What is wrong if He was married?
Recently, researchers discovered documents suggesting Jesus Christ was actually married.
If that was the case, what is wrong with that? What was wrong for Jesus Christ to get married?
Don't our pastors also get married? Don't eminent and highly respected people also get married? So what was wrong for Jesus Christ to get married?
If Jesus Christ were to have a extramarital affair, that would be different. Perhaps it would be better for our religious people to censor those portions of his history.
However, what was wrong if Jesus Christ were to get married? How unethical was that? So why must this piece of information be censored?

Unlike many other gods, Jesus was supposed to be without any sin at all. Sex within marriage is not viewed as sinful to produce children, but it would introduce the animal passion of lust and reduce the spotless image of Jesus. There would also then be the problem of explaining God's further offspring if they had children, if they did not have children as a result of marriage that would also mean Jesus was not perfect.
Jesus is supposed to be so perfect that nobody can equal Him, but it was at that time very odd for a man of His age not to be married. It is quite likely that the women of His life were redacted from the story by writers and clergy. If He ever existed of course.

Nothing and what little evidence there is in the Bible would suggest that he was married. Of course most Churches preach a phony feel good Jesus not the one in the Bible that was the son of Joseph.

Not explicitly
but logically
it contradicts Bible teaching.
Let's be clear: there would be nothing wrong (sinful) about Jesus being married.
But...the idea being contradictory to what the Bible teaches, for some Christians the idea - spoken aloud - verges on blasphemy.

What is wrong is he was NOT married, and those who suggest that he was were lying.
Jesus knew that he was going to have a relatively short ministry in which he will not be saving up money for a widow and children. He could have miraculously taken care of them, but he didn't with Mary his own mother. In those days women in that position have a very difficult time, financially, which is why Mary's unbelieving sons took care of Mary until Jesus gave that responsibility to his apostle John just before his death. This is also the reason why within the Christian congregation there were special arrangements for the support of widows who did not have family. Acts 6 and 1 Timothy 5:3-10
Also, Jesus often characterized himself in his parables as a bridegroom. (Matthew 22:2; Matthew 25:10) Paul called the anointed Christian congregation as his chaste bride (2 Corinthians 11:2), and this is repeated in Revelation 14:1-3 and 19:7 and 21:3. This is not a description of a man who is already married.
In addition, Jesus knew that he was going to die for the sins of mankind, after which he was going to be resurrected and return to heaven. He read and quoted the Psalms and Isaiah's prophecy, and the rest of the scriptures often, repeating what the Messiah was going to do, and he was determined to fulfill them.
The documents that some people found that suggested that he was married were written long after the events of Jesus' life, and they are nothing but uninspired fables, written by people who did not know Jesus when he was in the flesh, and who did not live during his time on earth.
So Jesus was not married.

Bull.
God the Son wasn't interested in anything but the souls of his creatures.

When you accept that Jesus was married, this explains a lot.
Why he spent 40 days and nights in the worldliness; why he faked his own death....
Now it all makes perfect sense.
