Not sure if considering it is heresy, but it sure makes a person look stoopid, all things considered.

sorry about that........

Why? If Jesus was called 'Rabbi' (and he was); a Rabbi must be married (by Jewish Talmudic laws). Jesus was called 'Rabbi' by Peter (Mark 9:5; 11:21), by Judas (Matthew 26:25,49), and by Nathanael (John 1:49), and other disciples (John 1:38; 4:31; 9:2; 11:8), He acknowledged the title without dispute.Great masses of the people also called Him "Rabbi" (John 6:25); and when Nicodemus, a Pharisee, and a ruler of the Jews acknowledged Jesus as "Rabbi", it was conclusive evidence that Jesus was a Jewish Rabbi (John 3:1-2).

So, again why is anyone who would suppose that Christ was married be considered 'stoopid'. Jesus was a Jew, and as such followed certain perscribed dietary restrictions, was held to certain acts of conduct, and observed traditional Jewish customs.

Again, why is supposing that Jesus Christ was married such a leap? Why does that cause people to question his message?
