It is not official church doctrine on either point. Many of us believe that Christ married Mary Magdaline, but I haven't heard any speculation on the children part. Anyway, it is something which isn't extremely important to us right now--the important thing is knowing that Christ is our Savior.

Yes - and don't believe the above nonsense about it being "just an opinion" - the LDS "Apostles" are supposed to be Prophets. This IS LDS doctrine:
Journals of Discourses, Vol. 2, pg: 210 - Apostle Orson Hyde:
I discover that some of the Eastern papers represent me as a great blasphemer, because I said, in my lecture on Marriage, at our last Conference, that Jesus Christ was married at Cana of Galilee, that Mary, Martha, and others were his wives, and that he begat children.
All that I have to say in reply to that charge is this--they worship a Savior that is too pure and holy to fulfill the commands of his Father. I worship one that is just pure and holy enough "to fulfill all righteousness;" not only the righteous law of baptism, but the still more righteous and important law "to multiply and replenish the earth." Startle not at this! for even the Father himself honored that law by coming down to Mary, ....
Journals of Discourses, Vol. 13, pg: 309 - Prophet Brigham Young:
The Scriptures says that He, the Lord, came walking in the Temple, with His train; I do not know who they were, unless His wives and children; but at any rate they filled the Temple, and how many there were who could not get into the Temple I cannot say.

I don't know that we TEACH this, but there are many Mormons who believe that Jesus very well could have been married, and had children. A few even believe that He could have had more than one wife. I don't know that this is so far out. Jesus sanctified baptism by being baptised, even tho He didn't need it. So, why would He not sanctify marriage, family, and the marriage bed by getting married and having children?

we do no longer extremely understand lots approximately Heavenly mom. maximum of what's taught is concept, and little or no is truthfully taught. One thought is that the call of Heavenly mom is awareness, in view that awareness is personified in some old testomony books. yet another is that the call Elohim is plural and refers to the two God the father and his spouse. i do no longer understand lots related to the Kabbala, different than that Joseph Smith has been accused of borrowing from it - as though he had any get right of entry to in 1830 to secret Jewish teachings. that's a form of peripheral doctrines that may not be mandatory for our religious progression.

I dunno. The Catholic Church and the majority of all other Christian Churches do not!!!! That's all I know. I don't believe Jesus had wives and children. Never have, never will.

whether it does or not, one has to believe that if he is the son of god, then he must obey the laws of his father. (1) be fruitfull and multiply. (2) a man shall leave his mother and father and cleve to his wife.

No. I'm a member, we do not. Some people speculate that He might have, but that's just what it is--speculation.

They don't think it is impossible. And to be honest, that makes sense.
