What if the Di Vinci code was true ?

Question

I asked a couple of my friend both practicing Christians this question and I was suprised by their answers.
If you found out that the Di Vinci code was true and hat here was a blood line to Jesus, how would this affect your faith. Would it make i stronger or would you loose your faith altogether.

Answer 1

It would prob make it easier for me to respect and understand Jesus. If he was a normal man who preached about love and understanding and inspired people then I'd like him more. Its harder to relate to the Son of God. I'd like a more human Jesus. He'd be kind of like Gandhi.

Answer 2

Well, the central premise of the book is self-contradictory, so it would make no difference.
We are told that the 'truth' is that Jesus is not divine, he was just a man who got married to Mary Magdalene. However, it also claims that Mary was worshipped as 'the sacred feminine' because of this marriage. If jesus was just a man, in what way was he 'sacred', in order that she would be 'the sacred feminine'?
this means that the central premise of the book is nonsensical-either Jesus is God, or he was just a normal guy; in which case, no-one would ever have heard of Him after His death.
Therefore, the Da vinci code 'theory' could not possibly be correct, and so it has no bearing on my faith; which is based on facts.

Answer 3

Why would it destroy any ones faith to know that there is a blood line straight to Jesus? What if you were in the blood line would it make you divine or just some lazy dead beat cousin from your mother side. Jesus was first and foremost a man and men have needs. I am sure that God understands that. Although.....I think it is highly improbable. If Jesus could with stand the temptations of Lucifer you think he could with stand his own hormones. After hanging with men all day he probable wanted to talk to a pretty girl. Whats wrong with that? Cut the guy some slack.

Answer 4

If there were actual hard evidence to "prove" the premise of the Da Vinci code then it would completely discredit the message of the Bible.

I don't suppose it would destry the "faith" of many professing Christians, for the simple reason that their faith is not based upon the teaching, theology of the Bible -- rather, it's based upon "spiritual" feelings, perceptions, and cultural values that shape what religion ought to be.

Answer 5

It wouldn't affect me at all as although i am a Christian I don't do the church thing and just believe that u have to lead a good life and do the best u can and try to learn from your mistakes.
I don't see any reason why it can't be true. I mean it can't be proved that the bible is the truth, so Dan Brown maybe knows something we don't. I think that there is no reason why it can't be true. I mean Jesus got to 33 or something like that and u're not telling me that he didn't at least try it once!

Answer 6

I,m Catholic and i don't take the bible word for word,i take it as a good way of living a good life.When it is said to be the Word of God,he isn't exactly quoted there in,I've never believed Jesus to be an only child,how many Catholic families with only 1 child.
I do believe his Blood line would be hunted, and tormented by all sorts,politicans,extrimist,and the stock exchange!!!!

Answer 7

It would bring the entire faith to the ground if the da Vinci code were right.

Answer 8

i think of it rather is a effective artwork of fiction that makes human beings ask extra question approximately what their faith is fairly in keeping with. yet i don't see how Jesus having a relationship with a women human beings might desire to in any way break the instructions that he had taught edit: Dan Brown wasn't there 2000 years in the past. So i don't think of he has any way of proving that each and each physique he wrote became actuality. he's an miraculous author and that i admire his artwork incredibly. yet he rather shouldn't bypass around and declare issues he has no evidence of.

Answer 9

I would take the whole story a little bit more seriously than I do now - Oh and the Men in Black do exist - not Will Smith version but X-file version

Be preared for the flooding of "IT IS FICTION!!!" People can't think outside their tiny box

Good question!

Answer 10

Nothing in the bible specifically precludes Jesus being married. In fact, as he was often reffered to as 'Rabbi', and Rabbis' where expected to be men of wisdom and experience in all matters, it was a matter of course that they were expected to be married in those days. Nor is there anything sinful in the fact that Jesus may have been part of a loving, recognised marriage. The fact that it is not mentioned in the bible is hardly surprising considering how women were regarded in those days. And it does nothing to alter his message or spirituality...
