I for one do not believe Jesus was married... But even if he was, where is the sin in that? Marriage an institution blessed by God.

I am a Bible believing Christian, but there are a few things that leave to question. Who's wedding was it at Canaan? In those days, the groom was responsible for the wine. Why would Mary turn to Jesus and say we are out of wine?

Is it possible, yes... but I don't believe it.

Where is Childbirth a sin. Or having offspring? After all Jesus is the Son of God and was born from woman...

If Jesus was married and had marital relations and had sired offspring... where is the sin in that?

"Who's wedding was it at Canaan? In those days, the groom was responsible for the wine. Why would Mary turn to Jesus and say we are out of wine?"

John 2:1 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine." 4 "Woman, [a] why do you involve me?" Jesus replied. "My hour has not yet come." 5 His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."

If the wedding was Jesus', then why did Jesus invite himself?

If the groom was responsible for the wine, then why did Jesus question Mary's making him responsible?

Perhaps you would think it a sin to knowingly marry someone that you could not be there to provide for.
Jesus knew he would not be present after his assumption to care for a child or a wife. He declaired that type of person an infidel. I would think that he would value any women highly enough not to leave them high and dry after he was gone.

He asked another to care for his mother at the end. No mention of a wife, and Mary Mag was present.

It is said, by Jesus, that marriage makes a man and woman "one" in God's eyes.

If Jesus and Mary married, then they would be one. So is Mary now God?

Also, recheck the wedding at Canaa. Jesus and His guests were invited

"I for one do not believe Jesus was married... But even if he was, where is the sin in that? Marriage an institution blessed by God."

Matthew 19:12 (New International Version)

For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage[a]because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it."

"I am a Bible believing Christian, but there are a few things that leave to question. Who's wedding was it at Canaan? In those days, the groom was responsible for the wine. Why would Mary turn to Jesus and say we are out of wine?"

Jesus was invited to the party.

"Is it possible, yes... but I don't believe it.

"Where is Childbirth a sin. Or having offspring? After all Jesus is the Son of God and was born from woman...

"If Jesus was married and had marital relations and had sired offspring... where is the sin in that?

"It is not whether it is a sin to have children or not. Not all things that are legal/lawful are not permissable for every person:

1 Corinthians 10:23 (King James Version)

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

.......................................................
In my honest opinion, Jesus had certain legal requirements in remaining single and childless. One of which is that it mad the body of Christ able to legally take the role of His bride and also to inherit the blessing that go with it:

Isaiah 53:12 (King James Version)

Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

I haven't seen anyone say that being married is a sin. The issue is that the DaVinci Code tries to deny the diety of Christ and make him human only.

The story is not about sin. It is about intrigue.
