Dear Gramps:
I read your answer to Bryce, and your quote of BH Roberts regarding Jesus having wives. Does the Mormon Church express any view as to whether Jesus had children?

Dear Shane,
You know that the Mormon Church believes and sponsors the Bible as canonical scripture. Here is a thought on the subject from Isaiah 53:6-11—

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

This is a rather lengthy excerpt from Isaiah, but I wanted to emphasize the fact that this scripture is talking about the Savior of mankind, Jesus Christ. It is clearly apparent from the phrase in bold that the Savior would have had children while in mortality. However, this scripture may also be interpreted as meaning that all who accept the gospel and live by gospel covenants are his seed. It is my opinion that the Mormon Church accepts as true both of these interpretations of that scripture.
