Was Jesus Married? It's either yes or no.

[blue taylor]

The marriage of the Savior was taught more often in early church history, by leaders like President Brigham Young, George Q. Cannon, President Wilford Woodruff, Orson Pratt, Jedediah M. Grant, President Joseph F. Smith, and President Heber C. Kimball, to name just a few. In a General Conference address on October 6, 1854, Orson Hyde of the Quorum of the Twelve discussed the Savior’s wedding recounted in the Bible:

"…Jesus was the bridegroom at the marriage of Cana of Galilee, and he told them what to do. Now there was actually a marriage, and if Jesus was not the bridegroom on that occasion, please tell who was. If any man can show this, and prove that it was not the Savior of the world, then I will acknowledge I am in error. We say it was Jesus Christ who was married, to be brought into the relation whereby he could see his seed, before he was crucified." (Journal of Discourses, Vol. 2, p. 82, 83).

Just food for thought. Or debate.

Why is it either yes or no?

What's wrong with "don't know"?

The bible doesn't say anything about Jesus having one sexual thought, ever. The church is his bride, case closed.

The bible never mentions Jesus pooping either. Doesn't mean he didn't.

No one said he was "happily" married.

Some people believe the French own the blood line to Jesus Christ. Only GOD has access to that geneology. Unless his sandals were handed down from generation to generation. Or maybe he has crocs now?

Good point. On that point, Jesus could have done anything. I love your eye, by the way. Now I need my sketch pad.

Now that you mention it, why would a god need to poop?

I think he would have peed alot from all the wine he made.

Probably wouldn't have needed to as a divine being. Though he shouldn't have needed to eat, sleep or have blood. Human substitute in all but 'sin' I guess.

Did he actually drink the wine? Not scriptural.

I think this is one of those cases where the silence actually speaks to us. If Jesus was known to have abstained from wine then that would have been mentioned. We do have passages where Jesus was criticized for not living the ascetic lifestyle that John the Baptist apparently did. Jesus probably drank wine.

Was he married? I dunno. The argument from silence seems to work either way there.

The argument that a Rabbi was supposed to be married is decent if Jesus was big on rules.

Some dethroned royal European dude got on television some years ago, claiming Mary Magdalena was found pregnant with the baby of Jesus at his trial, and that he descended from this baby, and he was whining about not being a king, *****ing he wanted his kingdom. I don't know. In other news, someone saw Elvis getting into a UFO.

What is more far-fetched between being married and being sinless.

I know the argument. It is a good argument. But not entirely persuasive. I just dunno.

 

[Brian Schuh]

I mean it is far fetched that a royal guy expects a kingdom just because he has got a genealogy back to Jesus and Mary Magdalena. Even if it is true, doesn't mean he should be a king.

Yeah, Jesus could have had a wife and kids. In other news, aliens come back to Roswell, New Mexico looking for their dead.

 

[First Baseman]

Jesus never married in the NT or the OT.

The wedding feast in heaven spoken of in Revelation is for Jesus and His bride, the Church.

Mormons need to study the Bible and throw all of their other "religious" books in the trash. Joseph Smith and the Mormon Church teaches much doctrine against that of Christ.

Why would a God bleed during crucifixion?

Immortal but able to die always struck me as odd.
