The gospel of Thomas which chronicles the life of Jesus doesn't record there ever having been a woman in His life other than those mentioned around Him. Howhever the gospel of Thomas implies much more than a hug and a kiss that Jesus gave Mary Magdalene. Its contest is that these affections weren't just for friendship but intimacy. Both books aren't accepted in the bible and so my question would be, does it matter?

If Jesus lived as a man and did EVERYTHING else men from those days used to do - grow up, get circumcised, baptized, have a career, friends, feel pain, hunger, anger, use the bathroom, crack jokes, worship, etc etc etc - why do we assume that he also didn't get married? What's wrong with marriage? It's a blessing from god, and it's one of the most (if not the most) important things for man because it allows us to lawfully pro-create. Also, seeing that by 15 - 16 most men were married, are we saying that Jesus was chilling as a bachelor in his paros basement mpaka he turned 30 and started preaching?

I think what disturbs most people with the Jesus being married idea is the thought of "god" having sex with his wife. I believe that he was married, had kids, etc, then when the Catholic church shifted to celibacy for their priests, they had to remove all records of Christ being married from the Bible coz it didn't make sense for priests to be celibate while Christ wasn't. That's why the books that mention it are no longer in the Bible.

Reggie, apart from the fact that it's not mentioned in the Bible, why do you think he wasn't married?

AT, I see that you have not noted another thing also. That marriage was a very big occasion in Jewish circles and it was celebrated sometimes for several days.

Do you think that such an occasion would have missed biblical records?

As much as the Catholic Church is responsible for a myriad ills we must not just continue to pelt them with stones blindly. We must be wise in our postings. TM do you know the origin of celibacy in the Catholic Church?

If not then here is a point to begin from. Look up a woman pope (I cannot remember the exact year, But her Name is Joan/Joanna). She was such whore that she ruined the name of this church. A train of problems under reign is on records. After she died of shame the church begun to discuss celibacy.They the Catholic church had their own reason for instituting celibacy and this had nothing to with Christs supposed marriage to Mary.

Why do you think some men of our day decide to perpetuate bachelorhood until death?

In what capacity are you asking these questions?
Have you read what is written?

If I told you that Jospeh was the father what difference would it make?
If I told you that biologically he was not the father would it make any difference?
Ever had of miracles?( think not of deyaism).

TeeJay,

as far as I know, there were many great men in the Bible and they were all married yet there isn't a single verse whch goes into detail about how their weddings and the celebrations were. That's why it's not odd that we don't hear about Jesus' wedding celebrations. Plus the Bible skips his life from 12 - 30, which is the time period in which most men married, so thaty further explains why it's not mentioned.

Please show me the evidence from the Bible that categorically shows us that Jesus wasn't married. If it's not there, then all we can do is deduce. And like i wrote above, if all evidence points one way, then it's rational to conclude that that's what happened.

TeeJay,

I think the first sign of wisdom in your postings should be to ensure that what you post is real, and not urban legend. There has never been a female pope, everything you wrote above is from a work of fiction. Check out Wikipedia for details:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Joan

Legend states that Pope Joan was a female pope who reigned from 855 to 858. Pope Joan is regarded by most serious historians as a myth because in the Papal Order there is no room for a pope between Benedict III and Nicholas I(this is confirmed by the existance of coins celebrating Nicholas I election to the throne of Saint Peter.)
