Let me elaborate, do you believe that such ideas that Mary Magdalin and Jesus had a child, that the holy grail is that child? Many churches are against this idea, but I wonder, is it really that they are against it because it couldnt be true or is it because they would hate for the world to believe that Jesus was a man, a holy man, but a man none the less. If you believe that the church is hiding this for a reason, tell us why. By us, I mean all of the readers of this question. Thank you for your participation.

An opinion without proof isn't very persuasive.

I don't believe there is much, if any proof of a marriage between Jesus and anyone.

I don't think that Leonardo DiVinci ever wrote or painted about it, despite what the fiction book said - good story, but still fiction.

There are some other writings that indicate that this might be the case, so if there surfaces enough evidence that Jesus existed it may be that he married and had a one or more children.

As far as faith is concerned, the bible doesn't say one way or the other, so the safest assumption is that Jesus being married or not is not important to the belief system.

Edit:
Dan Brown wrote a fiction book, he did not attack Christianity by his book. Anyone that places any importance on whether Christ was married or not is arguing about "angels dancing on a pin head".

For reference "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" is a silly book because it makes unproved assertions and then builds it's cause on those assertions. I would draw the similarity to Christain belief but I'll let you do that on your own.

Yes , absolutely , positevely , completely true . My reason : too many clues leading to the same thing . Read the Da Vinci Code or Holy Blood and Holy Grail. Their both based on real fact. Analise as I did paintings ( and I could say I made kind of a lot too many research in this domain ) like The Last Supper or Mona Lisa , or Madonna on Rocks , or many others.
For me , Jesus undoubtely was the most holy man , the , but not the kind of holy as the church implies .
Don`t get me wrong : their is a GOD , he has a son , there is a Holy Spirit , you should go to church .
But there are a lot of things you should research about this

I just finished reading a great and very enlightening book called "Bloodline of the Holy Grail". Basically, it says that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene, and there's scriptural evidence to back it up. It also says they had three children, Tamar, James and Jesus.
The church cherry picked what it liked for the story, based primarily on the apostle Paul's teachings, which were overblown. (Claiming Jesus performed miracles that never happened, and his complete hatred of not only MM, but all women.)
This book goes on to show how the bible was indeed badly translated, (angels aren't what people think they are) and much of it's political significance was missed by the average reader. The early church certainly did leave things out of the bible as we know it today.

Let me clear up a couple of technicalities; Leonardo DaVinci did not come up with the DaVinci code. Dan Brown did. This is just another conspiracy theory like the moon landing hoax, or that Bush was behind 9/11.

Having said that, even if DaVinci had come up with the theory, he lived hundreds of years later, so how would he know, anyway?

The History Channel did a special on this subject, and concluded that Dan Brown's book had no historical basis what-so-ever; it was pure fantasy. Considering how many skeptics have been attacking the church for so many years, why hasn't anyone found any evidence of this before?

But even Dan Brown admitted from the start that his book was fiction, so why do people treat it as fact?

Yes. And Harry Potter is real and The Wizard of Oz is a real person and there are really Tin Woodsmen and talking Scarecrows and Cowardly Lions....

Don't be ridiculous. It's a book of fiction....and Leonardo DaVinci had nothing to do with it. Fantasy made up (stolen) by Dan Brown from an equally silly novel called "Holy Blood, Holy Grail".

I personally, I am a Mormon by the way, believe that if Christ was not married while on the earth, He will be at some point. We believe that marriage is a law of God and that a man and woman must be eternally married (it's call the new & everlasting covenant of marriage) to be eligible to enter into the Celestial Kingdom...and since I believe Jesus came to fulfill all law, He must be married at some time.
I doubt He had any children. I just don't think He would have, look at the way He was treated, can you imagine how His child(ren) would have been treated?? I just can't see that happening..but who knows.
Also, I don't understand why that would make Him any less of a god? Isn't it truly divine to create another human being??
He was a man, part man part god.
That's just my opinion.

Why not. Why couldn't Jesus have a family of his own since families are so important. There some aspects of the bible that do hint of him being married. For example, when Jesus turned the water into wine, it was at a wedding. And it was Mary, mother of Jesus that came to hm worried that there wasn't enough wine. Now why would Mary be worried about this if she wasn't the mother of the bride or groom? Like in the "diVinci Code" who knows what scripture that was not included in the bible talks about this.

Personally, if he was married that won't not destroy my belief; but only confirm it. however, knowing this is not essential to getting to heaven.

If Jesus could really perform these miracles like god than he wouldn't need an actual bloodline anyway. Finding what some claim to be a burial chamber of Christs family doesn't make it so either. I'm really not convinced of anything except for my own confusion about religion and it's history. It's all suspicious.

"Jesus was a man, a holy man, but a man none the less." Actually, He was more than a man. He was also fully God. He wasn't just a holy man, he was the God-man. No I don't think He and Mary Magdalene had a child. Though He was tempted like a man, He had the strength to resist all temptation because He was God too.
