If Jesus did have descendants, how would that affect Christians' faith?

Question

If it hypothetically can be shown that Jesus did in fact have children, how would this affect Christians belief?

Is it really that big of deal if Jesus did have a wife and had children? After all it would have been highly unusual for a 33 year old Jew let alone a rabii to be unwed at time of Jesus.

Answer 1

It will shake orthodox Christian tradition, but more liberal and progressive churches would be open to this. I agree that ultimately Jesus' marital status should not diminish his legacy and teachings to mankind.

Answer 2

the religion inspired by employing Jesus' movements and words isn't something extremely pushed aside. If he had little ones, it does no longer impression my faith one way or the different. in spite of the undeniable fact that, it may reason me to come to a decision directly to be sure what issues those descendants did. if that they had his blood, i could elect to computer screen no remember if or no longer they led ultimate lives or in the event that they set a great occasion. If it have been shown that somebody available replaced right into an instantaneous descendant of Jesus and that they have been a shining occasion to the international, i could think of that would desire to in basic terms help develop the lives of persons who believed.

Answer 3

We Would Have Much More Different Religions All Over The World, And Believe In Either One Of Those Descendants or All of Them..

Answer 4

Then "endless genealogies" (1 Timothy 1:4*) would be more important to some Christians than the fact of the Incarnation itself.

*"...nor to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to mere speculation rather than furthering the administration of God which is by faith."

Answer 5

Instead of searching for IFS better to search for the truth in Jesus Christ and He will give you eternal life and you will know that these questions will have no meanings to them because the truth is Jesus defeated death so all who come to Him may have eternal life

Answer 6

if a frog had wings and sharp snake fangs.

well kinda answers it.
but see, Jesus is the incarnation of God and thus views all people as his sons daughters brothers sisters etc, as a whole family.
If you read the bible the BRIDE OF CHRIST is referring to ALL of the people not one person. but sadly people would rather read something else other than what they are trying to learn about...

Answer 7

Well I am one/sixteenth Jewish and I am also Christian and I the religious experiences I have had have been amazing. So your lineage is important I think. I have known of two women who were a quarter Jewish and they were Christians and they had visions.

Answer 8

Would not that make the resurrection a deception? All of Christianity hinges on the resurrection. He is risen.

Answer 9

OMG: Jesus having SEX? Christianity would collapse into dust!

Answer 10

Jesus was not put on this earth to get married and have children. He was put on this earth to die and sacrifice himself for our sins. I don't know anybody in this day and age that would do that for anybody!
