Was Jesus completely masculine?
score:8
Luke 2:21-24 documents that Jesus was circumcised on the 8th day after his birth, and his parents offered a sacrifice at the temple which is necessary for a firstborn son, according to the Law of Moses.
21 After eight days, when it was time to circumcise him, he was named Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived. 22 Also, when the time came for purifying them according to the Law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to Jehovah, 23 just as it is written in Jehovah’s Law: “Every firstborn male must be called holy to Jehovah.” 24 And they offered a sacrifice according to what is said in the Law of Jehovah: “a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.”
Circumcision implies that Jesus was male and had a penis. The Bible as a whole is completely consistent about this, always using male pronouns and referring to him as a man and son. There's no doubt that there was any abnormality in this regard.
The Bible does not mention Jesus having a wife. Jesus taught that if a person can make room to remain single for the sake of God's Kingdom, he should remain single and not get married. (Matthew 19:10-12) Jesus set a good example for single people in this matter.
