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

And what plan did God have for his son?

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.

You're reading out of the mormon book again. Go back and read the New Testiment. This time, try not to "ponder" but read the word of 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.

It's obvious you don't read the bible so I'll stop and let you catch up. Try putting away the mormon book and focus on God's word, ( which is in the bible) not the ramblings of a polygamist.

You love to sneer and smear ideas you don’t like, but you have yet to present any valid rational from the scriptures for your views.

“You’re reading out of the mormon book again.”

Nope, the Book of Mormon doesn’t say anything about Christ having a family (or not) either. It is the Bible that commands us to multiply and replenish the earth, if you want to argue that Christ had an exemption from that (or that doing that, plus being the Savior would just be too much for the guy), show me in the scriptures where it says so.

I don’t know if he did or didn’t, I don’t really care since it makes no difference to the fact that he is my Savior.

“focus on God’s word, ( which is in the bible) not the ramblings of a polygamist.”

You mean like Abraham, or Jacob? God so favored Jacob that he blessed him that all children from all his wives were made God’s chosen people.
