Christ married—
You are on page out of 2 | Reverse Order
From Eliza - I?ve been thinkin? about this a lot lately?.. after readin ? Da Vinci code? and watchin? da movie a lot of people around me have been troubled with this question.. ?was Jesus Christ really married—? I don?t understand why does that bother people a lot?? Even if he was married? so wat?? Does that matter?? Does that make him less divine?? Does marriage make him less God and more Human? NO it sure doesnt!!!
?Hi Eliza'...The Davinchi code is just another attempt by the forces of evil to deceive humanity.
Why is it people, are so ready to listen to what other people say about the bible, Jesus and God himself,
without reading it for themselves? ( Speaking of humanity as a whole), not pointing my finger at you when I say that.
?The Lord makes it clear that His word is complete. yet humanity always wants to add or take away from it.
They just can't accept it as what it is. In doing so, they call God a liar.
Everyone is so quick to believe the opinions and claims of people, yet never see if it lines up with scripture.
This should be the basis for the truth, not what people claim to have or seen.
? Ephesians 4:14 that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine,
by the trickery of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error. 18 being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their hearts.
? Nowhere in scripture does it say anything about Jesus marrying anyone.
God says His word is complete, yet people are always trying to add to it, claiming to have some knew information.
? The Davinci code is a farce, plain and simple. Yep, Just another grandios deception, with no proof.
Why would God create a Male and a Female?? Is that because there?s a God and also a Goddess?
? The bible only speaks of God the father, Jesus, the son, and the HolySpirit,...
There is no such thing as a goddess in God's kingdom. Satan's yes,...God's no.
It sure does make me think? why wouldn?t god just make men??....
if God is our father in heaven, then do we also have a mother in heaven—
? Again, God, Jesus Christ, The HolySpirit,...That's all folks ( :
? God created male and female because they are a reflection of his image and personality.
Both male and Female reflect some of his attributes. Genesis 1:26 "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.

Have you ever heard of the Aposle's Creed? Do you know anything about the history of the early church? The arguments over Easter and the significance of these arguments? No you don't.
There is actually just as much proof that he was married as there is that he wasn't.
You blindly follow a faith you have not researched and whose history you do not know.

? ?posles creed isn't found in the bible. If it was, it would carry some weight, but it doesn't.
Therefore it must be considered not of God. Why do you people insist on trying to add to God's word, and then call it of God?
Anything outside of the word of God, is a lie...period!
? Hmmm...To say that I havn't done my research is rather assumptive on your part. Do you know me?
Do you know what I have researched and havn't? Do you know how long i've been in the faith?...No, you don't.
I've done my research. If you are going to talk Christianity, then you must base all arguments from the Bibles perspective.
If you don't, you don't have Christianity, you have religion from man's perspective,...period!

? If you can find it in the word of God, then it's true, if not,..it is a lie!
Basically, I'm done arguing with foolish nonsense. You want to know the truth about Christianity, then go to the word of God.
Otherwise it's like educating yourself with an auto manual to work on an aircraft O_o
Please people,..use some common sense.

WHY— coz itz been translated over a MILLION times... how do u know that wen God revealed his word to his prophetz.. he didnt mention a heavenly mother— now dont get me wrong im not sayin that the Bible is not the word of god... i KNOw itz da word of god BUT coz itz been translated by IMPERFECT people it has itz share of ERRORS......
i believe with all my heart the doctrines da bible teaches BUT the topics it doesnt touch.. i cant of a cretainty say itz false doctrine 🙂

duh?
The Apostle's Creed happened around 150. That was when the New Testement was written or
more accurately , the text for the New Testament were selected AND WHICH WERE DROPPED. None of the books in the New Testement were written by anyone who knew Jesus. Other books, that were dropped for POLITICAL REASONS, were written by those who knew Jesus.
You see, without understanding what happened, your faith is defined by lies. It was not God who wrote the bible honey, it was man.
There is nothing tricky about it. It is history. Early European History.
It does not matter how long you walked in *the Faith*. Your faith is unfounded because you do not understand what happened.

