As to it being irritating to believers, I don't understand why. Jesus was a rabbi. In this story he married a believer. Rabbis traditionally married devout women. But what do I know? I'm just a believer that is also a de-aproned freemasons currently researching the rosicrucians.
- lotharbot 10y ago> "As to it being irritating to believers, I don't understand why." Two key ideas: 1) Jesus is "married to" the church, as a whole, in traditional Christian doctrine. Being married to a woman would slightly complicate that theory. 2) Theories about Jesus marrying some particular woman are usually not only about that, but come with other baggage attached -- like accusations of suppression of knowledge, or suggested massive rewrites of Christian ideas. And they're typically based on a lot of speculation tied to things written centuries after the fact, not based on careful historical study.
