Well, according to the bible (and i believe in it) jesus was sent to the earth as a mortal,but he still was the son of God. He was a mortal in the sense, that he was born as a mortal, and that if he was hurt he could bleed, if he was killed he could die, as he actually did. But he didnt stay dead, he resurrected, which really proved that he was the son of god. So this fact shows that as a son of god his mission in earth wasnt to get married and form a family, his mission was saint, was to bring hope. No one is saying that sex and family are a sin, no way, but that wasnt his mission, so please, one more time, enjoy the da vinci code as a THRILLER, but dont believe in it, because it is full of crap that wanna make you believe that it has veracity.

I wouldn't base your beliefs on a work of fiction such as The Da Vinci Code or, indeed, any other piece of writing without checking source materials. Do you believe everything you read unquestioningly ?
A proper historian will go back to as close to source as possible for evidence and, in this case, it would be the gospels and the writings of historians working at around the time of Christ.
There is no mention in any of these works of Christ marrying or having children. In fact, setting the gospels aside, it is difficult to prove the existence of Jesus himself, let alone any offspring.
As regards Jesus being mortal - if you believe he died on the cross then, by definition, he must have been mortal. As regards a bloodline..........great story, good fiction............but very shaky grounds as regards any supporting facts.

The Da Vinci Code is a work of fiction, but the idea is intriguing to say the least. If Jesus were a mortal man and not displayed with the God-like qualities that he was given in the Bible, it would not lessen my respect for him whatsoever.
If someone's faith is fragile enough to be crumbled by a work of fiction or if by discovering that this fiction is truly a fact, and they lose all belief then their belief system had a poor foundation. If they can not question their faith at all, how do they know that what they believe in is truly from the heart?

Fiction based on theories of several different groups. Do some research and make up your own mind. There is some compelling evidence but tracing history beyond the dark ages is difficult and full of holes. If the bloodline exists I believe it would be very hard to find out where it is. Also do some research on who Jesus was. He appears in lots of anchient texts and only in the Bible as the son of God. He is always described as a wise man with a good heart but many texts sight him as that only. He was known to the Bhuddists before they came in contact with Christians, so his existence is probably quite real, but it was the Christians who labeled him the son of God.

Yes Jesus was a mortal, that is a historical fact. However there are no direct descendants because he had no children. There are probably still descendants of Mary, his mother and Joseph, his earthly father, But Jesus has no direct descendants.
The Davinci Code is fiction. Do not believe everything you read .

Whether you are to believe it or not is up to you. The Da Vinci Code is a work of fiction but many claim that it is telling the real story of what happened to the historical Jesus.

As someone who has understood the yogic practises in Indian tradition, I can say with some conviction that it is possible for those who had attained the highest form of spiritual bliss, due to constant practise and with the blessings of the Supreme God to leave the present existence with the body. There are many saints in India who had attained that stage. In the recent history, to my knowledge, it was Ramalinga Vallalar. He had voluntarily dematerialised himself and merged into the divine presence.

Sure! Why not.
There's really no proof that he didn't, although, I know you can't prove a negative, so that's rather moot. Anyway, if he was truly a rabbi in that era, then it would have been very appropriate that he WAS married. It would have been expected, unless he was one of the Essenes which lived in almost isolation.
But, you know, so what? The descendents of probably all major religion founders still exist, so why not?

No, but if He was, by now we'd all be related to Him.
Don't forget, the Da Vinci Code is a lot of nonsense. An entertaining story but really bad history.
