities.
