"As His purpose in coming as a human being was to fulfil the scriptures He inspired earlier (amongst which "like a lamb He was led to slaughter") marriage was not in the equation."
 
Could you please post the scriptures of which you speak?

Martha: Believing it "logical" that Jesus had a wife does not make it a fact. robin above is a Jehovahs Witness and not a Christian in the true sense of the word. JW's DO NOT believe in the divinity of Jesus which is the foundation of Christianity. As logical as it is for you to ASSUME Jesus was married it is more illogical for me, as a Chrisitian, to assume He was when the gospels and other Scriptures in the NT are quiet on this topic.
 
For a Christian, Jesus is the Word Incarnate, God made flesh. To put it simply Jesus is God. He came (sent by the Father) to shed His Precious Blood in atonement for the sins of humanity. Jesus did not come to enjoy an earthly life and beget a family. He came that we may have life.
 
I do however understand that as a Muslim you do not believe Jesus as the Son of God, you view Him as a mere prophet so it's fair to question whether He was married or not. But there is NO EVIDENCE that points to Him being married. I seen it elsewhere on this forum that marriage is an act of worship Wacko how so? and worship of whom? Worship is reserved for God alone. 
 
As His purpose in coming as a human being was to fulfil the scriptures He inspired earlier (amongst which "like a lamb He was led to slaughter") marriage was not in the equation. He came not to fall in love with one of His creation but to prove His love for the whole of humanity by taking on a physical body and all the limitations that come with being human and willingly sacrificing His life that we may believe that death has no power over Him and we can trust Him what He said and says completely.  
 
Cheers
 
robin: no offence but the 144 000 his symbolic wife? It is the Church that is the Bride of Christ. And the Church is many millions of individuals both in this life and in the afterlife.
 
Peace

Only a 144,000 of his follower will make up his symbolic wife and become kings with him in heaven to form the kingdom of God!

The spirit-begotten, anointed brothers of Christ become underpriests of the High Priest, �a royal priesthood.� (1Pet 2:9; Rev 5:9, 10; 20:6) These do a priestly work, a �public service� (Php 2:17), and are called �ministers of a new covenant.� (2Cor 3:6) These called ones must follow Christ�s steps closely, faithfully, until laying down their lives in death; Jehovah will then make them a kingdom of priests, making them sharers in divine nature, and will reward them with immortality and incorruption as joint heirs in the heavens with Christ. (1 Pet 2:21; Rom 6:3, 4; 1Cor 15:53; 1 Pet 1:4; 2 Pet 1:4) The purpose of the covenant is to take out a people for Jehovah�s name as a part of Abraham�s �seed.� (Acts 15:14) They become the �bride� of Christ, and are the body of persons whom Christ takes into a covenant for the Kingdom, to rule with Him. (John 3:29; 2Cor 11:2; Rev 21:9; Luke 22:29; Rev 1:4-6; 5:9, 10; 20:6) The purpose of the new covenant requires that it continue in operation until all of the �Israel of God� are resurrected to immortality in the heavens.

When I was a Christian I came to understand that Jesus came to show people the way and to bring to pass the immortality of man. Jesus himself was baptised by John the Baptist in the river Jordan, to show the people that baptism was a necessary step to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. As marriage is also ordained by God, would it also have been necessary for Him to marry whilst on this earth, to show by example?

There are no such entries in the Bible of this event, not that I know of anyway. Many Christians would say that he lived a celibate life. But as a man who felt every kind of emotion, would it make sense that he would have had a wife? Some would say that Mary Magdelene was his wife. After he forgave her past history, she was constantly by His side, washed his feet, prepared meals. He first appeared to her, as the Bible says, after his death, before ascending into Heaven. 

Also, what is the muslim view on Jesus being married, if any. Is there any mention anywhere?

I  was just wondering. It isnt a big deal as such, just wondered if anyone else had thought the same. As for myself, I am happy to think he was married.

Assalamu Alaikum,

Following link may be helpful in this respect.

Some excerpts:

Although the Qur��n does not say anything about Jesus� marriage, his wife or children (nor does the New Testament); there is nothing wrong from the Islamic point of view if he was married and produced children. Allah says in the Qur��n:

We did send Messengers before thee, and appointed for them wives and children: and it was never the part of a Messenger to bring a Sign except as Allah permitted (or commanded). For each period is a Book (revealed). (Hud 13:38)

Hi Angela,

Thanks for that. I know it's a subject that many dont like to discuss. But it would be logical to think Jesus was married.  Thanks for replying.
