Of course the Christian’s deified rabbi had a wife! If he followed the Torah in letter and Spirit he certainly was. Of course, I’ll get flack about it, but here are the commandments.
(Keep in mind that Jewish men are supposed to get married per God, but rabbis doubly so because they set the example.)

Two times God says to go forth and multiply.
Genesis 1:28 and 9:7 (have children)

God officiated Adam and Eve’s marriage. Genesis 2:24

Then take a look at Deuteronomy, chapter 24:1-5.

Marry childless brother’s widow (even if you are already married. This is known as ‘yibum.’). Deuteronomy 25:5

If a man (or woman) refuses to marry his brother’s widow then he must perform the commandment called ‘chalitzah’ in order to free her from the required marriage and allow her to marry someone else. Deuteronomy 25:7-10

The rapist must marry the maiden (if she chooses to do so). Deuteronomy 22:29

The slanderer must remain married to the wife he slandered and not allowed to divorce her. Deuteronomy 22:19

Not to marry a woman and her daughter, or her son’s daughter, or her daughter’s daughter. Leviticus 18:17

Not to marry non-Jews. Deuteronomy 7:3

Not to let Moabite and Ammonite males marry into the Jewish people. Deuteronomy 23:4 (Doesn’t really apply any more since Moabites and Ammonites don’t exist now.)

Don’t keep a third generation Egyptian convert from marrying into the Jewish people. Deuteronomy 23:8-9

Not to refrain from marrying a third generation Edomite convert. Deuteronomy 23:8-9 (Doesn’t really apply since there are no more third generation Edomites around.)

Not to let a bastard marry into the Jewish people. Deuteronomy 23:3

Not to let a eunuch marry into the Jewish people. Deuteronomy 23:2

The high priest (cohen) must not marry a widow. Leviticus 21:14

The high priest (cohen) must marry a virgin maiden. Leviticus 21:13

A high priest (cohen) must not marry a divorcee. Leviticus 21:7

A cohen must not marry a zonah (a woman who had forbidden relations) or a chalalah Leviticus 21:7

So either the Christian’s defied rabbi and Paul/Saul are either a card-carrying Jews who followed Torah to the letter as well as in Spirit, or what is written in the Christian’s New Testament is a lie or a mis-translation.
Also, take a look at this article and see what you think.

Was the Apostle Paul Married?

Simple answer. Jesus did marry and God did officiate the ceremony. It was when Jesus was crucified as the sacrificial offering of the New Covenant for His Bride, the Church.

What you posted does not in any way contradict that understanding of the greater truth.

[unlearner]

Jesus taught that there are three types of eunuchs- those born so (by physical or mental defect who are unable to marry), those who are made eunuchs by men (such as Daniel and his three friends), and those who make themselves eunuchs for God (such as John the Baptist, Paul, and possibly Elijah). (See Matthew 19:12.)

I won’t give you any flack. But, I will tell you that you have no idea what you are talking about. I can cherry pick scriptures and probably give you thousands of “guesses”. Your cherry picks here are taken out of context of the verses before and after the ones you chose. Your lack of knowledge of the Scriptures is showing. I’d suggest, if you are not saved, that you take that route first. Then the Scriptures will be opened up to you by the Holy Spirit. Cherry picking will not reveal this to you.
