was virgin mary, mother of jesus, married to anyone?

Question

if so, who was she married to? also, was jesus married to anyone, and even he was, who was he married to?

Answer 1

Jesus may or may not have been married.

Mary certainly was.

Answer 2

Joseph was Mary's husband AND the father of Jesus. The lineage of Jesus is given in the Bible as evidence of his being a descendant of David in order to fulfill the prohesy of the Messiah.

He is descended from David on Josephs line. Had Mary been a virgin when she concieved, the geneology would have excluded Joseph in favor of the matriarchal blood line of Mary. Since the Jews follow matriarchal lines, this would have held more weight with the Jews.

Gentiles however follow mostly patriarchal blood lines, In claiming that Jesus is descended from David through Joseph, Luke invalidated the virgin birth to make the geneology acceptable to gentiles.

Paul, realizing this, wrote that the Christian faith "lives or dies resurrection" so less scrutiny would fall on the myth of the virgin birth.

Usually when a body goes missing as Christs did, there are earthly reasons. One passage of the Bible states that Jesus own mother did not recognize him as he hung on the cross. Another states that after the resurrection, Jesus appeared to the disciples as a different man. This has been the basis of many conspiracy theories.

Another reason that Jesus body may not have been in the tomb is simpler. Perhaps the body was moved to preserve it. Defacing monuments and bodies was common in the Middle East. It would not have been unusual to move his body if a threat had been made to vandalize his tomb. Again, due to conflicting Biblical accounts it is unclear how many days passed between the crucifiction and the resurrection.

Many theists point to accounts given by Roman soldiers that the tomb was guarded at all times until the body was discovered missing. Here, human nature steps in to clear up this myth. The Roman penalty for not performing your duty was imprisonment, torture, or death depending on the offence. Only a suicidal Centurian would have admitted to falling asleep or leaving his post.

However, back to your question. There is no evidence that Jesus married prior to the crucifiction. In order for him to have married and concieved children, he would have had to survive the cross. Any evidence that he did has most certainly been repressed or destroyed by the church long ago.

Even had he married and had children, the odds are that the bloodline died out long ago. Personally, I think he died on the cross and became Pauls political martyr in a time when religion and politics walked hand in hand.

Answer 3

Mary was married to Joseph. She was pregnant with Jesus when they married, but Joseph was OK with that because it was allegedly a virgin conception and the child of God. Some believe that Jesus had a brother, born after Jesus and presumably Joseph's son. But there's no way to prove this stuff since it's mostly made up anyway.
And, come now, surely you know that Jesus allegedly was never married to anyone--although the DaVinci Code posits that he married Mary Magdalene and they had a child. Personally, I think they fooled around, but there doesn't seem to be any record of a marriage.
This is why the Catholic church demands celibacy from its clergy, because Jesus was supposedly celibate. It's interesting that they made this rule up later. There were Popes in the early days of the church who were married and had children.

Answer 4

Mary was married to Joseph and after she gave birth to Jesus, she had more sons and daughters with Joseph. Both Joseph and Mary can be traced to King David even though Joseph was not the biological dad of Jesus. Jesus was never married.

Answer 5

Mary married Joseph before Jesus' birth. And no, Jesus did not marry.

Answer 6

Mary was married to Joseph. Jesus' state of marriage is debatable, but he may have been married to Mary Magdalene, either before or after the crucifixion. There are many different versions and theories of this story.

Answer 7

Mary, Jesus's mother, was married to Joseph. There is no evidence as to whether Jesus was married or not. Some say he was married to Mary Magdalene and others say he led a life of celibacy. Whoever tells you they have proof either way is a liar.

Answer 8

Mary Mother of God was married to Joseph the carpenter(Jesus' human father.) Jesus was not married to anyone.

Answer 9

Mary did marry Joseph who is Jesus Christ stepfather. Jesus has never married anyone when he was on earth. also Jesus never said he was god, he said he was the son of the Most Holy Father. Jehovah God. Jehovah is his Father. by the way. Mary is not God's mother. God does not have a mother. Mary is Jesus Christ mother. Jehovah God did not rape Mary. he used Holy Spirit

There are at least 45,000 Protestant churches in the U.S.

What caused all these different beliefs if the MESSAGE is so clear?

What makes you believe that you have more than a 1 in 45,000 chance of being in the 'correct' church?

Virgin Birth - A preconceived notion?

What is the Imacculate Conception?

An Imacculate deception?

Betcha don't know.

Did Jesus give up Saturday for us?

Jesus? Christianity? .

If Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.

Gods do not die? Do they?

If Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed?

If Jesus died for our sins, thre should not be any more sins.

If Jesus really DIED, he should be dead, dead, dead!

Answer 11

She was a single mom, after the so-called 'God' raped her, and Jesus grew up to be a pretty twisted child who married Mary Magdalene.

I'm just poking fun at christianity, right now, so no, I don't believe. Atheist and Satanist here.

But if Jesus existed, he married Mary Magdalene.
