No, it's a fictional novel.

The theory that Jesus had relations with Mary Magedaline (Spelling?) has gone back for hundreds of years. It was Jesus who said that we are none without sin. He was in human form on Earth. So is it so impossible that he may have had human desires? Does that make him any less of a Savior? I am a Christian, but have little faith in the organized churches of man. There is so much about this world that we do not know. I agree that there were some fictional events and theories within the book. But is that to say that all of it is without fact. I believe that would be impossible to answer from our position. Is time travel possible? Not now (that we know of). But who is to say that fifty or a hundred years from now that it won't be possible. People are too quick to state "NO" as a definitive answer. Remember it was less than 500 years ago that the mass majority of the population believed that the Earth was flat. Less than 150 years ago, flight for man was nothing more than the delusional rantings of a genuis named Leonardo Da Vinci. But look up at the sky now. Of course, the organized, people-controlling churches are going to say that it is a lie. Because it does not support their own teachings. Is it really a sin to have relations with a person although you are not married? Most people that follow the teachings of the organized churches will say "yes". Now my question is: What verse do they talk about Adam and Eve getting married in a church or in front of a justice of peace? Did they not have children? Is it really impossible beyond all circumstances that the Da Vinci Code contains more truth than fiction? I don't know the answer. I do know that few hold enough wisdom to actually answer the question.

Da Vinci code is fiction. It is mixed with a lot of false opinions.
The Bible is true in the historical sense. Archaelogy has proven the Bible true. The internal consistency of the Bible (within the 66 books in it) shows that there is a God, and His name is Jesus. It is not fiction. The Bible places really existed and Jesus is mentioned by the historian Josephus. Miracles authenticate the Bible message,and there are modern day healings in the Christian circle to show that there exists a God who cares.

The story line is fictional, but the codes in Da-vinci's paintings real.
If you use your intellect you'll see that the codes do make a lot of sense. Of corse Christians will say it's all a lie...

Well, Dan Brown took facts from the Bible and took it a bit farther with an educated theory for the sake of entertainment. Genius but ultimately wrong in some aspects. Jesus did his father's will and even died on the cross to prove it. Why would he then 'sin' in having relations with Mary? If they were married and it wasn't a sin, what would be the point of that, if Jesus knew who he was and what was going to happen to him?

you know the author didn't invent the theory of jesus having a wife or a conspiracy to cover it...it's been around for at least 20 yrs i think, one thing i can't have respect for is for people no matter their religion to assume that the book was attacking theirs when they themselves have never read it- i know many who are like that and my question is how in the hell do you ever expect to combat an argument effectivly without research or even knowing where the opinion is comming from???
spoiler alert:
if any of "those people" had read the book this wouldn't be such a big deal-it was fictional! it had an albino guy running around killing people and a crippled old man somehow managing to orchestrate the entire thing?! it was not attacking any religion believe me...

No. It is fiction. He has declared that it is fiction. It is not intended to be real.
The ideas in it are based on some very poorly argued conspiracy theories that have been around for years. there is no
substantial proof for any of it.

Fiction and a bit of a knock-off of Foucault's Pendulum, IMO.

No it is pure BS. This is not from a Christian either. The book makes no sense at all.

I loved that book. I just read it from a fictional stand point.
