Why Didn't Jesus Get Married

[Guest HIS girl]

Whats weird is because I've heard people say look at the last supper picture, and you'll see he was married and had kids. I think if were true it would be in bible, and I have seen the picture, and all I see is last supper, but still makes me wonder why.

If you are talking about Leonardo Da Vinci's painting, look at that as a fanciful piece of fluff.

Are you telling me the last supper picture is bad and made by a non believer. I never knew that I always liked it, but I never got a real close up of it to see.

I heard from someone who studied Hebrew culture that illigitimate children were not allowed to marry.

Since the society would have considered Jesus to have been conceived outside the bonds of wedlock, He would have been so forbidden.

I highly doubt that was the reason.

OK.

Would you please explain why?

Everything about The DaVinci Code has been found to be a big hoax. I wouldn't use Leo as a source for solid theology.

It is art and I like the picture also.

But it likely has nothing to do with how the Last Supper actually looked; the same would go with all of our representations of what Jesus Himself looked like. It is the vision of one artist. The only thing we have from scripture is that the Last Supper was just Jesus and His disciples.

The similarity with the last Supper events of the Bible and Da Vinci's painting of the same, is simply the title of LD's painting. If you want to get to the facts about Jesus/God, refer to the Bible and not a painting. LD's painting is insipid in interpretation. Of course the man was a genius and his skill in painting shows that - but don't seek out other material to learn about Christ. Please.

Look at post #8.

Yes it is bad and whether a believer or non-believer painted it, it is still an abomination to God.

Jesus Christ was the only man born that didn't need a woman. Mother, sure, but wife. Nah!

I have always felt that LD portrayed Jesus in a very feminine attitude in that painting. To me it doesn't portray the Jesus of the Bible. It doesn't surprise me that LD painted Jesus in that way as I have heard he was homosexual.
