     Moses is credited with the first five books (the Pentateuch) and certainly
     the Torah consists of more then these.  However you are add more to what
     is in the Torah, including quotes from the Rabbis (the Talmud) which are
     NOT divinly inspired, but the 'works' of man.

   There are many 'false' books of Scripture that were never accepted as
   God's wprd.

   Being at a 'wedding ceremony' does not mean the Lord was married.  The groom
   and bride were probably friends of the family and Jesus attended as a favor
   to Mary.  Travelled/cohabitted?  Boy are you reaching!  Most of Jesus's
   company was male disciples and apostles.  He never cohabitted with a women
   (you can never find ONE Biblical reference in the traditional writtings).
   He also had many women friends (Mary, Martha, etc), but they were supporters
   and financeres of His ministry NOT sexual partners.

   Isn't it interesting that Paul's life was saved by the efforts of his
   Nephew warings to the Roman authorites about the effort of the Jew's to
   kill him.  It was evident that he at least had family (sister, brothers)
   that were married and had children.  As I said before being a Pharisee
   he was probably a member of the Sanhedrin, which DEMANDED a mam be married
   to qualify for membership, he was probably a widower who never remarried.
   Paul said "I wish that all men were as myself" (1 Cor. 7:17)  For the 
   Gospel's sake he chose to remain unmarried for the sake of his ministry.

Christianity is a personal relationship, not a religion
