I dont believe that our Lord and God had a wife. If he did then he is not God and our faith is false. What i dont understand is why Christians would not care 🤷 this is the foundation of our faith that Jesus is God. If God can marry then he is no better than Zeus, Odin, or the rest of the pagan gods.
 
Jesus said my wife…?

As the saying goes :"…I’ve got a bridge to sell you" 😛

While I realize those who accept the canonical gospels record the very words of Jesus, others of us believe that the gospels reflect what the various Christian communities came to believe about Jesus…not necessarily what Jesus believed about himself.

That’s interesting; I didn’t realize that about Quaker beliefs.

But…shouldn’t God be the authority on God?

/whats so wrong about a diety being able to marry? i understand that it would undermine christianity, but what makes a unmarried diety any better than a married one?
 
I didn’t read the whole thread on account of it being 2 AM. But regardless i would like to point out that of course Jesus Married! :bigyikes:St. Paul said so himself, and christian Tradition leaves no ambiguity in the matter. Christ is married to his Bride the Church.

Still missing the point… Jesus was The Word of God. If you believe in God then the true Gospels were directly inspired by the Almighty.

They weren’t just random reflections. It wasn’t scribbling things on an ipad. Materials were precious. Recording anything, time-consuming and laborious. Even a moment’s thought must reveal that.

With the all too casual acceptance of ‘what’s the big deal,’ It’s looking like I returned to the forum too soon.

A very good point about the implications of this heresy. I share your dismay that some posters don’t seem to understand. Jesus is more than what he said and did. He is the Word of God through which God spoke the universe into existence. Jesus Christ is part of the Trinity–wholly complete in itself without need of man or human companionship. Consider Jesus’s response to the question about the widow who had married seven brothers. He said that in heaven people are not given in marriage.

This issue is an attack in who Jesus Christ is, not what he said or did. If he was married it changes our fundamental understanding of his being.

Of course, the issue is silly, but that some people don’t take who Jesus Christ is seriously is disturbing.

According to huffingtonpost, there is a new document that was discovered suggesting that Jesus was married.

Gospel of Jesus wife discovered

I’m not sure where Christians stand on Jesus being married or single, but judging by the article, it sounds to alarmistic too me. Even if Christ was married, that still doesn’t hinder his teachings nor resurrection.

Thoughts?

Amen.

Y’know… I may not stay much longer. Unhappy, worried… But when I read WHY people leave the Church, all I find are Jack Chick-type lies.

Not to derail the thread, but…

A couple of years ago I read an article about some glacier in Peru whose retreat was being blamed on man-made global warming; the “proof” was that more and more ancient plant beds were being newly uncovered each year as the ice retreated (this started in 2002). Carbon dating indicated that most of these plant beds have been buried for at least 5,000 years.

Think about that for a minute. What that really says is, the earth today is still not as warm as it was 5,000 or more years ago (i.e. the ancient plant beds are only just now being uncovered, the plants themselves are not yet regrowing). Was it the “exponential population growth across the world” up to that time that was responsible for the warm temperatures 5,000+ years ago? I highly doubt it; mankind was no more responsible for the warm temperatures 5,000+ years ago than for the subsequent cooler temperatures.

We now return to our regularly-scheduled thread…

4th century, enough said. I believe whats intertesting is she allowed the information out intentional, without any reasearch of the ink and verified dating. So you make a claim “before” experts are allowed to date and verify. She used her friends and peers in Mass to her advantage of course. However, I think its suspect she released this info at this time and I believe its an agenda.

NECN of course dragged the Catholc Church into the news also 11pm last night. Priests celibate.

Which they stated (CC) the new discovery changed absolutely nothing.

But as Mark Twain said “A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting its pants on.”
How many people, who watch Cable “news” and dumb documentaries on the “History” channel about how aliens built the pyramids, will still beleive it. People love sensationalism, they no longer have any capacity to question someone who claims to be an “authority”.
 
Humans… first they “married” YHWH to Asherah, now they want to marry Jesus to Mary Magdalene… 🤷

Great post.

This is like asking if a man who left his sprinkler on in his yard during hurricane Katrina was responsible for the flooding.

Jesus married? And he being married changes…what?

One monumental change, besides others, would be the teaching on the evangelical councels. In the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church #43, Vatican II, it reads “The teaching and example of Christ provide the foundation for the evangelical counsels of chaste self-dedication to God, of poverty and of obedience.” There are virgins dedicated to God mentioned in the New Testament. The monastic and religious life spans two millenium in the church. Many men and women have embraced this life believing that they are following the teaching and example of Christ. Does it stand to reason that they were believing and living a lie? That’s absurd!

According to Christians every Hindu, Muslem, Buddhist, Shinto follower, and every other religion is living a lie, and some of those have been around longer than 2000 years, is it really that difficult to fathom?
