How was Jesus the son of God?

Answered by .

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.

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?

Answered by .

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?

Answered by .

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.
