The reason is. Jesus was made from perfect seed, and lived a sinless life,not from the imperfect seed of Adam, if he took a wife from the imperfect seed of Adam, and became one flesh with her, he would have been defiled, and his sacrifice on the cross would have been rejected by God.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11065044669652489247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536854065433425156.post-64057634142075525682012-09-21T08:50:11.670-07:002012-09-21T08:50:11.670-07:00I have recently gone through James Tabor and Simch...I have recently gone through James Tabor and Simcha Jocabocivi's book, The Jesus Discovery where they related their experience in exploring two tombs in the Jerusalem suburbs. In one of the tombs, called Garden Tomb, ossuaries (small limestone boxes) containing bones were found. And these ossuaries had names on them. One was Jesus son of Joseph, another Maria Mara, another Jose son of Joseph and still another Juda son of Jesus. These two learned authors believe the Maria Mara to be Mary Magdalene and that this tomb was the family tomb of Jesus the Christ. If their findings prove correct, Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene and that they were buried together in a family tomb along with their son Juda and possibly (at least) a brother of Jesus.dmthlianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397903595794317840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536854065433425156.post-35357868819762039632012-09-20T12:59:31.128-07:002012-09-20T12:59:31.128-07:00I thought the Gospel of Philip was a little too la...I thought the Gospel of Philip was a little too lacunal to say it calls Mary a consort of Jesus, no?<br /><br />Also what do you make of the boldfaced portions of this new papyrus?

If it just means "companion," the new text makes explicit what the Gospel of Philip at most implies.Jim Davilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14673780544920553462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536854065433425156.post-80367752971513687352012-09-19T16:08:16.328-07:002012-09-19T16:08:16.328-07:00Good points and information about the Gospel of Ph...Good points and information about the Gospel of Phillip. I would agree, and like to think that he was married, since I see marriage as something Godly and good.deila taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814109921379333571noreply@blogger.com