'...God created male and female because they are a reflection of his image and personality.
Both male and Female reflect some of his attributes. Genesis 1:26 "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness....'
EXACTLY....God said 'let US make man in OUR own image'... he made the Male after his own image.. but what about the female?? why is she physically different from a man?? HOW do you know that itz not been ommitted from the bible that ' a heavenly mother' knew about this plan too.... Ofcourse the father, the son and the Holyghost are the members of the Godhead and they created this earth and i belive that with all my heart and soul but juz coz the bible doesnt mention a mother in heaven .. i cant rule out the possiblities that there is one.. coz few signz denote one 🙂
DB... i know wat u mean..... i know alot of people who are troubled about that and it sure does make a HUGE different in their Faith if he was married or not... but to me it doesnt...i jus ignore these silly thingz..
DE, for me the most important thing is that christ came to this earth to atone for me..hes our Mediator...
i started this thread coz alot of my Catholic friend's faith has been shaken and i continually tell them that it makes no difference....it has NOTHING to do wid my salvation...They dont even want to turn to the bible coz they say itz an imperfect book... and so all i can say to them is ' why is his marital status bothering them sooo much'— ( i know itz HARD to swallow and people kindda toss and turn with EVERY wind of doctrine)......
i often wonder why r we bothered by NON-sense and cant live the simple doctrine.. to love god and our fellowmen as urself..... there r some truths that are not revealed to us coz of our LACK of faith.. if we cant keep the small commandments how are we expecting GREAT treasures of knowledge from god—
our HUman perspective and way of thinkin is SOOOOOO limited... we always rationalize thingz and can never understand wat God's waysss... no dobt why he said ' my ways are not your ways, neither are my thoughts ur thoughts...'

DB the world thingz marraige and sex is a sin.. i dont think so.... marraige is ordained of god and sex is not wrong in bondz of marraige.. infact it strengthens a relationship...
and why wasnt it mentioned?? coz u their was a council held in constantine's time .. called the 'First Council of Nicaea'.. here it was decided wat gosples should be included in the bible.. wat not... wat day eater shud be celebrated.. etc....
I never said i accept the doctine that chrict was married... but even if he was.. it doesnt matter to me... and why wud the church wanna hide it?? coz they think that a married man wouldnt be the perfect messiah to deliver the jews from spiritual bondage.. hey im an israelite and i know our doctrine... but no prophet of the old testament ever said messiah wud neva marry...

'..Women came from Adam's rib...right there, you are NOT equal....'
thats where ur SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO wrong DB.. u KNOW NOTHING about our judaism... we dont belive a woman is below men... we belive that a woman is an equal COZ God didnt choose to take a part out of Adam's feet to create a woman.. neither did he take sumthin from his head so that she'd be a superior.. but he took it drom his side (his rib) so that she wud b an equal... walk hand in hand with her man...
people always mistake men for been superior in judiam but thats FALSE doctrine... a man can never do that...continiuosly the lord has commanded men of israel to neva mistreat his wife...some might.. but that aint right

'..Women are the reason for origional sin...Influenced the good Adam..b/c you listened to the snake....This is the origion of your faith...and NO, I would not think there was a heavenly mother omitted.....'
i dont believe in the original sin.. another false doctrine...men are accountable for there on sinz and not for adam's and eve's trangression.. come on... my common sense says that makes NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sense 🙂

'..There was a reason it was omitted...b/c it makes Jesus too HUMAN. And maybe people would only look at him as a prophet, not a SON of GOD.....'
agree... thats wat i've been sayin'.. if it is omitted then thats da very reason...i mean how can the son of god be taking care of his wife all the time and neglecting da work of god.. doesnt make sense at all to my COMMON SENSE... but people believe it and u cant do anything to make them see thingz ur way... YES.. sometimes u cn but most of the time u cant...

'..lol...then you are being an aqua.. You pick and chose what you like...no pun intended...'
coz i KNOW our father in heaven is a just god and not a respector of persons... all are equal in his sight and all those who belive otherwise make him an unjust god who favors some people and not all... and thats WRONG...

see god knowz how delicate his daughters are... so wen he was done with the earth and adam .. he made eve the last to come enjoy the comfortz 🙂
helloooo... ur doctrine is waaaaaay twisted... just coz god made adam before eve doesnt make him superior... he wanted to show adam the value his woman.. im nhot denyin' that men are stronger physically and better in somethingz then women but then women r better in other thingz...
i hate this men V/S women topics coz no on is better than the other.. they both have their own roles and people juz make it a big deal and compete with each other.. hence alot of breakupz and CRAZinessssssss

i told ya i belive the bible to be the word of god ( he doctrines it contains r true)...and it says he was a son of god.... no man can suffer all that.. die and rise again on the third day... hes definitely more then a human...
yes he was human coz his mother was a mortal being.. and so he cud feel pain, hunger, thirst... but from his father whose DIVINE and a God he inherited the power to take his life up again.. as simple as that 🙂

Here is a good place to start. This is pretty much all known ancient Christain writings. They are pretty much in the order accepted by modern bible scholars/historians.

