Possible—the hint that Jesus was married has been out there for a long time. BUT in truth, does it change the Message of Jesus? Not one bit. People who focus on this or his Virgin Birth are forgetting his message and life. As a wise old monk told me once—”Jesus didn’t die for you—he lived for you.”
Amen.
He lived to tell us how to live.
old monk told me onceJesus didnt die for youhe lived for you.
But God commends his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
And since the resurrection, Christ LIVES FOR US, being our advocate(defense lawyer) before the Father.
You were probably right to call your “wise old monk, OLD”!
Did the wise old monk point out to you that it is not an "either...or" proposition but a "both...and"?
"Jesus didn't only die for you-he lived (lives) for you, too."
Jesus didnt die for youhe lived for you.
I would say he did both!

Thanks!
True, His message and life are great; but without His being the Incarnate God and Crucified Savior, his words would remain the message of a very good carpenter who perhaps dabbled in hallucinogens.
“As a wise old monk told me onceJesus didnt die for youhe lived for you.
I think I may understand what the monk said, but stated just like that — that’s heresy in anyone’s book.
Old does not equal Wise.
