The Gospel of John was written by a follower of that largest religion, so I don't think you're going to find the hard, unbiased evidence you're looking for there.\n\nIn fact, if you come right down to it, we cannot confirm or deny that Jesus said any of the things attributed to him.\n\nDoes that matter?  No.  What matters is that people BELIEVE he is the Son of God who died, rose, and ascended into heaven.  A philosophy professor of mine always argued that faith and reason do not stand in opposition to one another, nor must they agree.  Rather, they stand apart as coequals, as equally valid ways to finding truth.  He convinced me.

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..

1) The love of Jesus' life was mankind, whom He came and died for, not Mary Magdalene.\n2) Mary Magdalene is never called a prostitute in the Bible. The Roman Catholic Church removed this label from her in the 6th century.

BASIC SYNOPSIS OF THE DA VINCI CODE:\n\nThe Da Vinci Code directly challenges many essential Christian beliefs, claiming the Bible is unreliable; the resurrection of Jesus is mere mythology; Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene and they had a child; descendants of Jesus are still alive today; and a secret society guards this “truth” about Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and their descendants.\n\nClaims of this magnitude certainly need solid evidence to support them, something not found in The Da Vinci Code.  As a matter of fact, historical evidence serves to refute these claims.  For example, Dr. Bart Ehrman at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill states, “Not a single one of our ancient sources indicates that Jesus was married, let alone married to Mary Magdalene.”\n\nDespite the fact that The Da Vinci Code belongs squarely in the category of fiction, there is a very real danger that with millions of people either reading the book or viewing the movie, many will accept the story’s theories about Jesus as truth.  Skeptics are already using these conspiracy theories to support their arguments that the Christian faith is founded on mere myth.

I saw the same thing and am trying to find that gospel and the gospel of Mary and to tell you the truth all of the gospels they were talking about. I'm not so sure that it is real or fake but the bible says test all things.... also says seek wisdom, not just biblical wisdom. Kudos from me, your on the right track...however, I seriously doubt the authenticity of the book. Googling it doesn't help much!

john chapetr 12:1-3? it just says mary. some take that to mean mary magdalene.\nyou must not assume mary magdalene was a whore. the bible doesn't say that.

The fact that the early Catholic church made MM out to be a prostitute (even though the Christian bible does not say this anywhere), is evidence to support that they had something against her. This tradition goes back to saint Peter who, according to the [banned] gnostic scriptures indicate that he was against "the woman". Now just look at the mindset of those Roman Catholics who burned gnostics and their writings, and imagine that these are the ones who chose the books for the bible. Do you think they were honest? No, the Magdalene was not a whore, not even demon-possessed, she was the son of man's consort.

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.

I definately recommend you reading the Nag Hammadi Library.  It will give you a different persective on Jesus and the people surrounding him.  I think the idea is probable as you make a good point that her Gospel was left out. (as was so many others)  Here are some links that might interest you.

There is no question whatsoever the "gospels" were tampered with.\n\nSir Isaac Newton (of falling apple fame), one of the most brilliant men in history, rejected the Trinity (Jesus is God) after studying the bible and the "gospels."\n\nIsaac Newton was a (Unitarian) Christian and a scientist. He studied religion far more than science.\n\n\nSee link below:

That's something that interests and intrigues me too. Unfortunately didn't have enough time and patience to go through it.\nBut, as you said that its something you would like to research yourself I hope maybe links listed bellow in the Source could help you to start from somewhere.\nOne more thing, I have also heard that the headboard that was placed above Jesus on the cross was recently examined by forensic scientists, and that the writing on it has been studied by historians and cryptologists. So, maybe you can do some search regarding it.\n\nAs well there is a book (you can find it on amazon.ca) "The Case for Christ - A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus", written by Lee Strobel. I didn't reed it but the review about it sounds interesting to me, and maybe from it you can find some additional information (source) where you can start or continue deeper digging for some more relevant answers.\n\nHowever, hoping that I helped you even just a bit, I wish you good luck in this exciting research!

I dont believe it. The King James Bible is the true Word of God and Dan Brown ought to be ashamed of himself for even thinking about contradicting it. If you have any questions about Jesus just read the Bible. The real truth, the only 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

Like the Bible, the Da Vinci Code is both truth and fiction.  Da Vinci did indeed know the truth about the life of Jesus, being omitted from the Bible.  Jesus was not a virgin, not a celebate man, and had the same desires as a normal man, and indeed married a young woman in her early teens, a situation so common as to be the norm in the dulture and times.  He had children, almost half a dozen, primarily girls.  He was a conscientious and caring husband.  Was his wife, Mary Magdalene ever present during his life and at the foot of his cross during his death, along with his mother? yes.  Did Jesus die on the cross? Yes. Wife and children did escape the area fearing reprisals. His blood line, mere DNA not at all related to his spiritual nature, is irrelevant.  They disbursed, married and had children, and were simply genetic code, just human, not bearing his depth of spirit.

Does the Bible ever mention any offspring of Jesus'?  You'd think that if the writers of the Bible were going to mention such detail as the lineage of all of the major kings, they'd mention something that important.  My guess would be no, he didn't have kids, and no, he wasn't gay, and no, he didn't marry Mary Magdalene, and no to all the other ridiculous rumors people make up because they just don't want to believe the truth.  Funny how people will believe a lie any day over the truth.

I have not had the opportunity to read the book or see the movie. My son is reading the book and telling me about it. We are both Christians. We believe it is possible that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene. The Church, in all its "wisdom," removed many books from the Bible many centuries ago. I think it's a tragedy that they felt they had to do our thinking for us. I am looking forward to reading the book. I believe we are all intelligent enough to decide for ourselves what we believe. The Da Vinci Code is a work of fiction. I'll probably wait to see the movie when it comes out on DVD.
