Unfortunately, we are more likely to believe that Herod had children as history indicates but we are not soo certain about Jesus. We have no idea except that He showed a profound understanding of the marital covenant. As it was in the beginning so shall it be in the end. See Matthew 5 and Matthew 19. Some have suggested that He did but it may not have been a registered union; most likely not. He might have had to run away again as he had to as a child but in his early adult life with a wife and child; just like his parents did when he was very young. They ran to another land. Even so, this does not mean that the prophets and the law should not be fulfilled. There is nothing else. This includes grace and God's equity. Even Herod's progeny would benefit from a safe society where there is civility and good law being maintained more often than not. It just costs less to live in a society with good law and where all of the students know how to learn a formula and then apply it to build a building or to process a restaurant application based on the code. Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins according to the law and the prophets. You could accept Christ and save your psychological need to kill an animal or to hurt someone since everybody sins. The psychology of remission remains and it is prophetic while some people decide to hurt others (sacrificing animals is no longer feasible-people need to eat) who are "oblivious" and "unaware" to satisfy what their private behavior calls for so that they may have some sense of peace. It's much easier if you just accept Jesus. Let go of your human sacrifices. Jesus is enough. Watch the "Passion for the Christ" if you forget what was already paid for your remission. A magna carta machine/android that calls in the troops to save a citizen any where in civil society at the supermarket or department store might help. The simple miracles may be more profound than the parting of the red sea. They happen every day like a hydrogen fuel cell, electricity(see Noah's blue prints and patents), Tide cold water or a 2 for 1 deal at the supermarket. May it never be that Miccy D will have green hair and a purple suit. May ambrosia's custard stay sanctimonious. Life should not imitate art but dirty music video culture makes people's brains overly porous; studies show. Hence, life imitates art. May there be art that is worth imitating in maintaining, not destroying, our culture or our civilization.
