Was Jesus married?

[naomi24]

My apologies to Duncer for swiping this off his thread in Chatterbank - I hope he doesn't mind - but I thought perhaps R&Sers might find it interesting.

No he was not married it never says he was in the Bible :)

Where was the stag-do?

i have recently just read an article in the mail about this exact topic.

[Duncer]

For any apologies to be accepted a suitable (but not religious) penance will need to be paid Naomi?

[naomi24]

Duncer, Oh my! Now I've been and gone and dunnit! :o))

Sith, and your conclusions were..... ?

[Duncer]

"Duncer, Oh my! Now I've been and gone and dunnit! :o)) "

Not yet you haven't but you'll need to. :-)

In the bible it doesn't say he was married, but then again it doesn't say he wasn't married.
Unless someone comes up with some photo's of Mary Magdalene in a white frock and veil or an ancient wedding/stag do invitation, we will never know.

[naomi24]

Duncer, haaaaa! Smacked legs!! :o)

[Duncer]

That's only the foreplay.......

Smut in Religion & Spirituality? Tsk tsk

[Infomaniac]

It would have been strange if he wasn't married: he was a rabbi and they were obliged to be married. Just because the bible doesn't mentiion it doesn't mean a thing.

[Duncer]

"Smut in Religion & Spirituality? Tsk tsk"

Mrs O - Reminds me of Woody Allen's "Is sex dirty"?

"Only if it's done properly".

[naomi24]

Duncer, you’re incorrigible – but you make me laugh. Thank you – I need a laugh right now. :o)

Mrs O, oh, we do smut too, you know. ;o)

Infomaniac, quite right. There is some evidence that he may well have been married - or at least that he and Mary Magdalene were 'an item'. There is a rather plausible theory that the wedding at Cana may have actually been his wedding to Mary.

[Duncer]

If you saw me naked you'd laugh even more.

I can live with "incorrigible" though, it's a step up from "pervert".

[naomi24]

In that case if you switched the lights off - and didn't keep your socks on, maybe I could cope. :o)

[beso]

There is no contemporary evidence that Jesus even existed let alone was married.

The impossible acts attributed to the character by the Bible clearly suggests the whole story is a myth.

[naomi24]

I think he probably existed - but the impossible acts are something else entirely.

Surely he was "married to the job".
