Is it unrealistic to think that Jesus had a woman?

No, it's not unrealistic.  My understanding of Jewish law at that time was that it was expected if him to marry and have children.  Why it's considered such sacrilige for that to have happened is confusing to me. Just because the Bible didn't mention it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

I do believe that there is some truth to the Code and to the subjects covered in the book. I have reexamined the painting of the The Last Supper and I absolutely see the image of Mary Magdalene in the picture and I believe that Jesus could have been married and also fathered a child. You have to have an open mind and want to contemplate the possibilities that it could be true because I truly believe that it is very possible.

What do you mean by believe? I believe she lived, and I believe she was the mother of Jesus, and I believe that she was a virgin until Jesus was born. I think you might mean Catholic practice of praying to Mary and so on. That I do not believe - not at all, as the Bible says nothing about praying to Mary. I don't pray to anyone but God the Father, but I do so in the name of Jesus - as the Bible says.\n\n\nThe Bible further states that Jesus had siblings, and says that Mary did not know her husband UNTIL Jesus was born (this last is found in Matthew, and the siblings part is in Mark 3:31). These half siblings would have been direct descendents of Mary, not of Jesus. There is nothing wrong with there being descendents related to Jesus... I think people think that if others were related to him, it would mean they were born with part of the Holy Spirit, since Jesus was conceived of the Spirit - but that's not true. The siblings were born of two humans and were all human. The Holy Spirit had nothing to do with their conceptions.

i'm not Catholic, but yes at that time, the people whose life stories were told were sexist, because that was the time period they were in, but the Bible itself is not sexist, the Bible is perfect, not the people in it. Jesus honestly wasn't interested in a wife, he was here to spread the Good News and he knew he would be leaving and wouldn't leave a wife behind. The Bible has everything that is true in it. They also mentioned women multiple times in hte Bible, even have entire books of the Bible for them only. Ruth, Esther, get hte point there are lots of women in the Bible they wouldn't just paint over the facts of Jesus's life with whatever parts pleased them to tell. The apostles, those who were the dearest of friends with Jesus, wrote the Gospel's. They would not do that to their friend if such a relationship existed. Hence forth: THEY WERE NEVER ROMANTICALLY INVOLVED. Their relationship was of teacher to student, and brother to sister, nothing more. Ayshibaba, did you form this idea from the Davinci Code???

I'm torn in what to believe but it really does make a lot sense. If Jesus did have a child, just think, someone alive today could be a direct decendent of Christ Himself. Now that would be an honor!

All well and fine but I think you may be getting your Marys mixed up.  I believe that there may be two separate Marys.  Mary Magdalene: the forgiven prostitute and Mary the sister of Martha and Lazarus of whom Jesus was a close friend. Cross reference various commentaries and see if this may be correct.

I believe Christ was truly God and truly man, so yes it is very possible that he had a carnal relationship. It does not bother me if it is proved he had a wife.

That a very good question. God did indeed pick her to have his only son Jesus, but the bible also states that we are to love Jesus with all our heart, souls and mind. Yes she was a important person but so was his diciples and Apostals, but we are suppose to only pray to Jesus Christ which is God and the Holy Ghost.

briefly it says that \n-Jesus is a prophet\n-Christian practise are adopted by paganism\n-Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene\n-The Church corrupted her image as well as the image of all women in power, even midwives\n-The Church is corrupted and has been hiding the truth for political gain\n-Jesus had a child, a girl named Sarah that decsendents still live today\n\nAll the above was kept by the Priory of Sion lead once by Leo Davinci and he kept these secrets in codes on his paintings.\n\nMuslims belief all except that he was married and had a child. Christians think it a load of crap.

No.  Jesus was very sexist.\n\nThere were no Catholics in Jesus' time.  How can someone criticize Catholics for being sexist before they even existed.

there could be a huge possibility that the person beside jesus is mary magdalene and not an apostle (i think its peter) no one may ever know. it all depends on ones belief or research. \n\nsome people do believe that the cup of christ is mary magdalene and as the book "the da vinci code" explains to us that jesus may have had an offspring with mary magdalene, and that she started the merovingian blood line. \n\nsome people may say this as blasphemy or in-accurate but remember that there is still no REAL proof that jesus ever exsisted, we all base it on the bible and other written records but found not even one real evidence that he ever lived. so who could say that the person beside him is not a woman..

The book itself is definitely fiction.  Some of the theories posed are palusible.  The Catholic church claims that Jesus wouldn't have been divine if he was married, yet Christ was a rabbi (or considered such by the masses).  To my understanding of Jewish beliefs at that time, rabbis or any teachers of faith would have needed to be married to have any credibility.  Simply put, the Jews probably wouldn't have listened if he was single.\n\nWhen it comes down to it though, there's no scriptual reference to a wife of Christ, so it's not important to salvation and it's not important to us in the larger scheme of things.

No.\nShe was blessed among women but not one to be worshiped.

i think that it was written in times where women did not have any rights and in a societal setting that did not value a woman's opinion.  St. Paul was notorious for his views on women, which in many respects, seem to contradict how Jesus regarded women...Jesus elevated women...in one respect, Jesus was the greatest feminist ever...so, to answer your question, it was written by a man, but the central message was inspired by the Holy Spirit...

You're absolutely right. Jesus never was married. I have never seen that in the Bible, or heard that from any preacher. The Bible is was, is, and will always be the Truth.

Dan Brown (puh) suggests that Jesus was completely human born of a father & mother and was married to the Magdalene and they had kids. WOW! How incredibly difficult to believe this fantastic story! Gnostics been saying this since the son of man was teaching them (and making love to MM).\n\ngo jesus & mary & uncle judas
