What If There Was Truth to the Bloodline?

How is this not plagiarism?

Looks very intriguing. I hope we will get some form of a release here in Europe :)

I think this was PRECISELY what the Vatican was worried about.... that people or groups of people would buy into the fictitious story behind The DaVinci Code and start investigating for possible "clues" that would shed false light on the matter.

Dan Brown went on the record to assure everybody that his book was a work of FICTION.... yet there'll always be somebody out there willing to cling to the lie strongly enough to exacerbate it and stretch it until more people are suckered into believing that Jesus could have been married with children.

Why couldn't he have been married with children? Dan Brown can eat a bag of dicks, but the fact that no marriage has been documented doesn't mean there was no marriage.

Then again, it's damn near impossible to prove a negative, so...*shrug*.

Well, that's the whole point. It's never been documented ANYWHERE.... at a time when people and their affairs were oftentimes counted (for tax purposes and such) and well-documented. Hell, the whole Book of Numbers is one huge list of stats.

If there's no record of me being married anywhere, isn't it foolish to assume otherwise?

Jesus wasnt sent to the world to spread his seed. In those days with soo many powerful people trying to disprove Jesus and his teachings. A sexual relationship, a marriage, a child etc. would be impossible to coverup

What interests me is any opposition to someone asking questions, an opposition that isn't really warranted unless there is something to hide. That's what the trailer makes it out to be like, anyway. I will have to see the film for myself.

But I still don't see any reason why this couldn't be true. There might have been a lot of statistics written down, but usually about people who have a real home. Didn't Jesus move around a lot, and stay with other people or in camps? I mean, it's not like he was an ordinary citizen. The only real written knowledge we have about Jesus is from the Bible, not a Census. There is a LOT about the past that we do not know about, and that will only come from much more archaeology and anthropology, and other related sciences. Besides, history is written by those with the power. We will find the truth only from digging for it. Maybe this whole bloodline thing is not true, and maybe it is. It, at least, is a possibility. But if there is a question in the minds of many, why not try to answer it.

I'll explain the opposition, Robert R. Jesus is the Cornerstone of Christianity; a faith that millions keep. The Bible provides us with four separate accounts of His life, His ministry, His death, His resurrection.... and His purpose.

Out of four separate accounts, none of them mention a wife. By Christian accounts, Jesus sacrificed a degree of earthly happiness to remain as pure and sinless as a sacrificial lamb. Having a wife would have not only gone against what He was trying to accomplish, but would have negated all of the suffering He endured for the sake of our sins.

Imagine Jesus getting to Heaven only to have His Father tell Him, "Yeah, you did pretty well, Jesus.... but..... ooooh, looks like You took a wife when You were 25. I guess all that suffering You did was for nothing because now, Your sacrifice doesn't count."

You're certainly right to say that, by and large, history is written by the winners, but if the TRUTH can't be found with 100% certainty that it is, in fact, the truth, then it's better to leave things as-is and not to openly speculate.

The Bible speaks of a straying from the faith in the last days and, as innocuous as a Dan Brown movie about a fictitious wife of Jesus may seem, it just might lead the weaker of faith away from Jesus. Assuming that Jesus is, in fact, our only Way to Heaven (which I actually DO believe), uncovering perceived archaeological "proofs" just might lead people to hell.

There are already enough people in the world who hate Jesus and the Goodness that He stands for that it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility to make stuff up about Him that simply isn't true. I just don't see the need to open up an investigation more than 2,000 years post-mortem.
