The article went on to quote LDS Church spokesperson Dale Bills who had said this just a day earlier: "The belief that Christ was married has never been official church doctrine. It is neither sanctioned nor taught by the church. While it is true that a few church leaders in the mid-1800s expressed their opinions on the matter, it was not then, and is not now, church doctrine."

Brother Bills was correct. The belief that Jesus was married is an opinion, not an official doctrine of the Church. That is to say, has not been presented by the First Presidency as a revelation to the Church, nor has it been accepted as such by the Church. It is not taught in our official Sunday School manuals. Members are not expected to believe it.

Although the idea that Jesus might have been married does not bother me in the slightest, I remain unconvinced by the arguments I have heard. The evidence presented in the Bible is circumstantial at best, and I know of no latter-day revelation on the subject. If the Lord has not chosen to reveal the truth of the matter, it must not be important to know at this time.

Such a disclaimer once again exposes the duplicity of the LDS Church.

Only to those who are already convinced that the LDS Church is duplicitous.

Ahh, the official Morman Church acted out it’s belief in multiple wives which would tend to undermine part of your point. They indeed sanctioned and taught multiple wives were ok, so did they not assume Jesus sanctioned it himself?

revelation to the Church

Are the revelations considered to be directly from God or is the Church President a prophet?
