I make no speculation. Jesus was celibate. He could never have taken a wife.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Unless you can point to a scripture, then you are speculating.

Personally, I do not speculate. The scriptures are silent on this point. I do not know and will refrain from any speculation on Christ’s marital status.

Nope. Remember, you didn’t even know Christ was called high priest in Hebrews 3.

“Personally, I do not speculate. The scriptures are silent on this point. I do not know and will refrain from any speculation on Christ’s marital status.”

The scriptures are not silent. Christ NEVER MARRIED A WOMAN. His bride is the Church. IS this news to you like Christ being the high priest?

2 Corinthians 11:2-3

2 I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy. I promised you to one husband, to Christ, so that I might present you as a pure virgin to him.

John 3:29-30

29 The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete. 30 He must become greater; I must become less.

Revelation 19:6-8

6 Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: “Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. 7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. 8 Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.”

Ephesians 5:25-28

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

Christ would never have more than one bride. His ONE bride is the Church. Period.

How about you point to a scripture that specifies which books should be included in the Bible and which should not. Who decided which books were inspire and which were not?
