Was Jesus Married to Mary Magdalene?

[AmorsoloX]

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 church have been a male centered organization for sometime where women have secondary functions lang... tsk tsk tsk.. mao cguro di sila mosulti nga naminyo si jesus cause that would give adoration to her wifey.. sadly in history, women had been considered 2nd class citizens until the late 1800 and early 1900 where ni kusog ng womens rights movement. and in some areas, naa pa gihapon ng low status of women

how bad is it kung nag minyo si jesus... dont really care...

ang tanan teachings sa church kay gi edit sa mga church founders para sa ila political aims and obejctives... theres nothing holy about the holy roman catholic church except name nga gibutangan holy..

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.

Lantawa brad, wa man lagi sila maglantugi ang council kung naa bay 'wifey' si Christ bi?

duna ta cguro na, pero obvious naman gud kaayo... ky ang question will be: "Dakung minyo ba si Hesus or Dili?"

Ambot nganu ila man pasanginlan ang Council of Nicaea, kung buot huna-huna kining council ni bottomline is power struggle man ni sa mga clergy sauna.

If naay book nga naghisgut nga married si Christ but did not make it to the Bible that's because during those times the majority of christian communities would not approved such belief, even before the Bible people have there oral tradition that tells of an unmarried Christ. The forefathers who collected and 'made' what is now the Bible take into careful consideration what is the present general beliefs at that time.

Mao gani naay tint of paganism ning catoliko kay di man gyud mapug-ngan sa church nga madala sa mga pagano ang ilang former religion into the new one. Lantawa ron ay ning Vatican di ba ilan sad gi-alligned ilang stand regarding evolution to match what majority of the catholics opinion about this issue. Ingon ana pud sa una samtang gigama nila ning Bibliya.

If Jesus was married there could have been no problem with the roman catholic, considering that roman gods married each other...Jupiter has Juno as wife (sister at the same time). Being married does not diminish there being god at least for the pagans of rome.

that's really a good question that i can't even answer personally...my other lola when she was still alive, she even told me, that in early 1930's, they aren't even allowed to read the bible that's how EVIL the CHRISTIANITY is introduced to them. But now we can freely read the bible at the comfort of our home...i think it's time also to freely believe that Christ (JESUS) was truly married. The reason why we can't find the information, that Christ was married, in the Bible because it's not complete, there are still books that aren't still in the "collection of books" (which means BIBLE).

The Catholic Church knows about it, the BIBLE is not complete, if you only have heard of the DEAD SEA SCROLLS that is also considered BIBLE but they aren't part of our BIBLE right now.

For some insight on the topic, watch The Last Temptation of Christ. There are cheap VCD and DVDs of it in video spots like Astro and Odyssey.

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

And what evidence do you have there that Jesus was single throughout his life when in fact he really loved Mary Magdalene?

I dont think so Jesus was gay!

[NASYO]

He loved Magdalene. As He loved us.

[bluedes]

It really does not matter whether Jesus was married or not. He'd still be Jesus.

But realistically speaking, I don't think he'll marry. Granting he knows he will be crucified at the cross, why would he marry beforehand and leave a grieving Magdalene with child to bear the sufferings of the world? That would be very unfair, and un-Christ-like na jud..

also, technically speaking, marriage is a non-issue.. it's not important. in a true ideal sense, any form of "labeled" relationship is a contradiction to the enlightenment of one's soul. why do you have to marry? what's the purpose of the "label"? Jesus could have loved Mary Magdalene, and love, for all its fuss and glory, that would have been enough already. Getting into marriage to what, to "own" the person, or "tie the knot"? yeah, that would have been nice, pero unfair jud na expectation. Imagine lng:

Jesus: Mary Magdalene, will you marry me?
Mary: Yes, Jesus. You know that I'm so in love with you.
Jesus: Wonderful! But please do know that we have to postpone our honeymoon in heaven, because they will be nailing me to the cross some months from now.



sa kadaghan, inherently selfish man ni ang marriage concept. a truly happily married couple don't even bother they are married. i know, i've seen one.

Let's put it this way. If you were God would you marry your creature?


The most critical part comes about after Jesus is crucified and it shows us who Jesus may have been married to. St. Mark, Chap. 16, verse 1. "And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him." Now by Hebrew law the ONLY women who can anoint a man are family members. For Mary Magdalene to even attempt to anoint Jesus would be unthinkable under Hebrew law, unless she was married to Jesus. So it seems much more likely through this one verse that Jesus and Mary were married.

Hospitality

Anointing was also an act of hospitality, as Jesus was anointed in the house of the Pharisee (Luke 7:38-46).
