A not so DEEP topic

I have never heard this taught or preached so don't jump to any conclusions. Any thought on why Jesus never married? It would not have been a sin. Their is nothing that says he was not allowed to. So any thoughts on why he did not do it? Think he had any girl friends? dated? held hands with a girl? kissed any girls?

I had heard someone say they felt they should not marry because Jesus didn't marry and Paul said it was best not to. That got me thinking about it and I did some searching. Nothing found on Jesus not being allowed to date, marry, fall in love, etc....

So any thoughts from you all out there?

Re: A not so DEEP topic

As far as I know, the Bible is silent on whether Jesus was married or not.

One tradition is that He married both Mary and Martha at the wedding in Cana in John chapter 2 and carried on an Old Testament tradition of having more than one wife.

Re: A not so DEEP topic

Isaiah 53 seemed to indicate that He would have no physical, earthly issue.

Phraseology such as "a root out of dry ground," and "who shall declare his generation?" tend to point that direction.

Re: A not so DEEP topic

but that does not explain why it is not recorded that he married or not. He could have married and still had not children.

Re: A not so DEEP topic

Jesus was born to be the groom of a bride.

The church.

We are his bride.


Rev 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Rev 21:9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

Rev 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

On a carpenters salary!?

I don't think He was married, I don't believe he would purposely put a wife through that when He knew all along what would happen. Also, can you imagine the DNA if He had children? IMHO

That is gnostic heresy.

Jesus probably did not marry for some very good reasons. His kingdom was not of this world. He did not come to establish an earthly family. He knew his destiny was to leave this earth at 33.

Also imagine the problem the church would have with children from Jesus running around and cults springing up surrounding them?

What was the purpose of having wives in Jewish culture? To have children?

jesus required his disciples to leave family and home so why would he even take a wife knowing that?

I think this was one of the big reasons.

I agree with this. It also goes along with the above. Why would he marry and have a family only to leave them?

I had not thought of that one about the cults raising up if he had children, all the more reason that he would make sure that did not happen.

Yes I know this. It was possible though that he could make it so that he had no children.
