Dan brown's DaVinci Code based on a Fraud

I did see this. Over a dozen books have been written pointing out this fraud about the Priory of Scion and many other errors in his book.

Here's the catch: the front page of Brown's book says that all descriptions of "artwork, architecture, documents and secret rituals" are accurate. The book presents what are allegedly true events of history in a fictional setting.

I still don't understand how Christians like a book that attacks the Bible, attacks and denies the deity of Christ, states that sexual rituals took place as part of legitimate Judaism, and exalts goddess worship.

 

Anyone notice that the Word of God is free of charge? Literary sideshows take in more million$ than the sideshows at the circus. Those who write exposes' are doing pretty good too. Could I interest you in some prayer cloths and holy water?--for a nominal fee of course.

The wages of sin is death; the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ, The Lord.

This just goes to show how Hollywood has an affect on people. Many people will die and go to hell because they believe a fictional book / movie is fact.

It amazes me that there are still people going to the forest where the "Blair Witch" movie was filmed, thinking it was a true story.

 

You know what... it's fiction. It's meant to be entertaining and nothing more. Don't attack the author of a fiction novel when it's the readers who can't seperate fact from fantasy.

 

It's not a matter of attacking the author. You did't read what I wrote above -- yes, it's supposedly fiction but Dan Brown wrote on the fist page that all descriptions of art, architecture, secret documents, and rituals are true. This is a lie. When someone lies like that, and when they attack the deity of Christ and the Bible, we are supposed to defend the faith and try to keep people from being misled.

The story is fiction but contains gnostic attacks on the faith from the early centuries that are being revived. These gnostic beliefs are not fiction. One of the characters is a historian, so what he says sounds like it's history. He repeats a lot of the gnostic stuff as well as new "myths" about the deity of Christ and other stuff that people believe. So this part is NOT fiction.

 

Katie,
I just can't agree.
Fiction or not, anything that talks falsely about the Lord, specifically about Who He is and what He did, is not entertaining.

when I first saw him months ago on good morning america he talked as if it was all based on truth, and he fully believe it. He obviously did not mean the facts he thinks he has to be fiction.

 

From the commercial for the movie, it looks good and interesting. With one of Hollywoods best actors, Tom Hanks in a starring role, you know tons of people will see it. I'm sure we will once it comes to DVD but we know enough not to be decieved by it too.

 

It is historical fiction concocted in the mind of one who at the moment is unregenerate.

For example, the Priory of Sion is documented to have existed (read Psalm104_33's post on the 60 minute investigation), and there [b ]are[/b] documents that show it was founded in the 12th century (now if that was when the crusades happened, you know. I don't.)

From that, Dan Brown proceeded to construct lies and fiction and used untruth in the promotion of his book and the Christ-hating media jumped in.

 

False prophets will arise, deceiving many.

 

There is value for some people to see it to speak against it. But please rethink if you are just going to watch it for entertainment.
The book on which this is based portrays Jesus as not God, the resurrection as false, that He married Mary Magdalene who then had a child, that physical descendants exist now through French lines, that most if not all of the start of the Church was a hoax, perpetuated through history.
That's just part.

This is not entertainment. This is an attack on the faith.

But here is my main point: even if everybody agreed and knows it is fiction, I do not believe Christians should watch such a portrayal of the Lord for entertainment.

Yes, I know what it's about. One major reason I wanted to watch it is because I talk to people around me alot about Christianity and faith. I wanted to read the book but didn't get around to getting it. Still might.
I'm sure this movie will be a hit.

 

It's just another attack on the Jesus of the bible and our faith in general. Satan is grasping at straws these last days. He is pretty good at deceiving those not seeking the truth.

We need to stick with the bible and count the rest as garbage!

 

It is both a problem and a blessing. Like "The Passion of the Christ" it provides us with an opportunity to highlight and distinguish the truth of scripture and the errors of these legends.

I first read about the Knights Templar, Hapsburgs, et al 10-12 years ago. This stuff isn't new. Brown just found a real creative way of popularizing it.

I think Stroebel the Bible Answer Man quoted Dan Brown as saying that he started out as a skeptic but that his research had actually convinced him that the core ideas were true. He probably isn't as benign as some here seem to think... but God could use the evils of Pharoah and Pilate... he can use Dan Brown's non-sense as well.

 

If anyone is that desperate to be entertained for two to three hours, there are reruns of Mr Ed and the Gong Show on all day long. Those shows would do more for your intellect than this movie.

 

I eagerly await Dan Brown's "true" story about Mohammed.

 

In a way that says it all, right there.
