And what would Jesus being married and fathering a child have do with one most important part of Christianity: the empty tomb?

Huh?

Have to DO?

Why simple. if He was married; He never DIED!!!

The tomb was empty 'cause He never DIED!!!!

No death: no resurrection...

No resurrection: No hope!!!


NIV 1 Corinthians 15:12-26
 12.  But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
 13.  If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised.
 14.  And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith.
 15.  More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised.
 16.  For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either.
 17.  And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.
 18.  Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost.
 19.  If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men.
 20.  But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
 21.  For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
 22.  For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
 23.  But each in his own turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him.
 24.  Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.

My point was that Christianity is all about the empty tomb. Whether or not Christ was married or had children is totally irrelevant.
