The question of whether Jesus was married is a very controversial subject with a very clear answer in the bible. If you've read it, you would know that Jesus is constantly referred to as the Bridegroom. Hmmmmm. So does this mean he married a human woman during his time on earth among us? I think that's a very narrow, human interpretation of this, and there's no evidence of it in the bible. So why was Jesus celibate when God clearly advocates marriage as sacred?

The answer is in any end-times prophecy you can find in the bible. There are numerous references to the end of time being the marriage feast of Christ. Not to mention the very intimate conversation Jesus had with his disciples at the last supper -- did you know that in Jewish customs of the time, he basically proposed to them? Does that mean that Jesus is a gay polygamist? The idea is laughable. We seem to think we have to pigeon-hole Jesus into simple human terms, forgetting he is also fully divine.

So, we've established that Jesus is the Groom and the end of time is his Wedding. Who's the bride? We are -- "we" being the faithful who have given our hearts to him. This collective is a composite bride sometimes called the Church (with a big C, not small c -- this is a spiritual unity, not a temporal institution.) We are waiting on Jesus' promise to return for his bride (us) and bring her back to his Father's house.

In conclusion, if Jesus had married a single human woman, he would have been cheating on his intended bride. And as for sex, I think sex is a shadow and a symbol of the eventual union between us and Christ in Heaven -- not a mere carnal thing, but a spiritual union. It's just our simple, narrow, human minds that can't take this in without debasing it to merely human, fleshly terms.

It's good to be here. But I'm new at this, so please don't hold your breath for anything amazing!!
