"Hate to break it to you, but God gave us sex, we are designed for it"

You keep confusing your mormon agenda with the bible. You've never answered the question. To who's glory would it benefit if Jesus was married. Don't change the subject please keep focused.

Agreed. And we can’t say with any certainty either way on it. The issue just isn’t addressed.

The issue is addressed. Jesus died on the cross.

Hate to break it to you, but God gave us sex, we are designed for it, and commanded to it within the bounds of marriage. This was done BEFORE the fall so don’t pass it off as some dirty thing God holds his nose and tolerates out of practical necessity, it was part of his intention from the beginning.

Never said sex was dirty. You are projecting. We are talking about the mission of God's son Jesus, not men.

Abusing it is immoral and deeply offensive to God, but for a husband and wife to love each other and to be with each other is pleasing to God, and enjoying doing what is pleasing to God is not wrong.

Where does this have to do with God's plan for Jesus?

If you have a problem with any of that, take it up with God.

But down the book of mormon and read the bible.

Isaiah 55

7 Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.

8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD.

“To who’s glory would it benefit if Jesus was married.”

Being a righteous husband and father glorifies God and furthers his plan for mankind every time it is done.

“The issue is addressed. Jesus died on the cross.”

Dying on the cross and having a family are not mutually exclusive. There is no reason in scripture to think that having a family would prevent him from atoning for our sins, that is an idea men invented.

Nor is there any cause to claim it would be contrary to God’s will. Christ was obligated to keep the same commandments as the rest of the Jews. He did not need a remission of sins, yet he was baptized in order to be obedient, there was no exemption for him even though he was God. It isn’t a big stretch at all to suggest the command to multiply and replenish the earth was also a command he was obligated to obey.

“But down the book of mormon and read the bible. Isaiah 55...”

I read the Bible quite a bit, what you quote settles absolutely nothing in this matter or any other specific issue. I can just as easily toss it back saying it applies to your opinion.
