The Davinci code : Fact or Fiction?

Answer 1

Who is to say fact or fiction? Were YOU there? Can you believe what the chruch tells you? Do you believe that all the former popes all the way to the creation of the Catholic church?

1) Popes ordered the crusades against the non-believers. They told crusaders that they would get absolution of sins by killing non-believers. In fact, they told crusades to kill Saracens (who were christians but did not speak the same language)

2) Former popes have had mistresses including having relations with the sisters, daughters etc etc (go read your history if you do not believe me)

Is it possible at all that these popes have been hiding some truths?

Answer 2

Parts of it are factual, parts of it are fictional.

There really is a Vatican. There really was a painter named Leonardo Da Vinci who painted the Mona Lisa. He also painted the Last Supper.

There really was an organization called the Knights Templar, there really was a Council of Niceae, a group called the Opus Dei, and there is an art museum called the Louvre.

Now, the questionable parts for me are the myths and history regarding Jesus.

First, there is no proof or evidence that Jesus ever existed. (The Shroud of Turin is a hoax.) However, there's no evidence that he didn't exist either. So, we're left in the dark on this one key point.

We could say that the Bible is the truth, except that it was pieced together through councils to decide what stories remain doctrine, and which are scrapped. The scrapped books are called the Apocrypha. That being said, you can conclude that whatever really happened (or didn't happen) has been safely buried in the past. The reason I come to this conclusion is that Christianity has been manufactured by a group consensus.

If you learn how the myth of Jesus and Christianity were founded from existing local religions and merged into one religion, you'll have a totally different take on the Da Vinci Code than someone who is just a pure believer with faith in the church.

(Brown points out in Angels & Demons how conquering religions borrow and steal parts of the religious beliefs of those who have been conquered. Consider Christmas. Dec. 25th is not Jesus' birthday. It was an old pagan holiday to celebrate the Winter Solstice. Christians said that was Jesus' birthday to subvert the pagan holiday.)

So, as I said, parts of it are fact, parts of it are fiction. Regardless, people who believe in God will not lose their faith over the book. In fact, even if you found the body of Mary, and you found that the whole thing was true, people would still reject it.

It's a free country. Believe what you want. People just need to keep in mind that the book is a work of fiction.

Fiction. All over in churches across the country are DaVinci's finding vs biblical. These questions are valid questions and need to be answered. Seek out in your community the truth go to a Christian church and make sure they give Biblical reference. The bible is historical and is factual. Good luck.

Answer 11

It has been sold as fiction becasue those who are in 'control' would not have allowed its publication if it were fact! but it does support some facts within it as well as achieving its goal of getting us to ask the question 'fact or fiction'

BUT - who knows!!! Historical sci-fi writers offered fiction until facts came along to change our thinking....
