For what it matters as a former Christian/now agnostic, I believe you really hit the nail on the head here. I recall reading articles about the relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene, and to say the least, any way you look at it, the relationship was complex. But it seems that even though romantic and/or sexual love are gifts from God in the Christian sense, so many Christians want to shame it and make it a filthy sin. If Jesus Christ is indeed God in the form of man (that is the Christian tradition that I myself was raised in, and I understand not all Christians believe the same), then wouldn't he have felt the same feelings and emotions as your average flesh-and-blood man, and wouldn't that probably include sexual and/or romantic feelings?

Oh dear...sorry for the damn dissertation here, but yeah, you hit the nail on the head.

I think the trouble stems from the (very false) idea that Jesus can be "less God" if He 'succumbs' to His humanity, when actually, just the opposite is true. He is always All God, All Man, All Holy Spirit - it's kind of the point of the entire exercise, if you know what I mean. ;)

If Magdalene was His chosen one as Man that doesn't affect His standing as God and Holy Spirit in the slightest. She cried with His Mother (who was also the Bride of the Holy Spirit and yet her role isn't called into question) at the cross and she was given the gift of seeing him Risen first. At the very least she was extraordinarily blessed, maybe so much so that certain male voices of the church found her threatening enough to turn into something she definitely wasn't.

I'm very happy to envision her as His human wife, whether consummated or not. She's worthy of the title.

Sorry, I've just got to say that I really like where this thread is going. Very beautiful way of thinking that I can't help but agree with. :)
