No it would not change my views. Jesus could have been married and had twenty children and it still wouldn't make Him any less Divine. He was human, with mans feelings and desires. Is it so unbelievable that He might have fallen in love and married someone? Maybe had some kids? And it wouldn't be in the Bible, because his marital and paternal status had NOTHING to do with the message He was sending.

No I don't, and yes it would. Had he a child, One of two things: He raised the child like a good father (remember how much he talks about helping widows? He wouldn't have left her widowed. *I won't even get into why He didn't even do that. Becki762 got that covered*) But more importantly, that would mean He wouldn't have ascended to Heaven to sit at the right hand of God. Which would have made Him a liar. And that being a lie, what else would have been a lie as well? Could we trust anything in the Bible after that? It was said that after three days He would rise again and be taken up to Heaven. That's what happened. And that's the rest..of the story. Good day!

there have been somewhat some religions around interior the 1st few centuries advert all based to a undeniable quantity on the existence and coaching of Jesus Christ. The Catholics have been the main nicely-known team and gave upward push to what all of us understand as Christianity - inspite of the reality that they later chop up into Catholicism, Orthodoxy and Protestantism. They observed the Jewish kind that celibate men have been the utmost variety of human existence. intercourse replaced into had to proceed the race, even though it replaced right into a contaminating impression on the male of the species. Their thought of Jesus as human perfection required him to be celibate. The Arians have been a secondary team who had comparable suggestions approximately Jesus being celibate perfection yet rejected the assumption of his divinity. That faith had a ability on the childhood of the prophet Mohammed and their suggestions proceed in Islam. The Gnostics have been a hybrid faith based upon the coaching of Jesus, Greek philosophy and Roman secret sects. They weren't anti-intercourse and their literature had memories of Jesus married to Mary Magdalene or a minimum of in a relationship together with her. They many times disappeared around the seventh century. the 1st Council of Nicaea went via each and all of the attainable non secular literature on the time and desperate what replaced into kosher and what wasn't. the effect replaced into what the Catholic and Orthodox church homes call the Bible (Luther desperate he did no longer like the countless previous testomony and the Protestant Bible leaves out a bite). the only Gnostic e book to make the terrific decrease replaced into Revelation - and that would not have any intercourse in it. each and every so often Gnostic literature is composed of mild - the main important haul being the ineffective Sea Scrolls. Mainstream Christianity could declare that those are works of fanciful fiction, even though it hasn't stopped countless authors (alongside with Dan Brown) from making a fortune out of conspiracy theories. the reality that Christianity is flourishing and that Gnosticism is long long gone (different than for some latter-day sects) factors to who replaced into good.

No it wouldnt change my view of christianity......I think its quite possible that it could have been what happened, but considering nobody was alive in those times who is to say whether it did or didnt......Just because it wasnt documented doesnt mean it didnt happen.

It would make him more human. Besides a single Jewish male over the age of 30? Almost unheard of.

No, He did not. Since He didn't, that makes the second half of your question irrelevant, at least in my view.

If that had happened, WE would not have a saviour today. It's
another lie, fabricated by the enemy of all that's just and holy.
I don't buy that lie!
