No. Next question, please.
The gospels do not say.
CHRIST BRIDE IS THE CHURCH!!!
I actually had a boss once upon a time who thought “The Da Vinci Code” was genuine.
I Didn’t know whether to be offended, amused, or appalled.
Why would God need a wife? Ridiculous.
And why is it important if he was/ was not?
what difference would it make?
A 33 year old man in those days was 3/4 of the way through his life.
It all makes since to die a martyrs death for a lie, not. Even the Jews record his death for sorcery in the Babylonian Talmud.
As for the church, our theology is framed by God's Word, not man's sinful opinions.
Concerning Dan brown and the Da Vinci Code;
It drives me crazy that the author and you fail to mention the actual historians that Dan Brown stole his material from.
All of this information came from Holy Blood, Holy Grail by Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh and Henry Lincoln. This was a very well researched book that dealt in those theories, and explains why the French are supreme jerks.
If Jesus is the Lamb of God
And Jesus is the child of Mary
Did Mary have a Little Lamb?
Humor intended!
If you read the scriptures carefully, the most likely woman to have been married to Jesus was Mary, the sister of Lazarus. I have no doubt she was in love with Him.
She was by His side whenever she could. It was Mary who anointed Jesus with pure Nard, that most likely was part of, if not all of, her dowry. She behaved as a wife would, preparing her husband for burial.
We will never know for sure, we do know He was not married to Mary Magdalene.
Amen. Christ does indeed have a Bride. The pure spotless Church that He shed His blood to purify and redeem. What a wedding that is going to be! Come quickly Lord Jesus
Several places in the Scripture he is addressed as Rabbi.
Hebrew law says you have to be married to be a Rabbi.
I’d believe that he was married, but it’s anyone’s guess as to to who was his wife.
I am surprised that Simcha Jacobovici, aka ‘The Naked Archeologist’, has not gone the other way in his arguments that Jesus was not the Son of God. Since Jesus had twelve disciples with whom He did life for three years, I am surprised that Jacobovici did not call Jesus a homosexual. Of course, perhaps after he is introduced to enough evidence refuting his current claim, he’ll move on to the homosexual claim. Jacobovici is merely an attention whore.
“The fact is that none of the four Gospels say that Jesus was celibate.”
Though Jesus was called “Rabbi” by his followers, there is no indication that he held the formal, official office. His followers addressed him as such simply because he was their “teacher.”
I always wonder why it called it out.
You’re right about Dan Brown stealing the plot. But it’s not particularly well researched, and at least one of the authors has since repudiated it.
