who has seen the DaVinci Code? What do you think about the theory?

Answer 1

Da Vinci Code Broken?

Da Vinci Code controversy - It is everywhere! Dan Brown's book claims Jesus in not divine or God, and the gospels as we know them, have been changed, and after Jesus stay here on earth, men raised his status to the level of God. Could any of this be true?

Ancient secrets of the Church, hidden for centuries have actually been revealed and published in books prior to the fictional writings of Brown in the Da Vinci Code. Baigent and Leigh have produced other books from researchers point of view over the last two decades, including "Dead Sea Scrolls Deception", "Holy Blood, Holy Grail", and "Messianic Legacy." These books were the talk of the religious communities when they came out in the early 90's and certianly they have fueled an ongoing interest into just exactly who was this man Jesus, what was his message and what happened to him?

Islam claims to "break the code" so to speak, over 1,400 years ago. The answer, according to Muslm scholars has been in the Quran for over fourteen hundred years

Some may be surprised to learn, Muslims believe in the miracle birth and other miracles associated with Jesus. They actually consider him as the "Messiah" and they even say, "peace be upon him" when mentioning his name. However, they are quick to negate any connection between God and Jesus as a partnership or God-head, and they rule out the notion of God having any son (or daughter for that matter).

Here is how Muslim scholars present their understanding and "break the code":

How Muslim scholars "broke the code":

Creation itself tells us there is a creator and from the beginning of time – Allah, (the One God in Arabic) alone is to be worshiped. This is clear teaching throughout the Old testament (Torah), the scriptures that Jesus himself read and taught from. God is one not one of three; for example: ‘He is God; there is no other besides Him’. (Deuteronomy 4:35). The same is mentioned in the book of Mark in the New Testament, chapter 12, verse 29, when Jesus, peace be upon him, had been asked about the Greatest Commandment he replied, "To know, O Israel, the Lord your God is One Lord; and you have to love Him with all your heart and all your mind and all your strength."

According to the oldest and most authentic copies of manuscipts and scrolls available throughout the centuries, Jesus, peace be upon him, never claimed to be God, or the creator, or the One to pray to, nor did he tell his followers to revere him as God. These notions appear on the lips of others who came along decades and even centuries later.

While Jesus was on earth he did not claim to be the creator or ask us to revere him as God. His miraculous birth is a sign of his prophethood: “Verily, the likeness of Jesus before Allah, is the likeness of Adam. He (Allah) created him from dust and said “Be!” and he was” (Quran 3:59). Like all the great and noble prophets of Allah such as Adam, Abraham, Moses, Isaac and David, Jesus came with one message: Worship, love, obey and submit to the one true God, Allah, the creator of everything and do not worship anything besides Allah.

Throughout history, people have taken to worship things or people alongside Allah, or just worshiping something else like power, status or money. Even the names of religions seem have more to do with the creation and less or nothing to do with the Creator. For example: Buddhism – Buddha (the name of a man), Confucianism – Confucius (the name of a man), Hinduism – Hind (the name of an area), Judaism – Judah (the name of a tribe) and Christianity – Christ (the name of a great prophet).

Islam is different. Islam is a word coming from the verb "aslama" and it carries the meaning of "surrender", "submission", "obedience", "sincerity" and "peace" between you and Almighty Allah (God) and not to any human or anything within creation. Anyone who practices Islam submits to and worships Allah, alone without any partners of any kind.

The Quran states: "There is only One God (Allah) then have reverance for Me and fear Me (and Me alone)." To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and on earth, and to Him is duty due always: then will ye fear other than Allah?" (Quran 16:51-52)

Isn’t it time you join Jesus, the son of Mary, along with all of the other Prophets of Allah and practice the "Submission to the Will of God" (Islam)?


Or simply put: "Worship the Creator - and not His Creations!"

Answer 2

I think the whole DaVinci Code thing is stupid. People are treating this book like its the truth and the fact is that is all made up. The world just needs to calm down and go read the Bible which is the REAL truth!

Answer 3

@Jackbauer - awesome answer....

as far the question goes... movie sucks to the core, the book is very well written, bible is a story too which millions of people chose to follow, if the da vinci code was written before the bible they would have followed that. Simple as that man, people need soemthing to hang on to in life. Otherwise our lifes are meaningless and barren. Faith is what keeps people going.

Answer 4

i think the idea is very thought provoking and almost makes me wanna beleive it. The ideas make alot of sense but the only reason the theory arose is with the book and movie so that makes me think its fiction. So, i would like to beleive the hteory cause it has alot of support but i doubt that it is actually true.

Answer 5

the story is fiction, but it based on some serious research, and a serious theory. i find it perfectly plausible, though of course, it would be impossible to prove either way.
and frankly, the more effort is put forth to deny it, the more i am inclined to believe it. organized religion wouldn't be making such an effort to cover this up if it didn't present some danger...

Answer 6

As good as it sounds, Dan Had made his money and the show is over so chill, it is not true. The author knew that this would stir up some trouble between the christians, so I guess he has finished what he wanted to say and made the fame and money that he wanted. IT IS NOT TRUE it is all fiction.

Answer 7

There are so many books that have been written (even ones by non-Christian, secular historians) that point out all the flaws in the book/movie. While it makes for entertaining fiction, it's really not meant to be taken to heart.

Answer 8

I've seen it and I think the theory is very interesting and makes for a good plot line but not true.

Answer 9

I read the book, I saw the movie. It's a thought provoking idea. But it is just fiction. Even if it were true that Jesus Married and had children does that really change his message or what he did for us?

Answer 10

I think it's just as possible as anything in the Bible. They're both fictitious stories, the Da Vinci Code is just better written and more entertaining.

Answer 11

For me..Da Vinci Code is "Facts mixed with Fiction"
