If it was so that it was lets say proven for the sake of argument that Jesus was infact married to Mary Magdalene would that in any way actually change your faith ? No, it wouldn't. There's no reason why Jesus couldn't have a wife. If it turns out that he was married, then it's perfectly fine. If it's true, it apparently wasn't deemed important enough to record in the gospels. So, no, it wouldn't change my faith. |

Because while in St. John's Gospel, it was Lazarus' sister who poured ointment of Our Lord's Feet, in the Synoptic Gospels, it was a sinful woman (or prostitute) that did poured the ointment on Our Lord's Feet. That was two separate events. The sinful woman anointing Jesus was near the beginning of his ministry, and Mary anointing Jesus was near the end. Luke is the only gospel to include the account of the sinful woman. Matthew and Mark, despite not naming the woman, record the same account as John. Regardless, that was how St. Mary Magdalene ended up being confused with the prostitute in St. Luke's Gospel. |

It wouldn't make me less of a Christian, but it would bring up interesting questions...and probably a big shake up for the Catholics.

No, but, why would Our Lord Be Married to St. Mary Magdalene or any other woman, Knowing He was Going to Be Crucified, & leave her a widow? Also, when did Our Lord even Have time for a family life, when you consider that His Public Ministry took up 100% of His His Life, after He Became Baptized? (In fact, after He Became Baptized, & Began His Own Ministry, Our Lord never even Had a Personal Residence.) '...leave her a widow..." But wouldn't he know he was going to rise from the dead? |

Yes, but, He also Knew He Would Be Returning to His Father, after He'd Rise from the Dead. |

The marriage ends at death though. It wouldn't be the smartest thing for a perfect man to do. Horniness would be a reason I guess, but that could mean Jesus lacks self-control. |
