Why should Jesus be in a "one-flesh" relationship with a carnal bodied woman? Jesus also said that His kingdom is not of this world, right?
Originally posted by KingOnPointIt seems important to you!
Wolfgang,
Why is it important to know by the bible that Jesus did not have a wife?

Well ~ similarly ~ I could ask you how does getting married interfere with his "Kingdom being not of this world"?
Originally posted by KingOnPointWell, for it to be coherent on some hypothetical level, either the theology is that he was a human or it isn't.
If Jesus' body had been carnal, then how could His human death have counted for mankind as a substitute for sin? How would His blood have counted as an innocent sacrifice for mans' sins? The Israelites sacrificed who knows how many times what was innocent blood if the sacrifice "qualified" under the Law of God.
Jesus Qualified for sacrifice for mans ...[text shortened]... de him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Originally posted by KingOnPointI am familiar with this dogma. It's just a set of stylized assertions. Here are some counter-assertions. Jesus didn't have to be sinless. There is no such thing as "perfect sacrifice". It did not matter if He was tainted with sin. Now, there we have competing assertions. I have a feeling you cannot address the contrasts between these competing assertions without simply regurgitating some stuff that you have internalized.
Christ Jesus had to be a sinless and perfect sacrifice. He could not be tainted with sin. Had He been connected with sin, he could not be the sinless perfect sacrifice for mans' sins in both human and divine forms.
Originally posted by KingOnPoint"A secondary question would be, “Could Jesus Christ have been married?” There is nothing sinful about being married. There is nothing sinful about having sexual relations in marriage. So, yes, Jesus could have been married and still be the sinless Lamb of God and Savior of the world. At the same time, there is no biblical reason for Jesus to marry. That is not the point in this debate. Those who believe Jesus was married do not believe that He was sinless, or that He was the Messiah. Getting married and having children is not why God sent Jesus. Mark 10:45 tells us why Jesus came, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Wolfgang,
What is important about Jesus not being married was that He was separate from sin! That is why it is important.
