I have another question?

Did Jesus have wive(s) when he was walking the earth ~2000 years ago.

Or is just another doctrine that was widely preached (documented) and now is refuted?

We know that you have a site where you have your beliefs. But, where do we go to find “TRUE” Mormon doctrine. Since we can’t go with what Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, Talmadge, McConkie said. Just who is in charge? Who do we believe? Since there is so much doctrine that oscillates to-and-fro.

The Gospel according to DelphiUser?

CM - I have another question?

I'll send you my bill later... :-) CM - Did Jesus have wive(s) when he was walking the earth ~2000 years ago.

Have you been reading the Davinchi Code again?

It is an interesting theory and stems partly from the fact that in Jewish society a man would not start his own life until he was married, then Jesus' first miracle was at a wedding where the guests came to his mother about the wine (The groom traditionally supplied the wine at a wedding) and Jesus' mother came to him. Mary Magdalen is the suspected bride because she was a distant cousin and hung around with Jesus and the apostles and was present at bot his crucifixion and his burial (both things she would normally have been excluded from if not immediate family) This is all speculation, we have no doctrinal statement one way or another.

Widely preached? LOL!

The only authoritative sites are http://www.lds.org and http://www.mormons.org

CM - The Gospel according to DelphiUser?

My beliefs are my own, and as a sovereign person in the united states, I am solely responsible for them.

The LDS church sets standards for membership and for Temple recommends.

I am currently a member of the LDS church in good standing, and hold a Temple recommend with all the attendant requirements for my knowledge and compliance.

Feel free to believe whatever you want, but when you speak of Mormon Doctrine, only the Canonized scriptures of the church are authoritative.
