Yes,
As was briefly touched on earlier; (to my knowledge) there does not seem to be any clear-cut teaching that would have been against Jesus taking a wife and having a family, as that was the norm for the Jewish tradition. But Jesus was not the norm. And in most every instance I can think of; His mind was trained upon the work of His Father.

These books do seem to present a case of a true bloodline.
However, I would not get excited about any living descentdant of same.
Supposedly all royal families came from this line.
NOw then, these families all had children that did not make it to the throne.
They all had kids that were still lower on the royal list.

If you do even the most rudimentary math on the generations of descendants from those times, you would come out with a phenomenal figure of descendants. That would include many of us.

So, you see it is really no big deal.

Even I seem to be descended from royalty. Wm the Conquerer is in the mix my great-aunt dredged up in her 10 year quest to research our family genealogy. (She traveled to Europe and looked at many church records and other historical documents.)

There were several others in English, Scandinavian and French positions, but I have forgotten them all.

And if li'l ol' me can claim royal blood, I imagine many can.

Actually, the amount of time accounted for in the Bible of Jesus's life is extremely small, and there were tender moments of a sort - the washing of feet, for example. So I believe that the whole marriage thing just was a non-issue and never brought up.

I suspect that he was married, and it was Mary M. that was his wife. It's a "gut" thing, I suppose, that I believe this, and I hold no disdain for any who would think otherwise. There is currently not enough evidence available to determine either way.

That's right. He had no fear. How could you be human and go through what he did with NO FEAR? But I got us off-topic a bit.

I see no reason why one or more of Jesus' half-brothers couldn't have procreated. In fact, they almost surely did, given the marriage laws of the day. And a man was pretty much an outcast if he couldn't create a male child.

Well, you know there's been news articles about how Prince Charles believes he has a jewish lineage. Not saying that's true, but I've read some things about it. Don't believe everything I read, however.

Those news articles even got twisted into how he could possibly be the anti-christ. Now that, I definitely don't believe.

Tis true. And they always cause controversy and bitterness in the threads. If we could all just be nice too each other....And hey, I'm guilty of falling into the trap too.

This might be off-topic a bit, but does anyone have the correct central daylight savings time? My puter gives one time and my tv scheduling gives another. they both are suppose to be automatic changeovers.
