I know of no account of reputation proving Jesus was married. However, Jesus did live as a man and was subject to the desires of mankind. Should it ever come to pass that Jesus was discovered to have been married then it would fall in line with His being tempted in like manner of all desires. Jesus would have no doubt kept the laws of the times and lived accordingly. To find Jesus was at any time married would not hinder my faith it would in fact enforce it. But until something manifests that proves matrimony, it is simple hearsay and often creates division.

Charlamane has a great case in point here look at the culture would Jesus Mary Die then after raising from the dead go to Heaven and leave His wie and children no a husband does not do that like that.Jesus would never do that WE ARE THE BRIDE OF CHRIST HE IS MARRIED TO ALL OF US BIBLE BELIEVING CHRISTIANS AND US UNTO OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST..;.;

Can you indicate which "5 ways" the parchment was proven to be false, and where you got this information?
Again, I'm not saying the parchment isn't a fake. It very well may be. The point is, even if the parchment is a fake, that doesn't "prove" that Jesus was not married, any more than the lack of its mention in Scripture as we have it is proof. Again, if anything, the "default" for someone in his position in that day was married, so it would be more likely for them to have mentioned that he was not married, if he was not, than for them to mention that he was, if he was. We really do not know, either way, and as many people have said, his marital status does not change what he did for our sins. He is still our savior, and being married would not negate that.

Case in point. Zag is basically saying getting married is a sin. Though from his next comment, we have already established that Zag is insane:
wow! I can't believe how you, TheGrungeDiva, hates me so much!! You don't know me. I don't even know you
And you got me so wrong!! Who says , 'getting married is a sin'??-- -- oh lol! So, if this sparked your 'hate', well then, go get married as many times as you like, that''ll be none of everyone's business.
And I suggest you better get a vacation. To cool down a bit

I do not hate you. I simply said you were wrong. If that's what it takes for you to hate someone, that is your problem. I will continue to tell people they are wrong when they are. If you don't like being told you're wrong, don't say things that are wrong.
You did. In the post which I quoted, you said:
"Jesus was never married.... He never sinned."
I simply responded to that, saying that getting married is not a sin. I'm glad to see you now realize that you were wrong.
LOL. Actually, I need a vacation to warm up.
And you need to come home from your vacation and start paying attention to what you write, since you didn't even remember that you had written that.

First, the name Jesus back then was quite common. Just as it's common today. (Although, probably pronounced differently.) So, it's quite possible that at some point there, someone named Jesus was married. Do I believe Jesus Christ was married, no. Because, like Intercessorginger says, He would not leave His children or wife abandoned. We can even see that at the cross. If you remember, Christ specifically appoints one of the apostles to look after Mary. "When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he said to his mother, Woman, behold your son!" However, there is no mention of Christ asking someone to look after His wife or children. Also, if He really were married, I believe a lot of the other non Christians, who were first hand witnesses and wrote about Christ, would also have mentioned it.

I agree. Whenever the New Testament gospels refer to Jesus’ natural relatives, they speak only of his father, mother, and siblings, but never of a wife.
Jesus was not required by law – either governmental or religious – to marry.
If, when he reached the age at which young men in his day married, Jesus and his family realized that he had a special calling which would make marriage quite difficult, then he could surely have remained single.
Two prominent Jewish writers from the first-century A.D., Philo and Josephus, mention that some Jewish men in the time of Jesus were single by choice and actually praised them for it.
Jesus had women family members, friends, and followers; however, nothing in the New Testament suggests that Jesus was ever married to any of these women, or to any other woman, for that matter.
