RELIGION IS NOT ABOUT "THE GOD" OR IT WOULD NOT BE IN CONFLICT. JESUS TOLD THE RELIGIOUS JEWS "HAD YOU FOLLOWED MOSES TEACHINGS (AS WRITTEN) YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN OF HIS COMING.

RELIGIONS ARE MAN-MADE STRUCTURES THAT HAVE DEVELOPED NEW GODS. NEW RITUALS. THINGS MOSES NEVER GAVE US. THERE IS NO TRINITY. THERE IS NO CHRISTMAS. THERE IS NO HANNUKAH. THERE IS NO BAR MITZVAH. THESE ARE ALL MAN MADE DOCTRINES DESIGNED TO BRAINWASH AND FLEECE PEOPLE.

GOD DENOUNCED THE JEWS RELIGION. NOT THE JEWS LAWS WHICH THEY DO NOT PRACTICE ANYMORE.

AND TRULY, MOST OF THESE RELIGIONS GOD'S ARE BAAL, MITHRA, EIN SOF, LUCIFER, AND OTHER FALSE "gods" FOISTED UPON THE UNKNOWING PEOPLE. YOUR #3 AND #4 ARE IN ERROR.

AND YES, YOUR #5 IS CORRECT. THEY ARE ALL RELIGIONS. NOT FOLLOWING THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD.

But the mosaic law has 613 commandments apparently given to Moses by God. No one could tell the coming of Jesus because it was prophesied 700 years before the event. And Jesus told his disciples not to tell anyone.


Luke 9:18 Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, "Who do the crowds say I am?"
19 They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life."
20 "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "The Christ of God."
21 Jesus strictly warned them not to tell this to anyone.

There's not much of a market for conventional theology books, but publish one whereas there's an "exposee" about how Jesus got married to the Seven Dwarves and they all rode off together on unicorns will get the necessary publicity to sell.

I am sure if Jesus was married, his wife would have stopped him from risking his life by making a fool of himself claiming to be a messiah. She would have forced him to stay in the furniture business or get a real job.

Jesus was unemployed and at 30 remained unmarried. Some priests believe there is an explanation for this oddity.

Was Jesus gay? Probably

Montefiore exhibited in 1967, when he was invited to lecture to the Modern Churchman's Union at Somerville College, Oxford. Knowing it was an open lecture, he nevertheless put forward the theory that because Jesus had remained unmarried, an unusual occurrence for a Jew of his age and time, he might have been homosexually inclined.

That is a possibility, although highly speculative. More likely candidates for explaining celibacy include eschatology (i.e., imminent end of the world), asceticism (while modern Judaism is not ascetic, many Essenes were) or simple poverty.

"[A]Long-lost ancient manuscript discovered in the British Library claims Christ married prostitute Mary Magdalene and they had children.
Jesus married his 'soul-mate' Mary Magdalene and they had two children together, a new book has claimed.
'The Lost Gospel' also alleges there was an unknown plot on Jesus' life 13 years before his crucifixion and an assassination attempt on Mary Magdalene and their children.
Professor of religious studies Barrie Wilson and historical writer Simcha Jacobovici based these claims on a manuscript dating back 1,450 years which they discovered in the British Library.
They spent months translating the ancient text and have controversially said that the original Virgin Mary was Jesus's wife, not his mother.

The book also elaborates on Jesus's alleged connections to top political figures in the Roman Empire such as Emperor Tiberius and his best friend, the soldier Sejanus."

Of course this will be viewed as heresy by almost all Christians, but I know this isn't the first claim of its kind to surface, and, in fact, may well hold more than a grain of truth. Well researched books such as The Passover Plot, The Messianic Legacy, and The Jesus Mysteries all propose scenarios quite at odds with the Bible story of Jesus, and make pretty good cases for the errancy of the Biblical version of his life.

Just sayin'

What is the name of this manuscript or document? I couldn't find it in the article.

This rumour that Jesus eventually married was to counter the Muslims snicker that Jesus was gay, he hung out with men only where as their prophet was very sexually active with hundreds of women.

Christians like to condemn gays but are pretty silent when asked why Jesus at 30 was still single and only surrounded himself with unsavoury men, some who even betrayed and denied him. So they created 2 versions of Jesus.
