Was Jesus Married?

[Superfly2028]

This question is really pointless.  No revelations have been given on the matter, and probably never will.  The subject is much to sacred for God to reveal these "pearls" to man, as long as there is so much iniquity.  And what does it matter to my eternal salvation if Christ was married or not.  It has nothing to do with it.

Then why did you reply? Why don't we just close down the site because a lot of the discussion here is pointless.

Oh no, not one of these type again...

Like if every discussion they talk about has relevance to Salvation. Talk about narrow-mindedness.

Of course he was married and most likely had multiple wives.
He came to fulfill the whole law.  That included marriage, kids and probably polygamy.  We know from the early brethren that Adam had multiple wives.  George Q.Cannon (First Presidency) stated that there were members in the audience that were direct disendants of the Lord Jesus Christ.  That means he had kids.  The prophet then stood up and testified to the truth of what Pres. Cannon just had declared.  So there is no question about it.  If there is no marriage in heaven, why would we think the Lord would be excemp from this super important commandment to go and multiply the earth.  That was not just for Adam but for all of us including our Lord.  It is accepted in many circles that Jesus was married to Mary, Martha, Elizabeth and Mary Magdalene.  Can you imagine martha complaining to an "outsider" about Mary not pulling her weight in the chores.  In those days.  It would be totally wrong, unless he was their husband.  It was totally unacceptable for a man to be in a house with women unless being the husband.  Cornelius Celsus wrote a letter complaining about the many wives Jesus had??? If it is an eternal principal then he was married and maybe just maybe had multiple wives as well.

Excellent post, Robert!!

I have to say you hit it right on the nail. Many scholars know that Jesus had to be married to the women He had in His company, or it would have caused so much upheaval in the society of that day. Jesus came to show us the way. He would have proven Himself a transgressor if He had not entered into the everlasting covenant marriage. There is no probability in it, Jesus had many wives, and this will be proven when He comes again in all His glory. Remember, you can't be a God without a women by your side.

I agree that it is likely that he was married but the whole rest of who he married to and how many wives he had is pure speculation folks. There is no way we can know (for a fact) who he married and whether he had many wives or not.

Well, actually, Miss Happy_LDS, there is a way we can know? Do you know what a seer is?

16 And Ammon said that a seer is a revelator and a prophet also; and a gift which is greater can no man have, except he should possess the power of God, which no man can; yet a man may have great power given him from God.
  17 But a seer can know of things which are past, and also of things which are to come, and by them shall all things be revealed, or, rather, shall secret things be made manifest, and hidden things shall come to light, and things which are not known shall be made known by them, and also things shall be made known by them which otherwise could not be known.

Do you believe this scripture? If you do, than you should know that not all things that a prophet/seer says is pure speculation. They are revelators, put in their postion, by Jesus, to lead and guide His children. So if an Apostle says:"Hey look, Jesus had more than one wive, in fact He had a dozen wives", and if does so while during general conference, than since we sustained him as an prophet/seer/revelator, we should also accept what he says in our hearts without having a general vote, unless what is said clashes with the Spirit and the gospel.

Will everyone accept what the Apostle's and Prophet's say?No. We will always have those who are weak in faith, who will say, before even considering what is said, "That's just pure speculation". No, Miss Happy_LDS, it is not, it's called revelation, not speculation.

So basically you're saying that everything a Prophet states in General Conference is revelation/doctrine. I don't necessarily agree with that. Many things have been said in the past in General Conference with regards to politics (Does Pres. Benson's talks sound familiar?) as an example that I personally do not see it as a revelation (that's just one of several examples). It has nothing to do with being strong or being weak. It's a matter of discerning whether the prophet is speaking his opinion or given a revelation no matter the platform.
