I believe that Jesus was never married because the Church teaches this. Jesus is God.
Mary M might have written something (if she could write?), but it is not part of the Bible. I doubt if she wrote a gospel. The Holy Grail is the Chalice Christ used at the Last Supper and people have been searching for it for centuries.

1. Mary Magdalin was not married to Jesus - but there is speculation that if Jesus was allowed to marry, then he would have married mary.

2. the Mary magdalin gospel was apparently found during the 15/16th century written in lattin IIRC - didn't think MM could write in latin - believed to be a fake, and it most certainly reads like it.

3. Mary Magdalin being the Holy grail is, as far as I know, to be Mentioned in Dan Browns: The Da vinci Code

All falsehoods. Read your Bible my friend; especially the gospels. Be rooted and grounded in the Word of God or you'll be deceived in these last days by false teachers and false prophets. It is your responsibility as a christian to make sure that everything you aare reading, hearing and seeing is in accordance with the word of God. Remember what the Apostle John said, "Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whetherthey are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world" I John 4:1. GOd bless.

I read a few things about Mary Magdalen, Jesus and Sarah.

My conclusion: I don’t know for sure if it’s all true. I find it all very likeable, very possible. But, if the Facts about Magdalin are real, my faith and admiration for Jesus increases even more. To have such Human Emotions and Needs and still Do what He Did... remarkable beyond words and our present comprehension.

No. The Bible says nothing to this effect. What we do know about her was that she was possessed by seven spirits (which Jesus exorcised) and that she was one of the women who financed Jesus's ministry, so she was probably a rich widow.

Some try to assert that Mary is the woman who washed Jesus's feet with her tears because she is first mentioned shortly after the incident, but this is more of a result of people trying to find justification for an urban legend. A woman capable of giving financial support to Jesus and his disciples would have no reason to become a prostitute.

We know that Simon-Peter was married because Jesus healed his mother-in-law.

i thought there was at least one example but wasn't sure
thanks for that

i think there is just as much evidence that he was married vs wasn't married
which is none


It doesn't say either way, but we can use what we do know to determine what is probable.

It would be very uncommon for a man of Jesus's age to be unmarried, especially as someone considered to be a Rabbi, but Jesus wasn't an average Jewish man. As a prophet of the coming Kingdom of God, he could have probably been able to get away with not being married.

The absence of mention of any wife supports him not having a wife, especially when one considers some of the places where a wife should be mentioned. His wife's support or lack of support would be relevant in the incident when Jesus's family tried to stop him. It would also be extremely odd for Jesus to arrange for the care of his mother but not to take care of his wife. Of course, if the Gospel writers were unaware of his wife or actively trying to remove mention of her, this would not be unexpected. However, both of these scenarios would make it unlikely that Mary was his wife. It would be odd to know of her without knowing that she was his wife, and if one really wanted to remove Mary's relationship from history, one would probably just remove all mention of her.

Overall, there is simply no good reason to postulate a marriage.

The gospels only account for a very small (but important) part of Jesus' life. Outside of the gospels, we really have no specifics about Jesus in the bible. Non-cannonical gospels strongly infer that Mary M. was someone with whom Jesus had a more intimate relationship. Fact is, most things about Jesus we do NOT know. Whether he was married or had children doesn't imply sin or wrongdoing or lack of anything, other than his human side - and he was human, even if believe he was also god.

To be honest, if Jesus were unmarried, being Jewish I really think there would be a LOAD of questions about his un-natural bachelorhood status.... We also REALLY don't hear anything about Jesus from ages approx 13-30...

I've also heard about the prostitution, but further heard it was a Vatican effort to put forward the view that Jesus was NOT a human prophet... So very complicated.

Would it really bother you all if Jesus and MM were in fact married? After all, seeing as he was NOT Christian, but rather the inspiration for our faith, wouldnt it stand to reason that he could very well marry, or be in a relationship without being morally wrong??

Well, the thing is I have an insiders point of view, Mary Mags was a scholar who was appointed by the MAGI to attend the meetings that Jesus and his friends would create, she was of noble decent and wealthy to boot and was held in the highest of regards for her efforts as a scholar....

Leap to john the baptist, he sent an oreder of deciples (kind of thing) to the european region and they settled in france....

After Jesus had done his bit and oh by the way, Jesus was not born a christ the vessel named jesus had spent thirty odd years cultivating the vessel that was to recieve christ, anyway back to the story, when christ had done all he could and you pinned him to the cross that gave rise to the return to heaven bit and Jesus got his body back and went off to france with mary mags and a few others and the story goes on but hey don't want to bore you with the truth so back to your scriptures and they say what....?

Rather or not she was a prostitute is unclear, however it is documented that Mary Magdalene had fallen into sin.

The first 4 verses in the 8th chapter of Luke read:
8:1 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve [were] with him,
8:2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
8:3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
8:4 And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:

my other point is that i dont really trust anyone, i don't trust churches, or people, because they are dishonest.
so when a church or the vatican says, It is this way, not that way, i look at that with speculation, like i look at everything,
I understand your skepticism toward man, but it is safe to place your trust in God.

If you found yourself in the company of the Christ just how many sins (deamons) would he find in you, my bet a few more than seven so well done Mary Mags, I reakon it was that purity that Jesus saw and admired and when Christ was here he recognised it too...You guys with your chewed up gospels and pragmatic ideals are about to get the shock of your lives/deaths, wont be long....yet another judgement day....be mindful to who you subscribe to as the great deceiver has played his ace and sucked you all in, throw quote after quote and Ill show you the truth that was intended not what you have come to understand, the truth is so much more than what you have right now and you have to accept that times are changing, look out your window, the world is not of your design just like the god that made it so step back from your religion and take a step closer to GOD, make peace while you have the time....now back to normal transmissions....

Whoa friend, I did not intend to sound self-righteous.

I see myself as a sinner saved only by the love of our heavenly Father and I have tender pity for others who are suffering in sin.

Our standing before God depends, not upon the amount of light we have received, but upon the use we make of what we have. I apologize for leaving the impression of a Christian who has built himself up in self righteousness.

Instead of seeking to accuse and condemn, it is my object to help and to bless others by pointing to the cross of Calvary. I wasn't climbing upon the judgment seat to bring accusation against another.