It must be the Eliza's favorite picks from the Bible.....'
Lmao... no there r not... u totally misunderstood me... i believe the doctrines taught in the bible but the ones that r NOT touched i cant say anything about them...... and Eve's doctrine.. i believe it but no where in the bible does it say that its da original sin and that we are all condemned coz of her decision—
christ came to this earth for us... coz of our OWN sins we r condemned... not for adam/eve's sin 🙂

god speaks to all righteous men... and he might have spoken to them.. in the bible chirst said' there are other sheep which are not of this fold ( not israelites)whom i will go to'... they might be all da other religions... so i cant say they are all wrong... coz NO religion teaches hatred... buddists, hindus, taoism.. judaism... etc..... all teach peace n love...

'..faith has been passed down by generations originally from people who had met Jesus and were willing do die to defend their right to believe so it's not just about a book...'
CGILWL... people from every religion have died for their faith.. i dont think thatz reason enuff to believe in the bible...u cant stand on borrowed light... conversion to christ n his godple is not only a spiritual one but it has to be an intellectual one or else u will toss n turn wid every wind of doctrine and that aint right..... but still spiritual one is better than none a t all 🙂

'..they see their religion as the purest religion...'
every one considers their religion 2 b the purest... the jehovah's witnesses say they are the TRUE ones... so do the many different sects in islams... the sunis and she'ites both profess to be the true 'PURE' ones.... so i think we shud let people believe wat they believe as long as they are not FANATICS... like the talabans.... jeeeezzzz... thats definitely not a religion of God.. i can without my heart and common sense say itz not a TRUE one....WHY— coz God NEVER forces his doctrine upon his people... and all those that do are deff. not of god...

Mary had sex. Where do you think Jesus? siblings come from? I have heard that virgin meant something different at that time. It had to do with not being married and had nothing to do with sexual ?purity?.
In early, Christian teachings men and women were equal.
The Pillar of Salt is an interesting story. The intrepation that I hear and that I believe to be true ? it may be Gnostic, I am uncertain ?. Was the pillar of salt she dissolved into was tears.
Sophia is the principle of God?s Wisdom and typically portrayed to be female. She/Eve (since Eve bites into the apple of Wisdom? Speculating it has been a long time) is very central to Gnostic doctrine.
The Gospel according to James found in the new testament was NOT written by his brother. James went on to found the Jerusalem Church an early faction of Christianity.
I believe it was the Council of Niceaca were the vote on whether Jesus was the son of God took place. Before that many factions of the Christian Church, including the Adoptionists, believed he was just a man.

Here is a really brief history for you.
*The New Testament* did not exist until the Apostle?s Creed. I believe that was 150. And yes, it was about what was left out not removed. (but that really depends on how you look at it as things were removed after. Origen of Alexandria excluded the Epistles of James and Jude.) This is pretty standard AND accepted European History.
The Apostle's creed was developed to distinguish between Roman Paulists and other Christian groups.
For example, the Nostic Christians lived by the Gospel of Thomas and had a 13 book Bible, but they were considered heretics by the Roman Paulist Sect.
The history of the Roman Church falsifying documents and altering history, to my knowledge, starts around the Theory of Apostolic Succession. Paul was not an apostle. Doctrine was changed, at this time, making Peter and Paul co-founders of the Roman Church. Peter, however, never endorsed any Paulist sect, which under the theory of Apostolic Succession makes the Paulist Church of Rome not of the true faith.
There were several branches of faith Montanists, Gnostics, Adoptionists, Marcionists, among others.

Your thoughts?
I was very intrigued by it, until I read all the anti-scientology websites...and then became disturbed by the idea of it. I'm not really sure what to think, or if all I've read on both sides is mere propaganda. Your thoughts?

An interesting quote that I heard from a friend.
"Religion is for people who are afraid to go to Hell. Spirituality is for those who have been there." ~some human
"Religion is for people who are afraid to go to Hell. Spirituality is for those who have been there." ~some human
When God created Adam and eve he commanded them to ?multiply and replenish the earth??Jesus Christ is the SON of God.... he knowz the father?s plan and so if he married Mary Magdelene?( I?m not saying he did marry her 100% and has kidz coz I feel kindda strange about his kidz doctrine? but EVEN IF he did) he was following da lord?s command?..he didn?t sin in doing that?.
Why would God create a Male and a Female?? Is that because there?s a God and also a Goddess?? Who knowz? ?
I typed ?mother in heaven? in google and found this interesting song??.
?I have learned to call thee father, thru thy spirit from on high,
but until the key of knowledge was restored I knew not why,
in the heavens are parents single, no the thought makes reason stare,
truth is reason, truth eternal , tells me I?ve a mother there?.?
It sure does make me think? why wouldn?t god just make men??....if God is our father in heaven, then do we also have a mother in heaven—.... ( OK thatz the Aqua in me questionin? EVERTHING?)
But whatever the truth?I don?t find christ?s marital status affect my faith in him and his doctrine 🙂
