Can anyone help ? Why wasnt jesus married. Surely a jewish man at this point in history would have been. Why no explanation to the contrary.
Perhaps this is another example of the bible's revisionism of the role of women in society. Would the admittance of jesus's union with a woman raise the fairer sex to a point of equality with man, and lower jesus from deity to man/philosepher.
Surely this is a more acceptable truth, that men collated the bible (selecting which gospels to include), and elevated mans importance in order to increase both influence and power.

Why no women priests then ?
OK, i accept your points from the bible that women werent all bad, although i thought original sin was laid at their door (you will probably have a field day proving that wrong, what can i say, im a lapsed catholic) And blaming Eve for everything was a bit heavy handed on the big ones part.
So, seeing as how the bible was such a pro-woman read, why is it that there are no women catholic priests. Surely this is wrong, im sure i read once that Jesus made Mary Magdelene one of his disciples (i accept the term disciple may have been used in a some what looser form), so if the son of God saw fit for her to spread the word, why dont we allow it ?

Lots of people believe this, though its more to do with paganism than christianity. Da Vinci was supposed to believe this.
