The loonies are are out again, trying to sow seeds of doubt into your belief by suggesting Jesus was married...
Let's check some facts, shall we? If Y'shua – a Jewish man with a divine qnoma/nature - had had a wife and
kids, He would never have chosen to die on that stake, to leave behind a widow
and orphans! YHWH would not have expected Him to do that. Y'shua's mind - as we
see in Luke 2:49 - was always on YHWH. He knew who He was, and He didn't have
time for a wife and family. That would have been a huge distraction. So, this
attempt by the anti-missionaries is like ALL their attempts to discredit Y'shua - it's weak, and it's a slap in the face of YHWH whom
they are calling a liar.
Plus, He
followed Torah, even to His death. An example is that He made sure His mother
would be cared for after he died:
John
19: 25. Now at the stake of Y’shua were standing his mother and the sister of
his mother and Maryam, that of Qalyopa, and Maryam of Magdala. 26. And Y’shua
saw his mother and a disciple whom he loved who was standing there, and he said
to his mother, Woman, behold your son. 27. And he said to that disciple, Behold
your mother.[1] And at that hour that disciple took her with him. 28. After
these things Y’shua knew that everything was complete so that Scripture might
be fulfilled, and he said, I thirst. 29. And they placed a vessel there that
was full of vinegar, and filled a sponge with the vinegar and placed it on
hyssop and brought it to his mouth. 30. And when he had taken that vinegar
Y’shua said, Behold, it is finished! And he bowed his head and gave up his
spirit.
[1] Not as
in “behold the mother of Elohim” but that John would care for Y’shua’s mother,
and so he takes her with him.
[2] By the
time of Y;shua’s death, his earthly mother was a widow who had no close male
relative to look after her and faced a precarious existence. By entrusting
Maryam to the “beloved disciple” (commonly understood to be John), Y’shua was
not only showing love and concern for his mother, ensuring that she would be
safe and cared for after his death; but following the Torah command to do so
(Exodus 22:21-23)!
(See Isaiah
53 and all of the Feasts/Appointed Times which foreshadow Y'shua. Also, “Whodoes Yeshua say He is: Man or God?”)
