Did Jesus have any children? Or siblings? Because otherwise I don't see how he may have any family members living today...

The children of jesus would be a showstopper, from turning water into beer for his frat pals, or making his money by curing the blind, he'd be famous for his miracles.
Or as I personally believe, jesus may have children, but Jesus was an ordinary guy anyways, so whatever.

Jesus was born in a Jews family and was hanged to the tree for their family members and gentles too. You can count how many Jews are living now in the World.

Bare with me..... I'm pretty spiritual, not your typical religious christian church goer. This is strictly my opinion and not meant to offend you or anyone else in anyway. I believe that most christian religions got lost along the way and caught up in a religion about Jesus, rather then of Jesus. Taking his words and metaphores in a very litteral sense rather then looking at what he truely meant & wanted to share with everyone. I think the message of the gospels have been misunderstood, made to appear to say that Jesus was really 'God taking the form of man, standing astride the world like a great Colossus, with bolts of heaven in His hands'. That fails to take into account his discovery and theme behind all of his teaching, unity and the presence of God and divinity in everyone. I don't think he was a worker of magic or the miraculous, but essentially a teacher. He did demonstrate unusual power, even over the elements - but he explained it was evidence of the power that could come to anyone who makes the discovery in themself of the great within. I think his goal was to help everyone discover this great potential within for themselves, rather then worship him. He said,"He that believith on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto the Father" - I think Jesus was a human trying to say "if you have faith in me and what I do, then you have faith in what I believe- the presence of God is within everyone and there's true potential divinity in everyone who's willing to connect and stay connected with the source, then you actually believe that of yourself and you can do all I have and more because I've made the discovery". And in believing that he was a real flesh and bone man, divine, master of spirituality and great teacher of a man at that, I sure as hell hope he was able to have a family at one point! Why shouldn't he have been able to experience that - And if he did have decendants whether from him or others in his family, who knows who or how many there are, and from what I've learned and gotten out of his teachings it only means their related to the spiritual-revolutionary at heart person who made this great discovery long ago working to teach everyone he could, about it - if you were a descendant of Jesus it wouldn't make you any wholier than anyone else.

Yes!
the bible calls us gods, but adds a disclaimer that we (they) will die like princes. but Paul warned us against Vain genealogies. and jesus condemned the religioius leaders who claimed to SONs of Abraham, despite the fact that most of the sons of abraham conspired to commit murder. therefore Jesus rebuked them and called them children of the devil. To which they reviled against their own saviour and called him both a son of fornication and a prince of devils. LOL.
there is a good historian named Glenn Kimbal who has read over 2 million manuscripts. and he taught his belief that many of us are descended from christ and the royal lineage. but he also says a disclaimer.
dont put too much emphasis on your own lineage because Most people would be cast out into outer darkness regardless of their birth right if it was not for the saviours atonement.
Peace

Jesus had brothers and sisters, so certainly, there can be descendants of his bloodline, but not of Jesus himself. Jesus did not marry and he had no children.
Be of good faith, though. His message, his sacrifice and his resurrection were all part of something far, far more glorious than a simple honorific bloodline. It's an opportunity for a life apart from this one in the presence of God.

Jesus had brothers. It is reasonable to assume those brothers had children and their lineage continued.
It's also reasonable to assume Mary had brothers/sisters who also procreated (we could included Jospeh, but he wasn't related by blood).
I have no reason to believe you are a relative, though it's theoretically possible. For that matter, I could be.
What reasons do you have for believing you are?

Well, we know He had siblings from Mary and Joseph. He had no children, I'm absolutely sure of that. As for you, I have no idea. But we can join His lineage by giving our lives over to Him. Joint heirs with Christ. Do we deserve it, no, but God loves us that much anyway.

No, you coudn't be. The decendants of Jesus have no interest in genealogy. However, you can be an honorary one. There are signup forms at your local church.
