It doesn't matter whether you read the book, or not.
What you wrote is similar to what Dan Brown wrote. I used the phrasing, "Dan Brown-type."
So, I was a bit concerned why you would give that trash the space in these threads.

"Why are you spreading, propagating this Dan Brown-type trash?"
Eden here:
First of all, aiopj, I am aware that Dan Brown had written a book which was talked about a lot last year and which was made into a movie, but I had to ask my co-worker what the name of the book was. I won't bother to repeat its title here.
Secondly, I have never read the book nor do I ever intend to read it, nor did I see the movie nor do I ever intend to see the movie.
So, it appears that since you know that Dan Brown raised the question of how Jesus was able to escape not being married in the 1st century, according to Jewish custom, that you, aiopj, were reading this trash yourself, but not me.
The question came up for me recently because a section of a Christian book I was reading, called "Man as male and female", by Paul K. Jewett covered the subject which I had never given any thought to before.
So, aiopj, before you jump to conclusions, please try to add some kindness to your posts, instead of blabbing off with, "Why are you spreading, propagating this Dan Brown-type trash?"
Thank you, Eden.

Unless Jesus had by then convinced his parents to the point where Jesus's PARENTS understood that Jesus "had to be about the Father's business", it is hard to see how Jesus got around not being FORCED to marry, like all young men in 1st century Jewish custom.

Matthew 1:20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
I'm sure at this point Joseph knew there was something unusual about this conception. Besides, Jesus wasn't really his biological son, so he would have no control over his final destiny.

Have you not read in the Bible that Jesus was born of a virgin and Joseph was visited by an angel. Did you notice that Jesus did not do what the Pharisees wanted Him to do. That is why they had Him killed.
Jesus is God and did not need the Pharisees telling Him what He had to do.
I would believe on Jesus and place my faith in Him before it is to late. People trying to prove Jesus is not who he said he was has been going on since He has risen from the dead. He is the only way and He is who He said he was. And trying to place doubt in people about Jesus not being who He was comes only from Satan.
I believe I am seeing why you wanted this message board and not the one I made for you to have a no ban rule.

Paul wasn't married because his main commission was going out into the marketplace to win souls. Marriage would have not freed him up for this total responsibility. He wasn't against marriage, but said,
1 Cor. 7:32 I want you to be free from the concerns of this life. An unmarried man can spend his time doing the Lord’s work and thinking how to please him. 33 But a married man has to think about his earthly responsibilities and how to please his wife. 34 His interests are divided.
Marriage would have distracted Jesus. This was Jesus' one and only mission in life -
Phil 2:7But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Or did he manage to get himself excluded from having to get married? And if so, how and for what reasons?
If Jesus was in all respects a 1st century Jew then he should have been married.
But Jesus was also the Son of God born of the Holy Spirit, and not born of the Adam and Eve spirit.
Moreover, the woman or wife was considered to be equal in Christ, in whom there is neither male nor female (Gal.3:28)
So as Son of God, in the kingdom of God they do not marry nor are given in marriage (Luke 20:34-36), and in Christ there is no male and female, Jesus as the Son of God was on a level ABOVE gender-love of marriage on earth, and in that case Jesus would not have been married.
But how would Jesus have been able to explain this to his parents?

He was betrothed, was He not? ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
Jhn 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
The disciples would have understood that Jesus was speaking as a groom speaks to his bride: He left to prepare a place for His bride. Later, it would be revealed to the saints that the church was in fact the Bride of Christ.
