Was Jesus Married to Mary Magdalene?

[Traditz]

---

well, what's the evidence of resurrection?

I'm not sure how that's relevant to the topic. How is that related to the topic?

[Traditz]

Given the fact that the RC Church is more corrupt than our gov't. The church covering it up is believable

Ngano naka-ingun ka nga naay cover-up sa Church?

OT: Ngano naka-ingun pud ka nga mas corrupt ang Church kay sa government?

[Traditz]

just my 2 cents: Jesus was repeatedly called "Rabbi" meaning "Teacher" during his lifetime. and according to Jewish tradition, you can't be a Rabbi unless you're married. you do the math.

If I may ask, which Jewish tradition? Can you site some books and mention the authors? And are there no exceptions? Are all the rabbis in Jesus' time married?

So what if Jesus was married to mary magdalene? does that diminish his CHRIST consciousness?

I think the important question here is, what evidences do we have for believing that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene?

FROM JUDAISM 101 : Judaism 101: Marriage

The Marital Relationship
"Marriage is vitally important in Judaism. Refraining from marriage is not considered holy, as it is in some other religions."

as a Christian believer, we consider JEsus Christ as HOLY and our GOD...if HE is then HOLY then we should have accepted the fact that he's also married because as what stated above "refraining from marriege is NOT CONSIDERED HOLY".

there are simple evidences in the bible, though they are not directly mentioned, that Jesus was married to Mary of Magdala, but, it will tell us a great fact that Mary of Magdalene is her special someone.

She was the very first person who ever saw Jesus Christ risen from the dead...if she was the first person then she must be a special someone to Jesus Christ.

If this is true, nganong gi deny man ni sa Church? Gi unsa nila pag convince sa mga tao nga Jesus was not married?

The question is why would people marry in the first place? This could help.

Of Jesus getting married- nothing wrong in it. But whether or not He's married, probably He was not. Marriage in Jewish tradition is an honorable thing, most rabbis are married and in fact, male getting old without a wife is frowned upon by the community. The Bible would have mention it.

Do Christ need an heir to His Kingdom so He got married? Or is He worried that He might not come back again to rule His Lordship so that's why the need to have children for the bloodline to continue for generation?

Also, Jesus knows the magnitude of the yoke He's about to carry on His way to the cross. Marrying would be farthest thing from His mind...

BTW even people who's mind is fixed on achieving something in their life (e.g. career) sometimes forgot to get married along the way...now imagined them getting nailed to the cross mid in their 30's.

Marriage anyone..yuppies here?

hello sir. you may want to read some books about Early Christianities, Pre-Christian Palestine, Lost Christianities. you may also read books by Bart Ehrman, Graham Simmans, Michael Baigent, E.P. Sanders, Timothy Freke, Peter Gandy, James Tabor, Barbara Thiering, Lynn Picknett, Clive Prince.

according to what i've read so far, yes, all Rabbanim (plural for Rabbi) in Jesus' time were married. sa ako lang nang tanan nabasahan sir ha. i wouldn't know sa karong recent times.

personally for me, it really doesn't matter if Jesus was married. he was just a man, afterall. but still he attained Divinity or Christhood. it's his teachings that are important.

mao lang na for me, sir. thank you kaayo.

Ah..'dagdag- bawas' council (daw).


First Council of Nicaea

The agenda of the synod included:

1. The Arian question regarding the relationship between God the Father and Jesus; i.e. are the Father and Son one in purpose only or also one in being;
2. The date of celebration of the Paschal/Easter observation
3. The Meletian schism;
4. The validity of baptism by heretics;
5. The status of the lapsed in the persecution under Licinius.

The council promulgated twenty new church laws, called canons, (though the exact number is subject to debate[34]), that is, unchanging rules of discipline. The twenty as listed in the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers are as follows:

1. prohibition of self-castration; (see Origen)
2. establishment of a minimum term for catechumen;
3. prohibition of the presence in the house of a cleric of a younger woman who might bring him under suspicion;
4. ordination of a bishop in the presence of at least three provincial bishops and confirmation by the metropolitan;
5. provision for two provincial synods to be held annually;
6. exceptional authority acknowledged for the patriarchs of Alexandria and Rome, for their respective regions;
7. recognition of the honorary rights of the see of Jerusalem;
8. provision for agreement with the Novatianists;
9–14. provision for mild procedure against the lapsed during the persecution under Licinius;
15–16. prohibition of the removal of priests;
17. prohibition of usury among the clergy;
18. precedence of bishops and presbyters before deacons in receiving Holy Communion, the Eucharist;
19. declaration of the invalidity of baptism by Paulian heretics;
20. prohibition of kneeling during the liturgy on Sundays and in the fifty days of Eastertide ("the pentecost"). Standing was the normative posture for prayer at this time, as it still is among the Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholics. (In time, Western Christianity adopted the term Pentecost to refer to the last Sunday of Eastertide, the fiftieth day.)

Second Council of Nicaea

The Second Council of Nicaea is believed to have been the Seventh Ecumenical Council by Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Old Catholics, and various other Western Christian groups. It met in 787 AD in Nicaea (site of the First Council of Nicaea; present-day İznik in Turkey) to restore the honoring of icons (or, holy images),[1] which had been suppressed by imperial edict inside the Byzantine Empire during the reign of Leo III (717 - 741). His son, Constantine V (741 - 775), had held a synod to make the suppression official.

The veneration of icons had been abolished by the energetic measures of Constantine V and the Council of Hieria which had described itself as the seventh ecumenical council. These iconoclastic tendencies were shared by his son, Leo IV. After the latter's early death, his widow Irene, as regent for her son, began its restoration, moved thereto by personal inclination and political considerations.
