Question on God having a Wife … funny responses and also Bride of Christ theme

November 12th, 2014

Most recent question: Does God have a wife?
I’m so tempted to respond … “No. But, his online dating profile is AMAZING!” … I’m sure you’ve all had responses you’d like to give that you just couldn’t.

  • You, Ed Chait, Marc Weiss and 2 others like this.
  • Lea Ann Davis McCombs The answer I most often have to resist giving is just one word: NO. Some questions are so ridiculous I hate validating them with a long response, like “Can I marry my ex-wife’s teenage step- sister and still go to heaven?” LOL

  • Jed Kramer The nice thing about such simple questions is that they often reveal a deeper need. This questioner clearly doesn’t know God intimately. After a “no” answer, I was able to say a few things about marriage and the spiritually intimate relationship God wants to have with each of us. One nice thing about this fb page is having the freedom to have a little fun amid the seriousness of this ministry.
  • Robert Pristoop I had a similar question where a young person–having read that all Rabbis are married–and that all Rabbis must be married to fulfill commandments to be fruitful and multiply–insisted Jesus must have been married since he was a Rabbi. I explained that Jesus will be married to his bride (the congregation) at his second coming and that we are in the engagement period with our Messiah. I basically laid out the Ancient Jewish wedding ceremony as it does a great job of showing the relationship between us and Jesus as the bride of Messiah.
