Are there people who claim to be descendants of Jesus' family alive in the world today?

Question

I totally do NOT believe the garbage from some of the bestsellers recently that suggest Jesus married and may have had children. But then, even athiest historians dismiss those books as rubbish!

But the question I ask concerns descendants of Jesus' family. While Jesus did not have children he had siblings, didn't he? And they had children, I would guess. He also may have had uncles and aunts. So he could have living descendants. Are there any people alive who claim to be his descendants? I know that some monarchs might claim to be linked to King David, so I guess if Jesus was in the line of David then maybe these monarchs could try and claim they are connected to Jesus by blood.

I think its an interesting question. But remember that I am asking if anyone *claims* to be related to Jesus. I phrase the question that way because, of course, any such claim could never be proven.

Answer 1

Jesus' blood bought us ALL with Him paying the price at Calvary!

We are ALL His descendants.

WHich ever ones don't want to claim it,....whatever.

Answer 2

IF Jesus replaced right into a real guy or woman, and the percentages are smart that he replaced into, all of us comprehend he had siblings already. interior the bible they're pronounced, even regardless of the undeniable fact that no longer all of them by potential of call. it is likewise tremendously plenty particular that he replaced into married if he replaced right into a rabbi. no it is common to admire a rabbi that wasn't at his age. Jesus had "brothers and sisters", as pronounced in Mark 6:3 and Matthew 13:fifty 5-fifty six. The canonical Gospels call 4 brothers, James, Joseph (Joses), Judas and Simon, yet in common terms James is prevalent to background, regardless of the undeniable fact that some associate Simeon of Jerusalem with Simon the brother of Jesus. After Jesus' dying, James, "the Lord's brother", replaced into the pinnacle of the congregation in Jerusalem and Jesus' family could have held positions of authority interior the encompassing area. The literal end from what's written interior the hot testomony is that Jesus' siblings have been infants of Mary and Joseph, as regular by potential of a few participants of the early Christian church, later observed as the Antidicomarianites; even regardless of the undeniable fact that, while Helvidius proposed this theory interior the 4th century, Jerome the in basic terms maintained that Mary remained constantly a virgin, and held that people who have been observed as the brothers and sisters of Jesus have been easily infants of Clopas, a brother-in-regulation of Mary. The words "brothers" and "sisters" as used in this context are open to distinctive interpretations, and because have been argued to hunt advice from infants of Joseph by potential of a prior marriage, Mary's sister's infants, or Joseph's sister's infants. extreme pupils say that the doctrine of perpetual virginity has long obscured the popularity that Jesus had siblings.
