Yes I do. It is very possible. And yes I believe that Jesus was a spiritual leader on a mission from God/Gods/Goddess. A mission of peace and love. I do believe that he did he possess special abilities given to him by the Gods/Goddesses.

If Jesus was the Torah following Jew we are led to believe in the New Testament, then by law he would be married at the age of his ministry, Jesus having sex with his wife would not change his message. I don't think that changes his message in any way. The scriptures never said he was married and never said he was not married. Mary Magdalen was not a whore, a Catholic pope gave her that title years later, it's been debated if he chose to do that down play women as disciples or if it was meant to be inspirational, either way, it was a lie. I studied this years ago, way before all this DaVinci Code nonsense. The problem I have with that book is Dan Brown is a hack writer and stole many of the plot lines from others. I am one of the few Reverends who will tell you that the Bible has been changed over the years, some things were added and taken out, and it has been twisted. I encourage all of you to study, I mean really study as much as you can, go back to the original or most reliable texts and see for yourself. Pick up the book Misquoting Jesus, I forget at the moment who wrote it, but it's a great, insightful read.

As an atheist, I take the words of the bible with a grain of salt. Viewing the history of the bible and the evolution of Chrisitanity through this prism, I have come to the following conclusions.
The idea that Jesus married Mary of Magdala is rooted in some very old stories, and, yes, there is biblical evidence of the marriage. If you re-read the story of the wedding at Cana and assume Jesus is the groom it actually makes more sense. Mary the mother tells the servants to do as Jesus tells them. Why would they do this if she was a guest and he was just the son of a guest? One verse - I forget which - says the Magdalene was most beloved by Jesus. One of the gospels rejected by the Catholic church at the council of Nicea was the gospel of Mary which tells a very different story of the resurrection. But even in the canonical bible - Mary is the first to see Jesus resurrected.
But the truth is there is not enough evidence to conclusively say that yes, Mary and Jesus were married. At the same time, there is not enough evidence to say that Jesus was a diety either. The earliest Christians didn't believe it. In fact, his deification came about as a result of a close vote at the council of I think Trent.
Bottom line, I'm not sure that Jesus and Mary were or were not married, but I am sure that he was just a man.

I believe if Jesus actually existed then he was married to someone, I'm not sure if he was married to Mary Magdalene but It's safe to assume a 30 year old Orthodox Jewish man living 2000 years ago would have been married.

Not me... the Bible states that the Bride of Christ was the church... He was spiritually one with the church. Also I believe he never married because his wife and any offspring would have been treated like circus freaks... in mercy and kindness to his family he did not marry.
The Mary Magdalene story is a fable used to support the pagan religion of Astarte... the worship of the female diety of sexual freedom. Dan Brown ran with these fables in his book the Davince Code. Dan kind of makes an attack on the Catholic religion (some of which I agree with) but he goes nuts in assuming just because the Catholics have many errors and hid books of scriptures that all of Christianity if false. Really the Davince Code is a direct attack against Christianity.

I believe that if that the chances are very good that He was married to Mary Magdalene, and was heavily influenced by Essene thought.

well i certainly couldn't say for sure- in fact i don't think anyone has any insight beyond speculation in this matter; however i do personally subscribe to the idea that he was in fact involved with mary magdalene to some degree. i guess it's in the same league as the question " do you believe immaculate conception is viable, and or even possible?"

Jesus was never married, the old devil started all this stuff years ago as away to pull people away from the Bible because that is not in the Bible, remember satan is a liar and the father of it, John 8:44.

Well mom, I think that they had a thing going, but I have no way of knowing if they were actually ever married.
I have felt this way ever since I was a small child. I'm not sure why.
He was defiantly a very spiritual person. Probably a mystic.
Love and blessings Don
