One of my discussions gets a response telling me that Yeshua (Jesus) did marry someone named Miriam of Magdala and they had 3 children. All of them lived in Yemen and were protected by some sheik. In the end all the descendants of Jesus had converted to Islam. To me, this is incredible. Who is Miriam of Magdala? Is this woman and Marry Magdalene are the same person? How come all the descendants turned themselves into Islamic followers? Please give me hints on how to find answers these curious questions in mine mind.

The universe is full of undiscovered mysteries. - Talks about Jesus' descendants is just like mysteries in outer space, we may never know the whole truth.
In a nut shell, it is just too incredible to me.

There are a lot of people who would love for this to be true, which is where nonsense like the Davinci code comes from. These are people who can't live with the idea of Jesus and don't want him to be as the Bible portrays him. Why this can't be true: Much of the New Testament (gospels) were written by those who personally knew Jesus. They certainly would have known if he got married, this would have been quite significant! Those gospel writers were on the whole killed for their beliefs, if they were hiding anything, why on earth would they endanger their lives by 'sticking to a story'. they had nothing to gain from hiding the truth... On the other hand, Jesus had at least one 'brother' in the sense that Mary and Joseph had other children. The Bible lets us know this, but omits this alleged marriage?? I don't think so. There are other Gnostic texts which make these claims, but then there are all sorts of claims about Christ, I recommend that if you want to know about Jesus, read the Gospels. Jesus had no wife and no children, his mission was to be a sacrifice for our sins not to sire children.

The bible - The bible is a written witness of Jesus' mission on earth.
Paul initially was the enemy of the Christians. He threw stones to kill the followers of Jesus. But later he became a disciple of the Lord. He was one of the loyal apostles who were killed when spreading good news from the gospel. It quite obvious that if there is any truth about Jesus marriage he wouldn't hide it.

He was not the only one, I think most of the apostles met similar fates...

I wish you had asked for the evidence. There is no evidence that Jesus married. If Jesus had ever married there is no reason why the most authentic texts about Jesus would miss that point out. I think there are so many speculations floating around about Jesus. And the best thing is to ask for evidences whatever kind of idea people come up with. The best way to get to know about Jesus is to go back Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. There is no other book besides these books that can give better account of Jesus' life.
