wouldn't he be thrown in a nut house.  I mean really, how many "crazy" people have claim to be Jesus in 2000 years?  and with all the special effects and people's inability to trust, yes, even you christians, would he stand a chance?!

Not a chance! He'd be locked away in some padded room with no windows :)

I think anything is possible.  I mean, if we are to believe it was God's plan for immaculate cnception in the birth of Christ (which I am sure most of the ppl who answered on here, that DONT think this story could happen, believe it).  Why couldn't he also allow for a situation like this?  Do I believe it?  No.  But I don't believe in immacualte conception, either.  And just because MYTH BUSTER's does a story on it, doesn't make them the truth.  They were disputing a story and a concept.  But never did they actually attempt this experiment as it is described to see if it would work.

He got nailed to a cross the first time. He is never coming back. Would you? The other reason he is never coming back is that he is not real.

Well I think that yes, it's getting people interested in who Jesus really was. People who already have Faith in Him wont be moved by a book or movie.

The Da Vinci Corrode - An Opinion Piece by Schneb\n\nI am amazed at how gullible people are at believing the so-called "facts" that this book brings up. Out of thin air! 80 gospels written!? And Constantine only chose 4, then corrupted them? First, including all the false gnostic gospels, there was hardly a quarter of that amount. Second, Constantine had nothing to do with the Canon of scripture.\n\nDon Brown states through the main character that it was the council of Nicea that voted to say that Jesus was God--and that it was a "close vote". Yeah, a close vote of 316 to 2. Wow, how close. Funny, though, a few months ago they discovered in Megiddo, the oldest Christian church dating back to the 2nd century. 100 years before the council of Nicea did their "close vote", we see a mosaic dedication that reads, "dedicated to the God Jesus Christ". This belief was confirmed by the 2nd century writings of Ignatius, Polycarp, Justin Martyr, Irenius and Clement of Alexandria (again, 100 years before Nicea).\n\nAnd then he has the gall to say there were true gospels in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Man, this guy is delusional. There is not ONE mention of Jesus in ANY of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Yet people are eating this nonsense up.\n\nMary was Jesus' mother, and He told John, while on the cross, to take her into his home and take care of her. Mary Magdalene was there as well. If they were married, Jesus would have provided for her as well. Do you think after the resurrection that Jesus would have known that Mary M. was pregnant with their child? Yet, when He spoke to her, she called Him "teacher", not "husband", and neither spoke of activity in the womb. A little common sense is needed here.\n\nIf you don't want to believe, then say so. But don't base it on ignorant revisionist history like the Da Vinci Code. Looks like the world is all ready for the coming deception...\n\n2 Thessalonians 2:11-12\nFor this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

I understand your confusion, and to a ceratin extent, I agree with you.\n\nI read the book, and I plan to see the movie (as soon as the hype dies down).  I think that the reason this book is taken so seriously is for two reasons:\n\n1.  Dan Brown begins the book by stating that all of the groups, artwork, etc. are completely true.  People assume that if these things are true and accurate, then the whole book must be as well.\n\n2.  The whole premise, that Jesus was married and that the "holy grail" isn't a cup but is in fact the holy bloodline of Jesus, isn't a new theory and is one that some people have argued for many years.  Plus, it is plausible!  I'm not saying that it is likely, but it is possible.\n\nWhat I don't understand is why this film has to change poeple's faith.  Even if it was discovered with 100% certainty that Jesus was married, that doesn't change my faith in Christianity at all!  (It makes me wonder about the people who made the decision to cover it all up, but it doesn't change my faith in God.)  In fact, learning that Jesus was married might actually make me identify with Him more than I currently do.\n\nI wish that people would think about that more seriously... what has REALLY changed?

Put it out. Christians already know the truth and know that in the end times, these types of things will be thrown at them. Hollywood tries any way it can to destroy Chrisianity because they are a bunch of Godless idiots. Whomever made the film will have to bow one day and explain their actions.

To me, this is a total slap in the face to any and all that DO believe!  First off, it says in the Bible that "God will not be mocked," and that's exactly what this show does.  While Jesus is friendly and compassionate...he is, after all, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, which would give him every right to be judgmental.

I am very surprised that this had no replies before me!\nI probably am not the best person to answer as Im not particularly religious.  I was brought up attending church but to me Jesus is pretty much just a fictional character in a very old book ( that probably wasnt translated very accurately anyway!)...;

Well all this bloodline business is pure speculation, however that Jesus was married to the Magdalene is more than speculation since we have evidence in the writings of the earliest christians. You are right to say the christians never thought Jesus was god and such ideas crept into christianity centuries later. Once the church voted on the divinity of Jesus, they picked & chose the writings which suited them (and it's interesting that even with all the picking & choosing the so-called NT still does not declare that Jesus is god). DC is simply stirring up the old issue again and people are sick & tired of churches dictating what god is. And no, the churches do not like people to go sniffing into the past.

Technically, it would make Him less divine because the descendants aren't divine.  That would hint at the idea that Jesus was, in fact, just a normal man.

I think "Jesus" if he was a real man..and if he was as they say he was..he would have died for nothing....because there is no one on this earth..who is walking the path they say they are walking which is the path of their "Jesus" and i feel sad for him..all they do is judge and degrade other people and i think if he is watching he cries for the life he wasted on them...

Would that be classified as another mystery of Christ? I believe even those who do not know of Jesus must feel his presents withnin creation. He is all in all. Yes interesting.

That's a hard one 'cause the guy who shot the video that's been seen the world over died, and his son let out the truth. It was fake, and just supposed to be a fun joke that went a little crazy, and he didn't wanna spoil everyone's enthusiasm. But there's still all the centuries of folktales that came way before that old guy. I think it's possible, but highly improbable. I tell you what though, if I'm in the woods and hear something I don't recognize with a horrendous smell accompanying it, I'm leaving the area.

""Question for those who say `Jesus never existed', or `he is a myth'...? Where did the 100's of Christians in Rome come from (around 64 AD) that were tortured and killed by Nero?""\n\nFirst, plenty of people died for their faith, even if you think their faith was nonsense. Sincerity and willingness to die for what one believes in, does not mean that what one believes in is True.\n\nSecond, there are plenty of people who lived over the last 3,000+ years who definitely existed, but whose faith centered around myth, unless, of course, you think that Zeus and Jupiter, Hercules and Dionysus, among many other mythological gods, and those who followed them, were all real???

i do indulge, i agree it takes consideration, there are so many facts that almost really support the idea he could have been married and with a child. but i think the reason we dont know is deeper then that. why do we know so so much about after he walks out of the desert and so little of before he went in?\n\nmy answer to both question yours and mine is that the 40 days in the desert seperate him from his humanity. in early christian times people believed in spirit gods and goddesses and this church came along and said to believe in one man. well to make it more credible maybe they hid his 18 years of living like a man.

It has been said that Jesus could OMGWTFBBQPWN anyone except the Silver Surfer.  Oh, and apparently, he couldn't PWN the Jews.
