Was jesus sexually frustrated?

Question

Would it have been very strange for a jewish man not to have a wife by age 30 in those times?

Answer 1

what are you 12

Answer 2

That's actually a very good and legitimate question. Marriage was a big part of the Jewish world then, and by a very young age people were getting matched up and married. According to tradition, Jesus wasn't married and since he was 100% human and 100% divine, he put his divine calling first and was showing that at a very young age. Lately, with new books of the Bible and whatnot being unearthed and many documentarys trying to find out what "really happen", some do say that Jesus may have been married (the most popular theory of the marriage is that Mary Magdalene was his wife), This is NOT what Christian tradition says, but from a historical aspect this is believed by some scholars.

Answer 3

OK can I give you a serious answer. Unlike all that other dribble.

I would say "Yes" Jesus probably did get sexually frustrated. Because he had no wife. That was not part of his work on earth.

Jesus WAS God but sent as a MAN. He was sent as a man so he could DIE for our sins, but LIVED so we could come to Him because He had be though our problems and we could connect with His teachings. Jesus had a man's body for the soul reason that we could see that it was possible to live the was God wants us to. Even in times of frustration.Sure he was GOD and all but he still had to face trouble, temptation and everyday things. Being tempted is not a sin, giving in to something that's tempting you is.It is written that Jesus never sinned so he must have found a non physical way to deal with the frustration.

P.S. don't feel bad if you don't understand what Mr Minister wrote. I'm a christian and still don't get what his POINT was. That is no way to answer this question.

Answer 4

Actually it is very possible that Jesus may have married sometime during his lifetime. Although the bible doesn't state that he was married there is still a large portion of his life missing. It skips from his early teens to 30. Big skip don't you think?

According to Jewish tradition he would have been betrothed to someone. Again, there is no proof that he married but there are some interesting suggestions to be found. First, there is the wedding that he was "called to" in which he performed his famous water to wine miracle. If one were betrothed then the husband would have been "called" to the wedding at the appointed time. In addition, it would have been the groom's responsibility to provide wine at this own wedding. This he did in a rather miraculous fashion.

Answer 5

Jesus focus was not on finding a wife, as He stated many times. Regardless, a Jewish man was not able to speak for himself until the age of 30...very much like our culture's age 18 for being acountable as an adult.
Most marriages were arranged. Since that is the case, it is unlikely that His parents would have thought to arrange a marriage for Him.

Answer 6

stop regurgitating scripture... if you have no real historical proof, or any real knowledge of the people of the times... then please, noone wants to read a passage from Psalms as an answer...

Of course Jesus got down... most likely he has a blood line still in this world today... noone really denies he was a real man... but the son of God? A stretch... A great orator and leader, sure... A great and peaceful man, i can believe it... A middle-eastern jewish man, absolutely... This in and of itself makes it almost impossible that he was not married. But he was just that, a man with a message... just like Muhammad, Confucius, Buddha, and so on... most religions don't deify the originators of their religion... They respect and revere, but never deify...

Christians, take a chill pill... you don't have to make the world think like you... Fact is, the reason many countries hate us outright, is our christian-based society's unnerving and relentless attempts to make the world adopt our policies and lifestyles... The US and christianity as it is today is young when compared to the traditional religions and policies of countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, China, etc. whose religions and traditions reach back over 5,000 years or more.

Answer 7

Very strange indeed. Some are saying he was married to Mary Magdalen and the Di Vinci Code supposes that he had a daughter. Truth is we'll never know.

Answer 8

What does God call it? Preach love too you? Lets see what God says, to do with you.

You have unbeliever's. Chaff, Scoffers.

An Atheist is a scoffer. The WORD of God, clearly tells you the filhty rags they are, and to stay away from them, and avoid them. We are NOT to plant seeds. God knows it is useless and that is why he tells us, "You stand firm against them" ( Jer.17:8 14:1 Iah 44:4) You disassociate them completely. Any Believer that does not abide in God's own Word, does not know God, according too God Himself. Atheists are "chaff" A simile of the wretchedness of the wicked. Chaff is carried away by the lightest wind, and it's removal brings about cleansing by extracting what is utterly useless. (Ruth 1:22). They will NOT stand in the judgment. They will NOT be able to withstand God's wrath when He judges.( Paslams 76:7 Exra 9:15). This is not my opinion, this is God's very own Words, in the Bible. You know, the BIble? The same Bible atheist scholars quote. There is a reason God, said this. Psalms.1.1-3 Jer. 17:8 14:1 12. 1-2 18:9-10 Prov1.10-19 (vs 5) scoffers:(atheists) those who ridicule God and definatley reject His Law. Prov 1.:22 Ruth 1:22 Jer 18:7 (pull down-destroy) 1:10 (evil-calamity) 18:11

Pslams 1:
godly wisdom here, declare the final outcome of the two "ways". The paths of "sinners" (unbelievers) and the "way of the righteous. he speaks progressively of assoociation with the ungodly and participation in they're ungodly ways.

God said it. End of Story. Jesus Himself said "Let the dead bury they're dead".

Use all the Internet and Dictionaries they want to and call themselves anything they wish. God "defined" what they are by His own words.

They can hang a dog tag* around they're neck in the pits if hell itself and separate each other by name categorically.

God's Word said it. By God's definition. There is NO opinion.

Hate? Where do you get hate? If God's TRUTH is hate too you, then, so be it. You and God, can and will discuss the means of your sciptural interpretation, consisting with a man-made defacto on a motion of plea bargin I guess. I dunno.

Answer 9

Don't be fooled. There is proof that Jesus had no wife, and yes, he more than likely was sexually frustrated, but he didn't know any different than celibacy. remember, Jesus was fully man as well as fully God, so he was tempted in every way we are today. Even Satan himself tempted Jesus, but Jesus knew better.

Answer 10

Jesus was just as human as you & I...and I'm sure he experienced his times of "frustration" & quelled them in the same ways we do. He also was not without a wife...he had Mary Magdelene, with which they had 3 children...their lineage exists today, but is kept very secret for obvious reasons.
