Hello Bj”rn,
Jesus never married.
Of course he did. He was married to Maria Magdalene, with whom he had several children.
He was never married, but traveled from place to place, along
with a dozen hand-picked disciples and several women. He did get
rid of at least 7 demons from that Magdalene gal, and I suppose
also threw out lots of demons from the other women as well. For
that I am sure they were all eternally grateful.
They lived happily ever after in India, that they fled to after the "resurrection".
Was it a "resurrection" or "resuscitation"?
The evidence (as provided in the gospel accounts) points to
Jesus as having likely survived the crucifixion. All you have
to do is read it for yourself -
* Jesus predicted he would mirror Jonah. You know the story.
Jonah and the whale. Jonah came close to death but was saved.
Talk about a fish story one can truly believe.
* Jesus prayed to be saved in the garden of Gethsemene, praying
mightily for the "cup" (of death) to be taken away from him.
* Pilate's wife had a dream about Jesus, telling her to make
sure her husband would not have anything to do with him.
* Jesus was only pegged on a tree between 3 and 6 hours. Most
folks take longer, like several days, not a few short hours,
to die of crucifixion. This was a drawn out form of punishment
designed to keep onlookers happy for days, not just hours.
* None of the soldiers bothered to break Jesus' legs. For
whatever reason, they must have thought he was already dead.
* The gospel of John records blood and water flowing out
of Jesus' side after a soldier takes a lance to it. This can
only be the result from an active heart and not a dead body.
* The body of Jesus was taken to a private grave site owned
by a rich man, not to a mass grave site like other condemned
criminals.
* Aloe and myrhh were some of the herbs used on the body of
Jesus - herbs known for their healing power.
I can provide you and others with chapter and verse. It's
all there. Don't even have to look outside the gospel accounts.
He wasn't dead when they took him down from the cross --
Some folks who were crucified did survive. Historians have
documented evidence of this. Based on the gospel accounts, it
appears likely that Jesus survived.
it takes more than half a day to die from crucifixion --
Crucifixion was designed to be a drawn out punishment, lasting
several days. To shorten the time period, soldiers would break the
legs of the condemned. It seems likely the test if Jesus was alive
or dead was the lance used to pierce his side. Since Jesus did not
react to a soldier poking him in the ribs with a lance, it was
assumed he was dead.
so there wasn't even a miracle...
More like a resuscitation.
However, none of that means he ever married. Or that the
Magdalene girl was, either. Or any of those other gals who
traveled with him and his merry band of disciples. And why
would any of them want to travel to India, of all places?
Personally, I think he survived and then moved to Japan.
Along with his favorite gal, most likely that Magdalene gal.
Lived to a ripe old age of 115, then buried in Japan. Along
with his girlfriend in the same place.
A Russian writer by the name of Nicolas Notovitch wrote
what has been proven to be a forgery, called "The Unknown
Life of Jesus Christ" - claiming Jesus survived and moved
to India, and is buried in Kashmir. This was published in
1890, and is public domain.
There are pictures online of Jesus' tomb in Kashmir.
I have no idea if the real body of Jesus is actually
buried there, as the tomb looks more like an adobe
house in an old neighborhood. You know the kind, with
paved streets for those who have cars to drive on.
Not really sure if it safe to travel there these days,
as Indian and Chinese soldiers are fighting it out amongst
themselves in that part of the world.
OTOH, not sure if Jerusalem is safe, either ...
