Why are Believers so Threatened by DaVinci Code?

Tweet

First, it is a fiction novel. Second, if Jesus did get married, that does not mean he wasn't Jesus and still the Son of God!!! In fact, given the laws of the land at the time, the fact that even history documents that Jesus was a real person and was put to death although he had done nothing wrong, it is quite likely he was married as that was one of the requirements of men at that time - unless they professed celibacy and joined certain organizations - which Jesus did not do. I am a Christian and this book does not threaten my beliefts at all. Getting married was not a sin, so why would it matter? Also, everyone needs to remember that while the Bible is the word of God, it has been translated many times and edited by rulers to support their kingdoms and views. Also, while the Bible does not say that Jesus ever got married, it also does not say that he did not. It does say that he cared greatly for Mary. And, again taking into consideration the culture at the time, the apostles would not have thought it important to write about him getting married!!
