I had read at some point that during this period of our history, rabbis had to be married or they weren't able to preach.
Jesus was a rabbi in that part of the world and to not have been married would have been a very serious sacrilege.
The lost gospels of Mary Magdalene also pointed to that fact, as she would not only had been a wife but a disciple as well, pissing off Peter to the highest degree.
But as so many other things, we will never know the truth for sure.
Thus why I never did put much 'faith' in the Bible. For me, the stories it contains are somewhat as credible as some UFO stories we hear nowadays.
Which isn't much evidence. Lots of rumors and circumstantial evidence but never one solid smoking gun.
But that's just me. :)
Now you no longer need to wonder why I mostly never post in these religious threads, being called a 'heretic' isn't my forte.
