DO you agree with the therory behind the Da Vinci code?

Question

Why or why not?

By the therory I ment the idea that Jesus was married and had a child/children. not the movie/book of fiction. Jus tthe therory behind the book.

just one other thought about some of these answers, Isn’t the bible written by men so therefore impart partially fiction itself? And it is known that the Catholic church did leave out gospels at their decree. So whats to say there was not one written by at least one if not many women? Not saying I agree with or disagree with the theory behind the movie, just interjecting to the answers so far.

One last thought to my question, if there was no truth at all to the idea that Jesus took a wife and had a child/children, and that said wife wrote a gossiple then why did the churchs become so angry and up at arms when the mention of the movie was released? From my understanding this movie generated a greater interests in the Holy land so if this is the case why would it be bad for people to have another piece of "ficton" to question? I mean honestly we are always being told do not believe everything we read doesn't that include the bible too? I am just questioning as one person who reponded say why if we believe one work of men then why not another one??

Answer 1

I believe that there is a lot of compelling evidence for the theory behind the Da Vinci (everyone should notice that that's what you asked about, not the novel itself)

The Priory of Sion part is highly questionable, but the evidence for the bloodline of Christ is very plausible and at least as "provable" is the orthodox Christian account.

Answer 2

I believe it's possible, why would it not be possible? Jesus could very well have been "just" a man, although a very inspiring and spiritually powerful one, who married a woman and had children and some of us see the bible as fiction/non-fiction anyway with just enough truth to make the rest sound real just as The Da Vinci Code does.
Men translated the bible, they very well could have edited it and left out important information and added their own for their own purposes. It doesn't matter how many scholars or whomever did the translations in however many parts of the world. People still find ways to conspire to get what they want. You can't say what happened or didn't happen because none of us was there through it all to see for ourselves.
I'm staying neutral on this.

Answer 3

I could talk til I'm blue in the face with what I believe and get a million thumbs down, and that wouldn't help you. Why do you ask without at least telling us what you think before you posed this question to begin with? No offense and with all due respect, but you need to be a bit more descriptive or is your mind already made up? Blessings.. if you are indeed interested, get a book on the history of gnosis and study it. It will answer alot of your questions and it doesn't judge or make you believe anything until you are ready for it.

Answer 4

mommy: No I can't agree with the theory behind the Da Vinci Code since the author labels the historians mentioned therein as ignorant or deceptive. The historians take offence at this book because of this. Historical fact is not theory as the author would have you believe. The historian from Harvard to name one, doesn't like to be referred to as "a liar", as implied by the author. The author in turn, is not educated as an historian and was stating things in the book as facts to give the book some fashion appeal ! This in turn, gave rise to publicity and lots of $$$ . The real victims of this book are those, who believe it to be true.

Answer 5

The DVC is an interesting (though badly written) yarn that is purely fiction mixed with some actual history. It's plot is based on the further adventures of two fictional characters from the bible, Jesus and Mary.

There is no theory to agree with.

"Holy Blood, Holy Grail" assumed Jesus to be a real historical person, but there is precious little evidence that he actually existed, similar to other legendary heros like William Tell , Robinhood, and King Arthur.

Answer 6

I loved the idea of a religion that reveres and celebrates womanhood. The theory that Jesus was married to and/or had sexual relations with Mary Magadelene is an old one, but the novel did explore the importance of womanhood and why the church perceived it as a threat, a stance I feel Dan Brown disagrees with. He did examine how women in the past were once upon a time treated with importance. I wish ALL religions would take that message from the novel and stop treating women as inferior beings.

Answer 7

I didn't see anything in that whole story that denied God or said that Jesus was not a holy man, just that he was married and had children. I don't see anything wrong with that. There's a big difference between denying God and saying one religion had a conspiracy. It is labeled as fiction with some facts. Oh well, it is a great story that makes you think that maybe things aren't always what they seem.

Answer 8

It's interesting that these christians will believe one work of fiction but not another. The Da Vinci Code is as credible as the bible but easier to believe, it doesn't have worldwide floods and seas that separate when commanded or expect us to believe that we were all made by an invisible entity, just that a man had a daughter 2000 years ago

Answer 9

Yes, the book is fiction, but it is a collection of documents in history that can not be proven or denied. I have researched a lot of the points in the book and you will be surprise on what you find, example the Knights of Templar. But that does not change the fact that there is and God and Jesus Christ did exist.

Answer 10

Part of me likes the theory behind the Da Vinci code very much, but as I consider your question, I tend to think the theory is not right, and that Jesus died as described.

Two reasons: First, Jesus tried to awaken that which is within us all, our divine natures. His teachings are too beautiful and too powerful for the authority of the day not to kill him. Second, the accounts of his life and teachings contain similar levels of detail as the accounts of his death. Deliberate efforts to deceive would either over explain, or would paint a simple, glossy, idealistic picture.
