Question
hey i have a diffrence of oppinion with my husband, see he thinks that Jesus did get married and he saids that he also had kids. Well i was raise in church and never remember any of that. (magdalena he saids ) Im sure that is not true but my world is not prove! Do u know anything that would help in that part or were to go on the bible?
Hello Amelid,
I'm glad you asked. The proof is on your side. There is not a single bit of actual evidence to support your husband's argument. His opinion is nothing more than a personal prejudice and there are other people with the same prejudice. There is nothing in the New Testament that would indicate in any way that Jesus was married or had children. However, he did have brother's and sister's, or at least half brother's and sister's. There have been large numbers of attempts to discredit the Bible over the centuries but there has never been even one critic who could produce proof for his claims and the idea that Jesus was married and had children is just one of the thousands of unproven claims against the Bible. Consider this for example. The writers of the Bible claimed that what the Old Testament prophets, Jesus, and Jesus' apostles said was confirmed to be the absolute truth by the miracles that they performed and that not even an angel from heaven was to add anything at all to what the Bible contains. Now, virtually all of the miracles described in the Bible took place in the presence of many human witnesses causing a great many of them to believe and obey the things taught by the one performing the miracles. That was the purpose of the miracles. They served as proof that was taught by the one performing them that what they said was actually from God and not just something that they had made up. Twenty centuries have gone by since those days and not a single piece of evidence has been found that indicates that those miracles did not happen exactly as the Bible describes them and there has not been a single thing that could correctly be called a miracle that has happened since that time in spite of what anyone says. According to what the writers of the New Testament said, God stopped working miracles through humans by the time the last of Jesus' apostles died because he had revealed everything about his will for humans through them that we need to know in order to please him and allow us to be saved. Now, anyone that claims to be a miracle worker is a liar and a deceiver attempting to get people to follow his or her particular prejudiced ideas about what the Bible says by performing false miracles, or tricks that fool a great many people. Who, since the days of Jesus and his apostles for example, has raised a person back to life that has been dead and buried for days? Or, who has ordered the weather to change and had it to happen instantly? Or, who has ever taken a little bread and a couple of fish and fed thousands of hungry people and had more bread and fish left over than they had to begin with? Just as the Jew named Nicodemus said in John 3, "No one can do such things unless God, the creator of the universe, is causing it." So, until your husband can prove that such miracles never happened then he is just arguing for the sake of argument and nothing more. He just dosen't want to make the effort to learn the truth. It might cause him to believe something that he does not want to believe.
I hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Mr. McClellan

Expertise
I can answer questions concerning Christian doctrine as well as other kinds of questions relating to religion. One important thing, among many, that needs clearing up is the meaning of religion. Religion is any system of belief that tries to explain how people should think and behave so that life is the best it can be. The definition found in the dictionary is seriously in error being based on popular but wrong ideas. Email me at and.the.truth.is@GMX.com for a free PDF 5 page introduction to my just completed book, "And The Truth Is?" It's uniquely different and interactive, designed to show you that you can actually know the way, the truth, and the life Jesus spoke of and what he expected people to do to participate in it as well as what to expect if they did.
Experience
My education puts me second to none in this area and I have had over forty years experience in the area of teaching Christian theology, doctrine, apologetics, hermeneutics, history, and philosophy. Publications: Among the things that I have written is a summary of the entire Bible that is intended to help people put it all together and quickly understand exactly what the writers of the Bible intended for everyone to understand. By reading it and then reading the Bible, the correct understanding should become quite clear and a sincere student will recognize that they have received an invaluable aid to knowing how to correctly interpret the Bible so that they can know, with certainty, that they are understanding it correctly. At the same time, they will be able to recognize the vast number of false doctirnes that are being called Christian doctrines but are only the teachings of men and have no more authority than any oridinary man can give them.
Organizations
I belong to no officially recognized organizations. I'm simply a person with a deep and lifelong desire to know the truth, a desire so strong that I have, for more than 50 years, poured myself and a lot of money into finding it and making sure of it. I believe that life is too short and valuable to waste it believing a lot of stuff that isn't true. Everyone can't be right and be in disagreement at the same time and the claims made by the writers of the Bible are simply too serious to guess about.
Publications
It's quite obvious that the Bible is not easy to comprehend thus all the divided opinions about what it teaches. I am finalizing a short treatise on the Bible that I believe will help a lot of people who seriously want to get a clear understanding of what the Bible actually has to say to everyone, a treatise that should take the mystery out of it and show that it really makes sense. People deserve help in recognizing the truth about what the Bible says because there is so much false teaching about it that is actually leading people away from God instead of to God. It should be ready to send out by the end of this year, 2011 or before.
Now, you can purchase a PDF copy of my book "And The Truth Is?" on CD. It's very unique and it's interactive. If you're tired of living with a best guess and want to learn for certain what the truth is, this, the result of over 50 years of research and serious study, is what you're looking for.
Education/Credentials
I have two degrees in education, including religious belief systems. I also have many years of experience and many thousands of hours of study and research on which I've based my new book, "The Bible Actually Makes Sense."
Awards and Honors
All of my awards and honors are in the form of compliments from people who've read or listened to my attempts to help them understand what the Bible is about and how to comply with what it actually says. So many have said, in one way or another, that I helped them more than anyone they had ever met. It's comforting to know that my efforts to be of value to others is appreciated.
