Followers of Christ, what do you think of the movie Da Vinci Code or the book?

Question

I felt awkward after watching it, maybe because I haven't read the book. Do you think it is possible, or it's just one of the "end of the world" signs when fake prophets appear and spreading lies? Does it shake your faith even a little bit? Personally, even if it's true, it didn't change the facts that miracles did happen and that God exist and Jesus is His Son. But to see Holy Grail as a woman's womb is very disturbing for me, plus the ritual that Sauniere was performing? Doesn't seem holy at all..It seems more like regular Hollywood sex scenes!
What do you think?

Answer 1

I didn't like the movie and it really isn't possible. Josh McDowell has written a really short book about it. Google his name and Da Vinci Code and you can find it.

Answer 2

Yes lots of Christians watched the movie or read the book. I watched the movie and found it to be a really good thriller. Afterwards it provoked a good deal of discussion amongst the women .It provides a good talking point about faith. No I do not believe in what the film says. It gives Christians a chance to witness to people about Jesus.

Answer 3

I liked the book but the movie was just bad and I was expecting better of someone like Ron Howard (a.k.a Opie a.k.a Richie Cunningham). He gave us two, really good films (A Beautiful Mind and Cinderella Man) but gave us this stinker.

Anyhoo, the book was good even though it wasn't well-written. It was, in fact, a little too easy to read. Plus, it's theologically incorrect as the whole Da Vinci code thing is merely a conspiracy theory.

Answer 4

Well, since you asked...look, I didn't read the book either. I believe in God, I am Christian, yada yada, that's a whole different discussion. The movie ruled, Tom Hanks rules, and Mary M. rules. So what if Jesus and Mary were together? So what if women should run the Church? So what? Doesn't change anything for me as far as my faith or beliefs are concerned. The idea of a living relative of Christ is way sweet, though, I think. A Royal Bloodline, for the one true King of the world, and mankind. Wow. Great question, b.t.w.

Answer 5

The problem is that some people, ignorant on God's word, think that this is true and they don't know that is based in secrets that they don't know yet. So they studied some real "facts" and they came out with some speculative answers. Until they don't find that secret(probably they will never find it) you guys search on the Bible that's the holy truth to know about Jesus and God in what they are, what they want and what they're gonna do. Don't waste your time in speculations. Have you read the Bible? - Have you read the Da Vince Code?....Shame on you.

Answer 6

Entertaining book. Work of fiction. Entertainly movie. Sort of followed the book (but kind of loosely). Work of fiction. Fiction. Not reality.

Answer 7

absolutely purely unadulterated BUNK!!! it's fiction!!! just like the "necronomicon," which was created for a work of fiction, yet has been printed and published all over the world as a real satanic ritualistic series of summons for the devil to enter the caller's soul. HOGWASH!! just a movie babe. pure hollywood at its finest/worst.

Answer 8

I think Dan Brown is a great fiction writer. It was entertaining. You really can't look at it as anything more than that-it was never intended as more than that. To get all worked up about it is just silly. At least Christians aren't putting a "fatwa" out on Dan Brown (see Salman Rushdie).

Answer 9

It is okay fiction. Personally, I had the book figured out quite early. It's a what if type of thing.

Answer 10

I only read the book. I guess it's possible that Jesus may have married MM, but I doubt it. There's no real evidence.
