So... this Da Vinci code stuff... theoriezes that Jesus and Mary Magdelene may or may not have had children...

Question

The fact that he was a jewish tradesman from a bloodline decended from King Solomon and King David, that isn't disputed, but wouldn't elders have a bird if he didn't get married before he turned 20? That's ten years after he started his mission according to the bible.

Are you relieved that Jesus wasn't rumoured to be... y'know... gay?

Answer 1

sweetheart, the Davinci Code is a story. a good read, but COMPLETE herasey. i'm not relieved to find out that hes not rumored to be gay because i never once had any reason to believe that he was...

Answer 2

A gay Jesus? I don't know... maybe the Romans were homophobes and that's the real reason why Jesus was crucified. Although I doubt it because there was a lot of same sex relationships going on with the Romans. I myself believe the theories of there being an existing bloodline of Christ could possibly be true. The only thing is that it wouldn't make a difference to me since I'm not really a follower of Christ. His descendant would just be an average Joe to me. In this day and age blood carries no power unless it's attatched to a trust fund. Nowadays blood controls almost nothing and Money almost everything. People may worship a descendant of Christ, but everyone else wouldn't give a damn. The descendant would be like a celebrity constantly in the eyes of the press. If Christ's descendant decided to pick now as his/her time to come out to the world (entendre not intended), it wouldn't make a difference to those who don't follow the religion, but to Christ's followers it would ruin the Christian religion for good.

Of course this is just hypothetical. The theory is just that, a theory. Nothing else can be made of it.

Answer 3

First... Jesus was a carpenter. Not a tradesman.
Second... Jesus started His ministry when he was 30. Not 10.
Third... you can't compare Christ's bloodline to the theory of him being married.... His bloodline is written about in the Bible... Him being married is not. In fact there's no historical evidence of this ANYWHERE. It's a rumor. Nothing more. Nothing less. Dan Brown (author of The Da Vinci Code) does a really good job at NOT distinguishing between fact, faction, rumor and speculation. Be careful what you read.
Fourth... I can't even tell what your question is, really.
Write your questions more carefully. You're confusing.

Answer 4

I don't know about the theories that Mary Magdalene escaped to France with their child, but it was expected of every Jewish father to find a wife for his son. The Book of Thomas, which was found in Egypt only in the past 100 years, does state that Jesus kissed Mary often on the _________ (the papyrus is conveniently torn there). The interpretation I read substituted "face", but others say "lips," indicating an intimate relationship. But early Christians also referred to giving knowledge as "kissing" each other, so it's purely a matter of interpretation. There's also a theory that the marriage where Jesus turned the water into wine was his own marriage--that's why they went to him when there was no wine. He may have been married, and I don't understand why so many Christians feel threatened by that. He was both the son of God and the son of Man--what would it matter that he followed the traditions of man as to proper conduct of the day?

Answer 5

Nope, i do no longer think of that there is any info, yet in spite of if there replaced into, it does no longer count. Marrying somebody isn't a sin. He does no longer have achieved something incorrect via marrying her or perhaps having intercourse after his marriage (along with her). He did no longer destroy any of his rules. Legend has it that the Holy Grail is the cup that Jesus drank from on the final supper. in case you think of with regard to the origins of the Holy Grail (no count if that is Mary or a cup), it only would not make sense for that is Mary.i'm no longer able to describe it in words, and that i could provide help to study my concepts, yet I have no theory the thank you to try this. i'm gonna bypass placed my shoes on now... playstation , a pair years in the past I study the e book Cracking the Da Vinci Code. study it and each thing will make greater sense. i think of.

Answer 6

First, the DaVinci Code is just another theory (among many) Second, even if it were real, there's nothing that would bring the light of that truth out today on a society afraid of change and truth in the first place. Third, if Jesus were gay, none of us would be us, the world would be full of matching drapes, perfect men, and coordinating shoes to match our fig leaves. Plus the word 'Fabulous" would begin the dictionary. My opinion, we will never know the truth or what actually happened. We will never know what's there until we die. We will never know the true full story, there is too much information we have left out, and too much information destroyed that we will never find.

Answer 7

I really don't care. I read the Da Vinci Code (it was a Christmas present) and found it to be rather pretentious. And I wouldn't have minded if Jesus was gay. Maybe he was. Bisexuality was all the rage back then. (Which isn't technically the same but close enough)

Answer 8

I am an atheist but, if you are interested in the Jesus story I recomend reading The Jesus Mysteries by Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy. It explains alot.

Answer 9

It would have been unusual for a Jewish man not to be married...even if he did have a relationship and/or children, it wouldn't really affect my faith. Maybe he was gay, he was conspicuously silent on the subject...
(uh oh, now I'm going to get heretic mail..."

Answer 10

Uh, considering that Jesus was an unconventional figure in his time and was crucified for the waves he was making, I don't think it's unreasonable to believe that he wasn't married, especially if he believed that he was bringing God's Kingdom to the people.
