Would you marry a man who had no job, no house, no transportation, lived with His mother still, always traveled in a crowd, hung out with prostitutes,had no time for you, travels all the time, could offer you no privacy, and had 12 best male friends who liked to fish? Knowing these things only would you pick him for a husband? Now tell me why some still think Jesus was married to Mary Magdelene?

I am NOT calling Mary Magdelene a prostitute. Please read carefully.

I also forgot to mention He was PERFECT how could you ever win an argument with Him as a husband?

Personally. NO. But, I would not marry any man.
But...on the flip side of this coin.....
I love it, because this proves that Jesus does have a wife in the future, but it’s not Mary Magdalene, that all these corrupt versions I mentioned promote. Why? The Bible teaches that every born again believer becomes a member of the body of Christ instantaneously when he receives Jesus, I Corinthians 12:13. But he also becomes a member of the Bride of Christ. Every one saved from Pentecost until we hear, Come up hither, Revelation 4:1, is a member of the coming bride. Now, Revelation 19:7 says, let us give honor unto him, for the marriage of the Lamb, and the Lamb is Christ, has come. So the marriage takes place in heaven. Then He comes back to earth to set up His kingdom for 1,000 years, Revelation 20:4, and He honeymoons here with His bride, the church of Jesus Christ. And the Marriage Supper takes place here on earth, because all the saints who’ve died during the Tribulation hour have to be part of the Supper. :)
.How can genuine Christians not see the blasphemies within the book: “The Da Vinci Code?”
Well first of all, many Christians are just newly born again and they are called babes in Christ, I Peter 2:2. And they can’t take the meat of the Word. They have to exist on pabulum, so they never really grow in many instances.
Secondly, the Bible teaches in I Corinthians 3:1, Paul speaking, Brethern, when I came to you, I could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ, and he admitted that many of them were just carnal Christians, they had never grown in the Lord. They had not studied the Bible and that’s why II Timothy 2:15 says “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth.”
Thirdly, I John 4:1 says “Try, test the spirits to see whether they’re of God”. And some of us don’t have the spiritual fortitude and the Word of God within us to do it.

I wouldn't marry him because there is no need for the Son of God to marry a woman. But I would follow him and listen to his holy words.
Jesus, either you believe He was God or "just" the Son of God, had no reason to marry a human. He is divine. He is above us. He might have encountered humanly temptations of the flesh because He was human and Satan tempted Him often. But Jesus never gave into those temptations. How could God, or the Son of God sin against Himself!?!?!?!?! Mary Magdelene was a follower and a believers just like many women. She wasn't named as part of the '12 disciples' because she was a woman. Women followed, they didn't lead. That's why we have male priests and not female ones. But by definition of "disciple" she was a followers of Jesus Christ.
I pray for the people that have written books and made movies about Jesus being married. THey will have to face Him at the end and learn they were wrong.

Anyone saying such nonsense must be excused, they say it either in complete ignorance or as a mockery to Christians and Jesus. Anyone who has read the bible knows for a fact that nothing good or bad is withheld from scripture. From the fact that Lot had sex with his daughters to the fact that Peter denied Christ and Paul had a mysterious thorn in his flesh. The bible tells it like it is, straight truth, no lies or spin doctoring. If Jesus was married you would have read about it. If not in the bible then I'm sure Josephus or Tacitus, two contemporary historians would have mentioned it.

The prostitute part was made up by 666! What would you know about Mary Magdelene except some tripe Dan Brown sold just to get the attention of the Roman church.

First of all Jesus was a prophet and the story that the Bible tells us are tragically wrong. The latest testament is the Quran and it says that Jesus was one of Allah's many prophets. If he married we don't know anything about and we don't know if he was that busy as the Bible tells us. I believe that he came home to his wife as everyone else did after the working hours.
And I don't think that he was together with some whores no in that time it was common to marrie several wives only because of convenience. And another aspect is to provide for the women because they didn't have any income if they weren't married.
May Allah be with you

I do not claim that Mary Magdelene was Jesus' wife. But I do not deny it. It is so hard for you to even think of that possibility? Obvsiously, yes. After all, he had a human part too. And all the things you mentioned are totally unstable. After all, Mary followed him too, didn't she?
Anyway, I do not think that this will lead to anyware.

Mary Magdalene may or may not have been a prostitute - that is debatable, but I'm not about to get into that. Jesus was a young Jewish man, and it is not unreasonable to speculate that he might have been married to a woman who enjoyed travelling with him and his friends, and was very much a part of his life.
It would be nice if it could be established that he was married, then maybe priests could be too.

You had me until this point. ;) I've known women to marry some pretty shady characters, with less than desirable lifestyles - but then you hit this point, and, well, that might be the stickler.
