The Purest Kind of LoveS. Edwards
It just doesn't make sense that the Son of God would be married. Yet, many out there who profess to be christian seriously do take on board that Jesus Christ may have been possibly married to Mary Magdelene, and somewhere out there in the world today, are the living breathing ancestors of a man who mission in life was to show us the way to God.
To promote this myth, advotees of the marriage theory, first have to convince us that Christ never died on the cross, that he somehow survived, then went on his way to live a life of seclusion with Mary Magdelene and have children. Books abound, even in religious book stores, from writers who seriously consider themselves knowledgeable, investigative, and experienced, on the life and times of Christ.
Yet they fail to see the real reason why he came to the world, and hence they take away or mar the real reason why many people cannot go to him, or get through him, to God. This possibly doesn't matter to many. Many find the notion of him being married, romantic, and even mystical. They like to think there is a conspiracy in the church. That is, until they need to know him for themselves.
Something I noticed, without being theologically trained myself, about the falacy of all this, is that if I even considered he was a married man, this would automatically bar me from wanting to know him, and he know me. Marriage in itself is a rather inclusive relationship you see. What is that saying:

Two's company, Three's a crowd.
A married man is most strictly out of bounds. Even being friends with someone, who is married, whose heart belongs to another, makes you an outsider, when it comes down to a choice being made in times of trouble.
To the romantics, and those who who do not see the deeper meaning of his life, it should be pointed out that whilst He came to live amongst us, and be with us, his mission was to show us the way out of our very human dependency on the flesh and desires of the flesh. His crucifixtion illustrated his total trust and reliance on his father. That his spirit was superior to the flesh, and that ultimately his spirit was more important. The resurrection also showed me that he overcame death itself. His appearance shortly after was in a healed resurrected body.
Would Jesus Christ really save a prostitute, by the name of Mary Magdelene, tell her to sin no more, and then take him for himself, and use her. I know not. The Love he displayed was much more pure, than mankinds earthy need. Isn't this the Love that all of us really desire to want to know. The purest kind. The love that transcends the bodily desires of another. A love that gives, and never takes.
Isn't there a reason, why ultimately we come to know each other as a brother or a sister, and why God calls us sons and daughters.
If Christ was married to Mary Magdelene, than I cannot meet him. I would not know him as someone who transcended the flesh in his crucifixtion, and continued to love us and show us the way through his spirit.
For those who love a conspiracy, who think there is a real possibility, that the faulty tainted scientific evidence that these writers present is fact, that the church is hiding its own conspiracy that Christ was married, need to look closer.
The real conspiracy is that there is a force that claims to see, that wants to stop us from seeing, and finding, the real spirit of love. To do that, it likes to reduce Christ, to being not a saviour, but a mere man, who decieved us and set up home and had kids. Reduce him to this, and you remove the saviour.
This is the real conspiracy. To stop you finding the purest love of all.
