If so, then why is so impossible for so many to believe that the Lord God/Jesus may have had relations with a woman? Had children? Given us hope and security by doing so? I have lost my faith but if something like that was true, I think I could understand my beliefs and the beliefs of those around me...

It is written Jesus felt our infirmities and felt compassion and healed the sick. & He bore our sins on the cross though He was sinless.
Jesus is very personable. Ask any one who loves Him. The church is the bride of Christ. The church is also born of God and are young in Spirit. Mary Magdaline was delivered from much & loves Jesus much. She was in the upper room on the day of penticost filled with the Holy Spirit. She is a bride of Christ.
If you chose to believe in apocraphal writtings you will not believe in the God of the bible. Remember, God loves His book, not the ones that add or take away from His Word.
The Gospel of Barnabas is apocraphal in that it denies the diety of Jesus Christ.
The books of the bible have been tried and found true. I have been filled with the Holy Spirit who leads me into all truth. And I can recognize a lie easily when I see one.
My Holy Spirit loves the bible and has in the past led me to throw out the mormon book and an apocraphal book because they add or take away from God's word. Actually God would not allow me to watch the DiVinci Code. It's apocraphal. God hates other doctrines. Read Revelations to the 7 Churches.
An excellent read is "The authority of the Bible, Why we can trust it, why we must obey it." in the July-August issue of Decision Magazine. It proves to me what the Lord has revealed to me about His bible during prayer and bible study.

#1 Because a family and a wife is so much to take care of and spend your time on.
#2 It isn't mentioned anywhere in the Bible
#3 If Jesus did have a relationship with anyone else then why on the cross did he tell John to take Mary as his mother and take care of her... why wouldn't he say something similar about his own wife and children?
Because he didn't have any
#4 The Bible talks about marriage. It says that once someone is married they are devoted to their spouse.. and most of their time and effort goes there to make it work and make the relationship a good one... but if a man is single .. then the majority of his time and effort can go towards living for God and having a relationship with him.
#5 The Bible would have said if Jesus was married or had kids because there is nothing wrong or sinful about having sex AFTER marriage or having kids.. so why would it leave that part out.. it doesn't make sense.. that would be a big part of his life to just "leave out"

Well- that's a trinitarian view of God. There are many, many Christians who don't believe that God, Jesus and HG are all the same thing. Some Christians believe that Jesus is God's son, not a Fruedian double or split personality.
And I know I'll get yelled at for this one, but it's not impossible to believe he had intimate relations if he was married. Not only that, but I fail to see the tremendous spiritual impact of that fact to any religion outside of Catholocism. Other Christian faiths allow their religious rulers to marry, so the impact of following Paul wouldn't seem to have the same implications, as does an advocacy of celibacy.

No, Jesus did not come to earth to experience human action/emotion.
He came to earth to pay the ultimate price for our sins. WHile he was tempted in everyway possible here on earth, he did not sin.
The hope and security that this gave us, was from the law, we are no longer bound by the law. All is allowed, but not all is good for us. To many tend to forget this. Once we are firmly convinced that the bible is true, all of it, not just parts, we will have what we call faith. It cannot be lost.
Of course once you are firmly convinced of the truth, you will start obeying what the word has to say, and once you start obeying GODs word, you will begin your walk with him that will last until you take your last breath here on this earth.
Do not depend on another human being for your faith. Depend on the bible and the bible alone. No human is going to be able to effectivelly answer all your questions. Go back to your bible, and if GOD has chosen you as one whose eyes will be opened to him, you will know it, and respond to GOD, not a teacher or preacher.

well in christian terms no because jesus was sent as a messiah. Then got crucified and came alive in 3 dys and 3 nights, and then some how jesus miraculously became god.
But jesus did'nt crucified and did'nt come back in 3 days and 3 nights and did'mt become god, he was just a messenger saying that there is olny 1 god

Why would having relations with a woman or having children make him any more human? There are people who are never fortunate enough to experience the joy of sexual love and making a family. Wouldn't he be experiencing the full realm of human emotion just as much by experiencing the difficulties of temptation and the sorrows of deprivation ?

God sent his only begotten Son(Jesus) on Earth to die for you and me. And to make non- believers into believers so that we may be saved, with the Father the Son and the Holy spirit, when Jesus died the holy spirit may be set loosed. Jesus Christ Is Lord. Who all can say that? I really want to know

God did not come to earth as Jesus. Jesus is not God, They are two separate beings. I'm not entirely sure where I stand on the issue of Him having a lady friend, but it is certainly plausible.

No I dont think so, because, in the old testament Jesus didnt exist yet. In the New Testament Jesus was born(Matthew), and Jesus still prayed to God along with the diciples.

Well, it seems kind of silly to me... especially when so many claim the Biblical God already Knows everything... why would he need to become a human.
Sex. It's a terrible thing to the very religious and, to them, it takes away the divinity of their saviour if you even think he had sex. Which I'm not sure how that works, considering that's how God created mankind to begin with.
