Since God doesn't have a wife (or partner), but he has a son...does that mean Jesus was born out of wedlock?

Question

Isn't that wrong in the eyes of the bible?

In response to !:

Oh I see! So the virgin Mary was a bigamist?

In response to lateshak:

Wow, you really don't like your faith being questioned huh?

Answer 1

Once more another completely flagrant question fired off by a total idiot!!! I understand that you are seeking out the attention you have been deprived of in your life but PLEASE in the future don't post such horrendous questions. This forum is not the place for God bashing!!! GET A LIFE!!!

Answer 2

this is incorrect. Mary, the virgin, was espoused (engaged ) to Joesph. The Lord impregnated her, and rather than to have her publicly ridiculed, outcasted, and possibly stoned, Josesph decided to go ahead and marry her. This was after he, also had a visit from an angel. Mary and Joseph were married before the birth of Jesus, therefore, he was not born out of wedlock.

Answer 3

It's called the trinity . . . Father, Son and Holy Spirit . . . All the same. Jesus is God the Father in human form. Your question however, made my dad laugh, and his remark to you was "It's gonna be hot down there . . . " But I can see why you make fun. People often make fun of things they don't understand. Also, if you want to know what is and isn't against the Bible, try reading it and finding out the answers for yourself instead of asking somebody on Yahoo . . .

Answer 4

No because He was born a virgin birth to be pure. You have to remember that God is Jesus and Jesus is God. Ya see, God put apart of Him in Mary and took on flesh yes it is hard to understand but you have to take it on faith that He is who He is. God merely performed a way for him to be in the flesh without harming the intire human race and to be able to walk amoung us and be with us. So only a part of Him became Jesus just like His spirit is amoung us and is in all christians.

Answer 5

No, that isn't wrong in the eyes of the Bible. There is nothing in Scripture to condemn a birth out of wedlock - in fact, the Bible repeatedly commands the care and support of the fatherless.
And of course Jesus was born out of wedlock. That was kind of the point, wasn't it?

Answer 6

Jesus is not literally the Son of God. "Son of God" in Hebrew means to have the attributes of God (i.e. mercy, compassion, justice, sovereignty). Jesus was born in a virgin birth, in a manner which has yet to be explained by science. It is a miracle. In any case, He was not born "out of wedlock" in the traditional sense of the term. He was born of a virgin. God was His Father only in a metaphorical sense. The title "Son of God" could also be used to apply to other great personages, such as Abraham and Moses.

Answer 7

Hillarious. I love it!

(1) God, an English word to attempt to identify/name the creator of the universe. Despite even Jewish or any religious notion, no name/identity appears discernible.

(2) Jesus, hypothetical transliteration from Gk. Iesous.

(3) Ancient religions (though I do not recommend subscription to any religion, ancient or contemporary) depicted two major deities wherefrom others derived, notedly one masculine, and one feminine.

(4) To say Jesus is some "son" of God (or creator of the universe), would mean to say that Jack-The-Ripper, and every ungodly maniac that every existed were as the "son" of God, for the hypothetical character "Jesus" demanded fellowship with every manner of hoodlum, criminal, prostitute etc.

(5) Biblical literature does not attempt any explicit reference to some presumable Mr. Iesous, certainly none other than alleged Greek Editions, of which are doubtful given nature of content and varying attempt to tie related revelation to ancient Judaism, Creationism and more...

(6) Wedlock? Marriage consists of the cohabitating relationship between a man and a woman, whereas intimate desire, pleasure, activity exists between the two. So-called "legally recognized marriage" but a state's attempt to state their specific requirements that any couple desire/seek some official recognition.

(7) Offspring, fruits of reproduction? The bizarre volume, the Holy Bible, demands that only "out of sorrow" would a woman bear children. Where art the benefit, substantiation of claim to benefit, if any, according to said report? Notedly, sheer reference to desire between the male and female, specif. that each aspire towards the other, does not explicitly prescribe reproduction, but merely carnal aspiration, e.g. sexual and sexual-related pleasure (or physical pleasure of an intimate nature involving the regarded sexual organs).

(8) Official Partner/Spouse of God? Please cite the reference, I'd love to read it.

Answer 8

If you would try reading the Bible for a change, you wouldn't embarrass yourself with no-brainer questions. Jesus was born to Mary & Joseph, who were married. (Even most non-believers know that. Haven't you ever passed a nativity scene at Christmas-time?)

Answer 9

Sorry, but most people READ for themselves. Exodus explains how God calles Yeshua his son. did you know that God called Israel His son, his firstborn? It is in Ex 4:22-23? I believe Jesus is the first born Son, because it is writtes thet He is the Firstborn of the RESURRECTION. John tells us that in Christ,! God gives US power to BECOME,sons of God! Angels, He calls sons of God, Even in His geneology thru Mary, at the end it it written "which was the son of Adam, which was the SON, of God. You only saw the CARNAL in your own eyes. not the EYES of the Bible. I'm sorry, this is for information, not a PUTDOWN. Thanks for the question.

Answer 10

Jesus is God. Jesus is not a physical son. God, The Son, and the Holy Spirit are all one. I understand that this is hard to picture, though.

Answer 11

Jesus was only a man nothing else, Mary wasn't a virgin in them days virgin meant a religious person and the bible is a story book basicly
