OY VEY!!!
Are the Christians here really this ignorant. The First commandment mentioned in Torah is Be fruitful and multiply. Meaning having lots of kids.

Suzanne while I disagree with your answer I want to thank you for an intelligent one. I was getting nervous there wouldn’t be any intelligent Christian answers.

Those of you answering that these commandments were somehow superceded by Mosaic Law are incorrect. These do apply to Jews -- and Gentiles, too.
Here, God is speaking to Adam and Eve, the world's first married couple. So in this context, God commands MARRIED COUPLES to procreate. This is not a commandment to marry. Without a wife, there was no command compelling Jesus to procreate.
So inadvertently, you've actually proven that Jesus didn't marry. Good job!
EDIT: Thanks, Quantrill. I appreciate it. I just had a thought -- didn't God command Jeremiah to remain unmarried? I'm sure you see where I'm going with that .......

Jesus brought life to the law, people lived the law to the letter of the law and had become dead in the law, Jesus brought forgiveness and mercy to the law.
The first commandment is: I am the Lord thy God, thou shalt have no other Gods before me.
To go forth and multiply is not a commandment.
Jesus' personal life would be none of yours nor anyone Else's business otherwise we would of been told about it if it were.

That commandment was given specifically to Adam and Eve. The rest of the commandment says to fill the earth, because they were the only two on it. It was given again to Noah and his family after the flood, again with the trailer to fill the earth. At the time of Jesus the earth was already populated. And according to your logic any Jewish man or woman who remains single or is unable to have children is not going to enjoy the promises of God given to the nation of Israel.

That commandment was directed specifically to Adam and Eve, and then repeated to the flood survivors. This was never a direct command to the Nation of Israel, who were subject to the Mosaic Law of which we speak. Jesus had his own specific assignment to carry out which was separate from God's command to Adam Eve and Noah's kids . . .

The Books of Moses and the Law (written by the very hand of God) are two different things.
Jesus fulfilled the Laws of God. Jesus Christ is our law-keeper, having paid the penalty for our disobedience of the Law. Christ is our eternal High Priest appointed by and of God in the true heavenly tabernacle of which the earthly tabernacle is only a model. No one including Israel can keep the Law.
The Books of Moses that followed taught the Laws of the Altar, servants, animal control, property, moral and ceremonial principles. offerings, priestly rituals, etc. In other words, they taught duties of man and provisions for man's needs.
Remember Jesus is God in the flesh, who came for one purpose only, and that was to be a propitiation (i.e, coverning atonement) for the sin of all Mankind through the Jewish lineage.

Incorrect, The 1st Commandment is:
Exd 20:3 ¶ Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Be fruitful and multiply was not one of the ten commandments

Jesus came to fulfill the Law. There are no commandments concerning having children.

Jesus had no physical beauty; nothing what would attract anyone.
This is so that people would focus on the message rather than the messenger.
If Jesus would have had a family, he would have been distracted from his REAL "mission" of proclaiming the good news.

I don't think that that is the Christian doctrine Torah and if it is - we are His children. He did not give birth to us but the Torah does not say that you have to give birth. God is not maried to a human to have kids, but the Bible says that His bride is the church and we are His children.
