Do you think the Da Vinci Code is true?

Answer 1

Absolutely not. It is a work of fiction and should be construed as such. No worries there, my friend.

Answer 2

I think the book is fiction, but based in fact. People should really do more research when they question something. I think the main problem with religious people not being able to accept that the da vinci code is possibly true, is that it destroys the very foundation on which they've built their lives. Even though the moral doesn't change (love one another etc...).

Answer 3

I prefer Disney for my fairy tales.

Come on, the Priory of Sion didn't exist until 1956 when convicted con artist Pierre Plantard created it and also admitted under oath in 1993 to forging a lot of the documents pointed to by Brown as his proof in his facts section. Brown plagiarized the book "Holy Blood, Holy Grail", and its authors admitted their research was faulty. They also sued him before the movie came out and the movie was going to be held up until Brown agreed to give them some of the movie proceeds.

Brown even got the number of windows in the Louvre wrong, it's 673, not 666. He also lied about the gnostic gospels and the New Testament, not to mention what the Church thought of Jesus. The Nicene Council didn't meet to determine Jesus' divinity, and afterwards it was Christians being persecuted by Constantius, not gnostics being persecuted.

The Knights Templar was basically a travel agency in the 12th century or so for guiding people to and from destinations... for a price of course. There's a good book out now by renowned apologist Josh McDowell called "A Quest For Answers: The DaVinci Code" which is good. I have a copy. His book "More Than A Carpenter" is also good for skeptics wondering about proof for the Bible.

And Mary Magdalene is nowhere said to have been the woman weeping at Jesus' feet in the Bible. You can read about it in Luke 7:38. Some have mistakenly assumed they are one and the same but there is realistically no reason to make that assumption.

The book is just a work of fiction by an imaginative author with average writing skills using them to sell his private agenda.

===============================================================


And for those ignorant people saying the Bible is no more factually accurate, they should acknowledge that to disqualify the Bible means to disqualify all other books ever written.

The New Testament alone is the best attested literary work by bibliographical proof and historical evidence in existence. The Iliad is second in manuscript authority to the New Testament (manuscript evidence shows that the copies/translations we now have are accurate with respect to the originals) with 643 reliable manuscripts in our possession today. The New Testament has over 20,000 manuscripts with some as old as the 2nd century A.D., and all are 99.5% word for word reliable in regards to one another. Archeology continues to disprove criticisms leveled against the Bible's numerous geographical/geneological/time references:

http://Christiananswers.net/archeology

As Sir Frederic Kenyon[1] writes "It can’t be too strongly asserted that in substance the text of the Bible is certain: Especially in the case with the New Testament. The number of manuscripts of the New Testament, of the early translations from it, and of quotations from it in the oldest writers of the church, is so large that it is practically certain that the true reading of every doubtful passage is preserved in some one or another of these ancient authorities. This can be said of no other ancient book in the world" (ref.9, p.23).

Answer 4

Yes. It came from God's lips to Dan Brown's ears. Church leaders next month are going to vote on whether or not it should be the New-New Testament, along with the "Left Behind" series.

Answer 5

The movie and book is fiction. You might want to consider the research done in a prior book on the missing manuscripts of the church.

Answer 6

NOOOOOOO............. the da vinci code is just plain stupid because its not true its not true to history its not true to scripture its just a dumb story that someone made up!

Answer 7

Ppl keep thinking that, I've read the book and its in the fictional book shelves, even Tom hanks said its a fictional story

Answer 8

Of course it is, just like I believe in the Cat in the Hat, by Dr. Seuss. Where is that silly cat anyway.

Oh, he must be chillin with Dan Brown over in pixieland.

Answer 9

Of course not! Even the people that helped him write the book said that it was all a part of his imagination. That book is a lie from the pit of Hell!

Answer 10

the original story is based on some real facts. the one that became the movie is fiction. true or not, is relative. cause the story is related to some people's faith. when comes to faith, facts and logic stops working.

Answer 11

No, it is not true it is a complete workm of fiction.
( oh, and there were also people protesting the movie and they hadnt seen it and all these nuns saw it only cuz' the pope said no :) )
