Do you really think Mary Magdalene married Jesus?

Question

First I do not believe Jesus married but let's have a pratical argument. Women would you choose to marry a man who is always right, could strike you dead with a thought, has a powerful Father,does not get paid, has no house, no donkey for transportation, no time or privacy for you, all those people following him around, and all those women worshipping him? I can honestly say that if these qualities applied to ANY other male I wouldn't marry him. That is just a little info and question for those who say he did Marry.
Peace Of Christ Be With You,

Oh and has 12 best friends who like to fish.

I as a woman expect my husband to put me before his friends and his work. And there were unmarried jewish monastics.Many prophets were not married.

Answer 1

Probably not, but it's a neat idea.

Answer 2

Touche! Personally, I think they didn't marry, but so what if they did? I'm Catholic, and I've been told by church leaders I can't read The DaVinci Code or see the movie!!

As for Jesus' social standing, I agree with you. He certainly wouldn't have been a great catch...although, I don't think golf was around yet, so Mary Magdalene wouldn't have been a golf widow!

If they did marry, again...so? I believe at the time he would have been obligated to marry, as the only son of a widowed mother. That of course begs the question...did Mary have other children with Joseph?

All mysteries...all up to each individual what to believe. Live a good life and be kind and I'm pretty sure they'll be a place for all of us in Heaven.

Peace to you.

Answer 3

i do not realize why non secular Christians and orthodoxes do no longer believe that Magdalene changed into married to Jesus. Do you imagine marriage lessens the importance and charm of Jesus? No. Marriage isn't a sin. Even those situations also it changed into no longer a sin. Jesus changed into an finished guy AND finished GOD. If felt starvation, discomfort, he also necessary a spouse. And if he married Magdalene he committed no sin. Now why changed into she status faraway?. young women at present were no longer so positive, free and ambitious. They were made to be shy. She changed into enormously wondered with a wondered recommendations. on the different hand their marriage turned right into a secret and had she come closer, the secrecy may have opened. it is been scientifically proved that they were married to at least one yet another. technological understanding has proved it that is a boon from above.

Answer 4

Yes! They lived in France and had children and theres a whole religion called the Cathars there its in history you should read about it, its very interesting. It is possible for mary to have given Jesus herbs in the water while he was on the cross to make him look dead, just like in romeo and juliet, and then he got to fully experience being human by loving a woman, being married and having kids. Men wrote the bible and chose what they wanted in there and how they wanted it interpreted, they left alot out, and I want to see those lost books. I want the truth to come out. I want to know who Jesus really was and believed. I am not afraid of change.
Mary loved him and was his companion, the guys didnt like it, and saw her as a threat. I think the culture of the time didnt think much of women but Jesus did, and he would too because he was a champion for the underdogs, the sick, the children, why not women. Perhaps Jesus was much more balanced. Perhaps it was a mans idea that women be seen as subserviant, instead of man and woman in balance.

Answer 5

Wow, if Christ can't qualify as an ideal husband, than these poor chaps wandering the earth today haven't got a chance.

I don't presume to know for sure, but I've heard a lot of good arguments that He was married - namely:

to be a rabbi like he was called, you have to be married.

The water to wine miracle at the wedding feast - it was traditionally the grooms responsibility to provide the wine.

It was traditionally the wife's responsibility to bring the herbs and ointment to her husband's body

He appeared first to Mary Magdelain after His resurrection

But the whole Davinci Code argument that Him being married somehow makes him not the son of God seems like a huge gap in logic to me. The only thing Him being married would prove is that the practice of celibacy is probably a little off the charts. Is that really all that shattering to Christianity as we know it?

Answer 6

But it is odd that a man of Jesus' age (30) and of the Jewish faith would not have been married at that time.

And since much of Jesus' life has been omitted from the Bible, who is to say 'yes' or 'no'.

Perhaps not Mary Magdalene, but someone.

But Jesus does not strike me as a man who could smite you with a thought; otherwise, wouldn't the moneylenders in the temple died where they stood?

Answer 7

I have to tell you----you are funny. No---Christ did not marry Mary. But I hadn't thought about those reasons. You should probably try out for "LAST COMIC STANDING" and you could be the FIRST COMIC STANDING to get a laugh without using four letter words or inuendoes. :-) Congrats on being so creative and imaginative.

Answer 8

Of course not. First, that would have been big news and written about everywhere. Second, that would have changed what Christ did on the cross, he would have provided a care taker for His mother AND His wife. Third, a secret marriage would not have been acceptable to either one of them.

Answer 9

I think there's a good possibility, given the time period and the way of life. And why is it such an awful thing if he did marry? (I have yet to find an acceptable answer to this question!)

Answer 10

Let's face it he was news worthy. Raised the dead, healed the sick and walked on water.
Now don't you think with four seperate men writing about it someone would have mentioned it.
Somewhere!
If someone did that today I know his marriage would make the six oclock news.

Answer 11

No, he did not marry. there are plenty of BIBLE quotations to prove that he was unmarried and did not procreate. The entire idea is an interesting THEORY but non-the-less, false.
