Debate with Darfius No 3 Gods Existence

Well, what I said was 'it makes no theological difference.'

What I mean is, in terms of Jesus's teachings or those Scriptures
which were directly inspired by Him (i.e., the canonized NT),
Jesus's being married does not impact them ...[text shortened]... married
doesn't change the impact of that statement.

What about His bride then, the Catholic, meaning Universal, Church ?

From a personal point of view, would you feel betrayed or cheated on if Christ had an intimate relationship or marriage?

[b]No, just like the other Gospels, it was written pseudonomynously.

My point, Darfius, is that Dan Brown has nothing to do with the
debate. The debate started long, long ago.

(DID YOU MEAN : pseudonymously ? )

Hehe, Nemesio got OWNED by Darfius ... LOL.

I assume that you are referring to this text:

Ephesians 5:23a -- For the husband is the head of the wife,
as Christ also is the head of the church...

It is making an analogy, not making a direct statement. That
Christ is 'married' to the church is a much later notion than
Scripture tells us. Indeed, it doesn't say anything but that
Christ rules over the Church (a logical theological stance)

As such, His having a wife wouldn't change that one iota.

Did you have another passage in mind?

Is it possible to want to marry a woman without lusting after her?

This sounds like the Madonna-whore debate.

Your point?

If you think not, then you don't know what True Love is.

Is it disrespectful to you to think of a woman in a sexual way?

From a Biblical standpoint, yes:

St Matthew 5:27-28

[Jesus said,] 'You have heard that it was said, "You shall not commit adultery."
But I say to you, everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed
adultery with her in his heart.'
