I mean he should not be killable because he is without sin. Adam died after sinning.
Unless the idea that he took man's sin on his shoulders meant he too became a sinner.

You are getting into whether the ransom makes sense, which is a topic I try to keep away from for fear of offending 1 billion Christians.

Vitty,
Yes, Judas is in the painting. He's the one with the bag in his hands (the artist's rendition that Judas is the one who will betray Christ even before it happens). Read Matt. 26:20-23 It indicates that 12 were reclining at the table with Jesus. That's 13 people. Moreover, "...he that shall dip his hand with me in the dish the same shall betray me..."

I did not realize I was raging. I was just saying I don't believe it is that important if Jesus was married or not. It won't change the faith of most believers, but maybe I'm wrong on that. I don't think the Catholic church or any other will crumble if he was married.
I honestly did not know who Dan Brown is, as I have not nor do I have any plans on reading the book by him or seeing the Tom Hanks movie. Not for any other reason than I just don't want to. I may chose differantly in the future ut who knows. I seened to upset you whit what I said so I am sorry.
Blues Brother-

Like the Roman Catholic church say, Jesus could not have a blood line because sex is a sin. What a bunch of morons. If God actually came down here to feel all that we feel, and live as a man in order to relate to how it is to be human, then it would only make sense that he found out how it was to be married to a woman. And the bible mentions 3 main women in His life, his mother, his aunt, and Mary M. If Mary was just a prostitue who was saved why mention her only, and not the hundred other women who were saved?
These people who are throwing a fit are only doing so because they know if people question the doctrines they came up with, they may loose power, and wealth.
I would prefere a God who was married over one who wasn't.

If Mary was just a prostitute who was saved
Where in scripture does it say she was a prostitute?

Let's give Opus Dei the opportunity to give their side of the story
They did get this opportunity. There was a documentary not that long ago where ex members and current members and leaders spoke about what Opus Dei is. It also included the history of how and when it started.
There are not all that many members of Opus Dei and although as you like to say - they work and live in the world - so do JW's and they are a sect or a cult - whichever you choose to call it. They also cut off people from their families in order to 'serve'. They also operate huge living residences where it is the job of women to lovingly prepare meals and keep house. Their mission is to bring others into the fold. Members hand over large portions of their pay checks to the organization. They do bible study every day and there are different levels of study up to that of the celibate. They are told what to read, follow their own interpretation of the bible and so on and so on and the pledge to the organization.
The Da Vinci depiction was dramatized to further the story..but Opus Dei was not entirely misrepresented. sammieswife.

Where in scripture does it say she was a prostitute?
Apparently that was changed in the 1960's by the Catholic Church. Call it a 'previous error' in translation or call it 'politics and religious' as governor, but either way, it was in the best interest of the Church to further their own cause by eliminating the stature of Mary Magdalene. To portray her as a prostitute was to bring her to the lowest form thereby raising up all of the male apostles. I believe that politics and religion have danced arm in arm forever in changing the face of the world so I have to question how far fetched it really is to believe that the bible collection of stories was decided upon in counsel and advancement was secured by law until the book became so traditionally ingrained that there was never a thought given to it's political origins. sammieswife.
