Okay so now that the movie is coming out, I have read the book, and intend to see the movie. In our sunday school class last sunday it came up what we thought of the book and what we thought about mary magdalene being the wife of Jesus. To me the book is a great work of fiction and who knows if there is a holy grail or what it is. There has been debate that the holy grail is a cup or a child that Jesus and mary magdalene had together. Now that the movie is coming out members of opus dei ( a religious group aphiliated with Catholicism) are speaking out and the history chanel is even tracking people crazy enough to go on a wild goose chase to see if the Da Vinci Code even exist. What are every one elses thoughts on this? No where in the bible does it say Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married or much less had a child together.

Well, I haven't read the book, but from what I've heard the ideas of it are generally against christianity, so I don't thing it holds much truth when it comes to the christian religion, Jesus and God.

Like I said its a great piece of fiction. Including the movie and I can see why people would boycott the movie, it indeed is different from the book but it does go against what christians believe all together.

I don't see why people would fear this movie could shake Christianity. Anyone who knows Christ will see this is all to bazar to believe. Non-Christians will believe what ever they want to believe untill they learn the facts. If anything this story is a good excuse to talk about our faith and say "you know it could not have happened like that because..." Also we can get a chance to learn more about our faith, like why certain gospels left out of the bible. Thats the way I see it anyways.

Ha! I just saw a documentary about this on Sci Fi. It ripped every part of the book to pieces, proving everything to be either half-truths or lies. It seems Dan Brown really made some people upset.

I think it wouldn't be that bad except for the fact that most people are thinking of it as based on a true story. Everything in it wasn't true. Yet tons of people watch it and believe everything in it. If there was a huge part in the credits that said something about how nothing was based on a true story then I think it would have been better.
And how the author wrote the book he made it so people would believe it. If he had just written it as fiction and everyone thought of it as fiction I don't think the issues would still be here.

By just being a book the spouts BLUNT LIES, I haven't wasted my time reading, or watching it. That and I rather stay loyal and not view something against my beliefs. I don't know how viewers who are Christian can stand watching something that is against your faith.
It's like watching a satanic video and saying 'wow, the plot was good, the acting was good, the story was good, too bad they insulted Christianity and showed things against my faith'. confused
That's my view. Now please explain why you'd watch it if many Churches opposed the viewing of the stuff. It seems a lot more logical to follow the advice and guidance of people who are close to God. That and supporting the whole thing by paying for it. Also it seems like one of those 'dangerous things' many members talked about. Some things, like those boards, and tarot cards, and fortune telling warping minds.
Lets face it. A lot of hearts are weak. Talk over the fact that many 'Christians' adore the book, and in their subconscious mind start wondering about a poison placed by the book.
So, no, I don't support Dan Brown and his lies, no matter how well they're written.

I get into this debate with my stepmother often. She beleives that he could infact be married, in fact in those times a person his age being unmaried would have been shunned However I don't really see the point. This is my question-
Why do they care?
I don't beleive that he was married, but if he had been what would it matter. It is not as if he would have changed his message because he wanted to marry, or that he is any lesser if he had.
(I know I am jumping around sorry!)
Either way I don't think that he would have married because I think he had know for a long time that he was going to have to depart from this world. It would have been selfish, in a sence for him to marry. I just don't see that in him.

I've never read the book or even seen the movie, but after hearing about it said at a church lesson, I've always hated it and don't really want to see or hear the lies myself gonk . To me, it would be like I'm charging into and getting caught in the "web of lies" instead of just dodging it.
I completely agree with everyone on this thread, but just to add my two cents and not to bash anyone, but I think IF Jesus had been married and it had become a well known fact, then to me, it would be no big surprise that a new religion would suddenly pop up and start worshipping Jesus's wife as "The Holy Wife" or however they would say it rolleyes .
Anyways, I don't believe the Davinci Code to be true at all, otherwise these concepts would've been mentioned in the Bible with is God's inspired word, which is in fact, the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and God would never really keep anything from us because He loves us and had always wanted us to know His entire truth.
I mentioned this in the other thread, but when Jesus was tempted in the desert, Satan was so devious enough to use Old Testament scripture against Him, so it's no big surprise that today he would spread lies about His life through our now present-day materials such as TV and the media.
So, I think it's basically another way of Satan venting and attacking Jesus by spreading lies to His followers and perhaps even disrupting faith because of it. Either that, or God is allowing Satan to use these lies to test our faith in Him and give us the chance to tell the truth to those that believe in these lies or think that it's a possibility.

I believe that it's just a book of lies. The worst part about it is that people are actually believing it! Now that I can not stand for. Anyways, on TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network), they explained every single false information with evidence from the Bible. It's so ridiculous to just write a book about lies. stressed

Believing the bible as truth is about faith. You are trusting that for how long it as been around and how you feel because of what it says and what you believe from it, that it has to be truth. The Da Vinci Code is something that was written recently and isn't nearly as credible as the bible. The bible has accounts written by multiple witnesses and has been around long before we have. The Da Vinci Code is written by one man, inspired by a few ancient texts that didn't fit in the bible because they didn't quite reflect the same God of the bible, and were written by those that were not primary sources of information.

DaVinci Code= complete and total bullcrap.
This book mixes in just enough truth in with the lies that it tricks the masses that have an average of 4 Bibles at home, but never pick them up. I wouldn't wipe my butt with that book, or I would. Whichever's more insulting. blaugh
