I am sure most of you have heard of, or seen on TV in recent years that stupid theory that Jesus was secretly married to Mary Magdalene. I never thought of this obvious proof text, to prove that wild theory was totally wrong, until I read the verse today as I was studying. The Words came alive on the page, as the perfect proof that the theory that Jesus was secretly married, is a big LIE. When I saw that program on TV suggest that, I wanted to take my shoe off and throw it at the TV. Some here know quite a bit about Jewish Marriage traditions from the time of Christ. The couple are called Bridegroom and Bride from the moment she accepts his proposal. ONE OF THE MAIN TRADITIONS, is the Bridegroom had to build a NEW DWELLING PLACE for his Bride before they could EVER GET MARRIED. It is why the Bridegroom did not know when he was getting married. That is because the FATHER of the Bridegroom is the ONLY ONE WHO COULD MAKE THE CALL THAT THE NEW DWELLING PLACE WAS FINISHED. Then and ONLY then could the Bridegroom go Call Out his Bride, to begin the seven day Wedding Ceremony IN THE NEW DWELLING PLACE HE HAD BUILT FOR HIS BRIDE. With that in mind, HERE is the PROOF that JESUS was never married, as the world loves to suggest.
Matthew 8:20 (HCSB)
