Why would it be so bad if Jesus was married with children?

Personally I find the bible lacking lots of information and require you to believe more than I want to believe just on incomplete information as well as things that don't happen today.\n\nI have no problem with Jesus having sex nor do I find in alarming that a man would take on a wife and father children.  \n\nI think it is asking too much of a healthy young virile young man not to experiment with in some form of the other especially with all the pretty girls I am sure that was around in his day,as there are now.\n\nThe bible ask me to believe two things that are not common today nor at any other time in recorded history.  One the bible as you to believe that a virgin had a baby. At no other time in recorded history has this happened. Two we are asked to believe that a young man would go through life without having sex of any kind or experiment with sex.\n\nThose are two of the many things I have questions about the bible.\n\nNow when some new information is introduced into your psych that has been conditioned to believe one train of thougth your entire life is a threat into your very core.\n\nI hope this has been of some use to you, good luck.\n\n"FIGHT ON"

No, it's not unrealistic.  My understanding of Jewish law at that time was that it was expected if him to marry and have children.  Why it's considered such sacrilige for that to have happened is confusing to me. Just because the Bible didn't mention it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

It wasn't an affair. They were married. And even if he did, why is everyone always picking on Jesus? Seriously, everyone's always trying to prove that he was bad or worng or didn't exist or something. If people want to believe that Jesus is the saviour, then let them. Why are people that choose not to believe so concerned about Jesus?

Don't do it! This is too huge a conflict and you would be setting yourselves up for either a miserable marriage, a divorce, or a shameful compromise of faith.

i think the bible was written in and for different times, if you didn't get divorced just for kicks its a ridiculous idea that you should live the rest of  your life alone becaues anyone or anything says you should. i think being a good person should be good enough, do what you feel is right.

Because nobody would have listened if Jesus was a girl; as an adult she wouldn't have even been allowed in the temple without a husband.

Jesus was a great teacher either way you look at it so no it would not have been bad if jesus was just a man as a matter of  fact i believe he was just a man.  doesnt mean that his teachings were anyless profound.

If the person has truly found Jesus and has repented of that unfortunate decision there is forgiveness and a new life in Christ. Then if that person is honest with the person they are going to marry I would see no problem in that.

Unlikely.  Judaism is not  as condemnatory of pre-marital sex and babies born out of wedlock as Christianity is.  In fact, strictly speaking their is no prohibition against pre-marital sex in the Torah, the ban was instituted by later Rabbis to prevent shame coming onto a woman or the appearance that she was a concubine or prostitute.\n\nSo the fact that Jesus was not Joseph's son would not have been viewed as a big deal at the time- the common assumption may well have been that the father was a Roman soldier since rape by Roman soldiers was a common occurence.

Because he was supposed to be set aside for sacrifice! Had he taken a mortal wife, he would've been communing with sin through the fact that as a mortal, His "wife" would've borne Him offspring with the sin curse placed upon them by the Fall of Man at the Garden of Eden. A Scripture says, " For what communion hath light with darkness and what concord hath Christ with Belial?" These things have people angered because they were taught to understand that Jesus had to be pure so that His sacrifice would be powerful enough to overcome ALL sin for ALL time! The reason it is permissible for pastors to marry is simple; they're human like everyone else and are apt to sin and temptation like everyone else! Another Scripture says, "For if they cannot contain, let them marry for it is better to marry than to burn." The Church, comprised of all believers is meant to be the Bride of Christ because through His cleansing blood shed on the Cross, we were made perfect enough to commune with Him. People are mad because the secular world is suggesting that the most perfect Man in history could possibly give in to the lust of the flesh, which is impossible because He had encounters with Satan himself and overcame him! Satan took Him to the top of a high mountain and tried to tell Him that if He would bow down and worship, he'd give Him all the kingdoms of the world. After this and many other temptations of Christ's flesh and spirit, He told Satan, "Get thee hence!" Or basically, "Get away from me!" Which is of course the same authority all Christians have over sin and temptation if they grasp the concept of salvation and their rightful place in God's kingdom as heirs to Heaven.

not at all. As a Christian, my concern is for those who are not well grounded in the faith or who do not have working knowledge of the Bible. Jesus Christ is divine. The movie challenges (without any proof) that Jesus was married. Jesus was the sinless sacrifice for our sins, perfect w/out blemish. There are Roman historical accounts of the man named Jesus as well as in Jewish record. From a secular perspective, don't you think the Jews and the Romans would have been all over Jesus being married? Also, the writers of the four Gospels all died for what they believed as well as countless other martyrs. The real truth, however, can be seen in the countless lives Jesus has transformed for good. \nThe Bible has survived thousands of years of inquiry, a movie is not going to challenge it. Don't allow yourself to be deceived.

No, he had a mission to go to the cross and not to get married. If he married, he would have been disobeying His Father because it was not his mission. And, in addition, if He did marry, it would say so in the Bible.

I never understood why 2 men (or 2 women) who love eachother and are not hurting others should be punished by death BUT Muslims can highly exalt a man (even above Jesus) who married a 9 year old girl. Don't you think a grown man HURTS a 9 year old girl? That would be the one thing that would prevent me from ever being Muslim if there was ever a chance for it in the first place.

The church has a tradition of molesting and abusing children which goes back centuries. Maybe because there is nothing in the bible that specifically says harming children is wrong. In fact Psalms:137:9 says Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.

I don't think it's that big of a deal either. Whether Jesus was married or not changes nothing for me. And it seems to make more sense that he was with Mary all the time if she was his wife, I always found it odd that he hung out with a prostitute. I think Catholics see sex as "sinful" so Jesus can't have any part of that. But then why is called Holy Matrimony? How is it wrong with your spouse? i don't care either way, there are more important issues for people to argue over!

No, according to the Bible it never said Jesus was married, nor did he have a daughter. His bride is the church and he is coming back for his church soon.
