There is a god. There is a hell. There is no Da Vinchie Code. People will go to heaven or hell based on the fact that they are saved.

Religion is real. Science is the study of creation. Thus the study of science is the study of GOD.

Have a nice day.

I'm guessing you mean "could Jesus have married Mary Magdalen". Why not? The Bible does skip a long period in Jesus' life and why couldn't he have married and had children? I think there is a lot that happened that didn't make the Bible and if you think outside of the box, this could be something that the Church didn't want people to know so they chose to leave it out of the Bible.

What I don't understand is why everyone gets so worked up over the book. So what that someone is throwing an idea out there that isn't talked about in your religion. That's the beauty of it--it makes you think. The author isn't saying it's real,, which is why it is a fiction book. If anything it has gotten people to actually read the Bible and shouldn't that be considered a good thing? I am fascinated with what other people think and what other religions believe and this book has allowed me to get into great conversations.

So people, relax. If someone believes that this did happen it does not mean they are going to hell or that they are atheists. It just means they have a different point of view. Remember that no one is 100% right about religion!!!!

And yes, I actually go to church and I know my religion is not happy with this book.

The central piece of “evidence” produced by Brown’s characters in favor of the belief that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married is Leonardo da Vinci’s painting The Last Supper. The figure to the left of Jesus, always assumed to be a youthful John, is deemed to have feminine characteristics. Even if that were so, how could it be “evidence”? The painting was done 1,500 years after the event!

Brown’s character Teabing argues that the Christian Church’s teaching about Christ is almost totally mistaken. He offers his listeners “photocopies of the Nag Hammadi and the Dead Sea scrolls” and identifies them as “the earliest Christian records,” which “do not match up with the Gospels in the Bible.”

The Nag Hammadi scrolls, in fact, date from about AD 350. The Dead Sea scrolls are copies of Jewish texts from Old Testament times. Neither the Nag Hammadi writings nor the Dead Sea scrolls relate to the New Testament and the Jesus story. The Gospels and the Epistles in the Bible, however, date from the first century AD. They are the earliest Christian records, by comparison with which the accuracy of all other manuscripts should be evaluated.

The basic assumption in The Da Vinci Code is that the ancient pagan worship of “the sacred feminine” is superior to Christianity. But the author shows his bias by the following: “The millennium has recently passed, and with it has ended the two-thousand-year-long astronomical Age of Pisces--the fish, which is also the sign of Jesus. . . . Now, however, we are entering the Age of Aquarius. . . .”

The biggest issue in the Da Vinci Code is the supposed marriage of Jesus Christ to Mary Magdalene. Everyone in mainstream Christianity (Orthodox, Catholic, Anglican, and Protestant sects) all shake their heads in disapproval of the speculation that Jesus Christ was a married man. The church has always taught that the Savior was single and that his commitment to a woman would hinder his mission of redeeming the world. Many people were excommunicated, exiled, and even executed for believing otherwise.

But do you wonder what happened to Jesus after he was lost in the temple? There are no records of Jesus during his adolescence. The next entries in the bible following his childhood are when he was 30 something. The bible never mentioned that Jesus got married, but it also did not mention that he was not. The Jews, after all, get married during their teen years. Mary gave birth to Jesus when she was like, I'm not sure but I heard it was when she was 14... Jesus might have probably hooked up with some Jewish chick and well, we'll never be sure.

By the way, another interesting thing about the bible is that when Jesus died, there were no written records of him and his apostles. The books in the bible were all passed from one Christian community to the other until some bishop decided to record the oral traditions in sheets of papyrus. From those, he selected what seemed to be the one that reflected his ideas of Jesus. There were several gospels and not just the four we modern day Christian consider. Also, the names of the gospels aren't really the names of their actual writers. The gospels are named according to which apostle they are attributed to. The versions of the gospels vary greatly from one Christian community to the other. One Christian community might have a totally different version of the Gospel of John. Oral traditions can also distort various points in the gospels, but I'm not saying that the gospels shouldn't be trusted, especially since I'm a Catholic myself. What I think is that there are a lot of things we don't really know.

There are a lot of new testament writings not found in the bible. What you will find might shock you but it is up to you to discern the fact from the fiction. Unless Jesus himself comes down from heaven and tells everything that happened in his life and the truth about God, we'll never know for sure what is really fact.

You should learn more about the other new testament books. Here's the link:

The Da Vinci Code has to be one of the silliest stories I have ever read but it led me to realize that not everything I believe in is true. I hope in time, we all get to know what really happened.

anything's possible. I guess it's more possible than someone getting pregnant without ever having sex.

But I'm talking about the Da Vinci code. I've never heard of this "Da Vinchie code" that you speak of. Do tell

There is no Da Vinchie Code, there is a Da Vinci Code, however.

I'd say that part of the story is true. Specially all the historical anecdotes. The story line in it self was a bit too Hollywood too fake. But I definitely would say that there are some theories that support the facts presented in the movie.

it isn't actually a theory, it is just a story of fiction that somebody wrote. Just like the bible. So if the bible can be accepted as fact by a bunch of raging lunatics, then so can the da vinci code.

Too many coincidences for me to declare it not possible... read Holy Blood Holy Grail... much more fact based than Da Vinci Code

Nope... no Da Vinci code, just entertaining fiction with some facts thrown in here and there to keep you wondering.
