How was Jesus the son of God?

Jesus was God’s son, because he came into existence by the power of God causing Mary to conceive him, thus making God his father.  Jesus had no human father.

What animal heard the announcement of the birth of Jesus?

Sheep. And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I […]

The idea that they were married is suggested in the fictional novel The Da Vinci Code, by Dan Brown. However, it has no biblical basis. See “Is there […]

Did Jesus have long hair?

Probably not. Under Jewish law, a man who took a Nazirite vow would grow his hair long as a sign he was under a vow (Numbers 6:5). Consequently, it is most likely that every man not under a Nazirite vow would have short hair, otherwise the long hair of a Nazirite would not mean anything. […]

Is there any suggestion that Jesus ever married?

None at all. Whenever the Bible refers to Jesus’ relatives, it speaks only of his step-father, mother and siblings, but never of a wife. Furthermore, he encourages singleness in Matthew 19:12. For an extensive discussion of the issue, see “Was Jesus married? A careful look at the real evidence” by Mark Roberts.
