Relating to the Da Vinci Code...

Is there actual evidence to support the claim that Jesus married Mary Magdelene, or any of the other claims? Although this book is fictional, I can't help but think some of it has some truth.

no , there isn't. the supposed blood line was found to be falsified and the creator admitted, under oath to a french court, the it is fake.

No there is no evidence, but there is also no evidence to say he DIDN'T either. Some people will say "it is not in the bible" but neither is anthing that happened between the years of 13-to around 30 did he not do anything in those years?

There is all sorts of interesting stuff in the dead sea scrolls and other ancient documents they are finding/have found in the last hundred years. They are still translating them and are by no means complete.

Is there any proof of anything that happened in the book/movie that would be interesting, whether it's for or against religion?

Fallacy of Negative Proof - "absence of evidence is evidence of absence"


also, the age absence is explained if you consider the bible to be a work of fiction. living your life how its prescribed in the bible is like following the story or moby dick or brave new world or heart of darkness. it's just asanine to take to heart a work of fiction.

Wikipedia has the best write up of the facts behind the Priory of Sion (claimed as Factual by Dan Brown) and the Keepers of the Bloodline of Christ.

I'll take a look. Thanks.

What other claims? The book, like others before it, claimed that Jesus acted like humans usually act. It is possible that he never had sex, but it is unlikely. And really, who cares?

WTF are you talking about? I think your talking about the Priory of Scion, which some guy just made up and then yes, admitted that he made the whole thing up.

There was some research done in tieing together the Merovingian line to Jesus' which has been so for found to be false, but not beyond a shadow of a doubt. Only with what tools they had to work with, comparing DNA to something Jesus' bloodline supposedly had, and even people that supposedly descended from him - and then comparing it to DNA of a Merovingian corpse.

However, none of this says that Jesus didn't marry Mary Magdeline. And yes there is evidence, if you consider the Dead Sea Scrolls to be credible. There is lots of other evidence out there too. For me, I don't necessarily know or really care that he married Mary, only that Jesus was most likely married (I'd say 90%) and if he was married the chances that they had a child together also go way up

Everyone knows all of that is false. However, just because such an underground org doesn't exist, means basically nothing when considering if Jesus had a wife, or if he then had kids. WTF cares about the Priory of Scion? That wasn't the OPs question and is mostly irrelevant in determining the answers to the OP's question

ok so i'll accept your argument of "There was some research done in tieing together the Merovingian line to Jesus' which has been so for found to be false, but not beyond a shadow of a doubt." because now you're qualifying your rationale. you admit it's false but assert your POV that its not a "shadow of a doubt." there is no need to argue irrational beliefs because no one wins.

about the dead see scrolls.....have you physically seen them? we make inferences about them but they dont say explicitlly "jesus kissed mary on the lips" they are holier than jesus....physically. they are missing words and the words that ARE there are "jesus .........kissed her..........the lips" so we assume they're talking about mary and in a sexual way when it could be benign and just a friendly kiss. once again you assume that he HAS to be married and have a kid because you want it to be so. that's you call.

same with the Gnostic Gospels

 

[Carazariah]

The central premise of the book is that the Priory of Sion has been secretly holding onto evidence of such a fact.

So the true fact that not only is the orgainization fraudulent but it was a purported hoax by a known conman to support a bogus claim to the French throne says a lot about Dan Brown's Research for this fictional narrative.

Since there isn't any actual facts or evidence supporting this claim, it would seem prudent to trust the closest historical narratives to the Life of Christ which are the 4 Gospels.

And the original poster thanked me for the link, so I don't see how it was irrelevant to the question.
