BellaOnline Forums Family Siblings DaVinci Code, Fact or Fiction? Christian Feminism

Christians are only talking about it in order to use it as a forum to discuss the truth about Jesus and the Bible.

Many people believe 100% that the theory is FACT. According to my little poll above 29% believe it to be FACT, although none of them have let us know why.

I personally know people who believe this book is true. The writer of the book on a few major news shows has said that he believes the theory to be fact and says so on the front page of his book.

The book was a blockbuster way before the Christians started talking about it. At first it was ignored and it still kept selling at the top of the charts. It's only been since the movie that Christians have started to talk about it more and more.

Christians are not attacking the book, we are only discussing the truth so that those who do not know the truth can find it. However, many want to believe this far fetched theory that doesn't make sense.

As per Alexandra's number 2 answer - mummification:

So why did they take the body all the way back to Isreal to bury it under a Jewish Landmark? The Jewish rulers would have rejoiced in order to prove that they did right by killing Jesus and proving he wasn't the Messiah.

There's the proof just lying there under an important Jewish building and what they didn't know about it? How would they have not known about it?

Other than:
The Priory of Sion - a European Society founded in 1099, which is a real organisation, and the Vatican prelature known as 'Opus Dei', which is a deeply devout Catholic Sect -

IT'S ALL FICTION - !!

I have the book right in front of me now - and it clearly states that it's fiction....!

"in this work of FICTION The characters, places and events are either the products of the Author's imagination, or they are used entirely fictitiously"

- It says!

IT'S FICTION - !!

A work of fantasy!

Imaginative!

Made up!!

Not real!!


I hope that's cleared that little matter up....

I'm not sure that even what Brown says is fact is fact. I just read and heard on a news program (yes even they are discussing the book) that the Priory was a club created in 1953 by Pierre Plantard. He later testified under oath that he had fabricated the entire hoax. The society existed only in the novel and in the mind of Pierre Plantard.

Well there you go....!! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Alexandra, I'm not trying to give you a hard time. I realize that you know the book to be fiction.

The conversation is important because many believe it to be true, as with my little poll - 29% of my little poll believe the conspiracy is fact not Fiction.

Yes I realize that many could be screwing around, but many still believe the consipiracy to be true.

60 minutes did a show on the Priory of Sion - you may still be able to view it on their website. They did find a paper where the Priory of Sion did own land in the early 1000's but this is not the Priory of Sion Dan Brown is talking about.

Dan Brown is basing it on the Documents Secrete found in the bibliotech national. It has been proven that this document is a fake and was deposited by Pierre Plantard in 1953.

Dan Brown based a lot of his conspiracy from information on the book Holy Blood Holy Grail.

Another book that writes a fictional story about the church killing to keep secrets of da vinci is the da Vinci Codex, written before Dan Browns book. I enjoyed the da Vinci Codex much better as it was a better written book.

My point is that these theories have been around a long time. It is the marketing of the book that has made it come to the forefront of church conversation. Tomorrow the whole issue will be over and Jesus will be the one left standing.

Have you checked out Lisa's page on this topic.

It's great.

Anyone see the A&E Documentaries on Dan Brown's books?

They are very pro conspiracy and the experts they interview support the idea of the Mary Magdaline story. Highly educated people believe that there is more behind this theory.

I did not mean to say chirstians are attacking the book. Where i live and my church and many other are tring to boycott the movie and books and have surmonds on how wrong and immoral it is. and the fack that is has just came out Friday here and we have heard about the DaVinci Code for the past 4 months... every teen i have seen snick off to watch it because they were curious have told me they did nt see the big deal it is fiction and not one of the greatest movies. the fact that some countrys are trying to ban it and some not all christians get defencive and some hostle. they think well if it brings true believers to scamble and find facts and thearoys and it boils down to excuses then there most be some truth. My belief is still the same before after and during the DaVinci Code and Harry Potter and any other movie book or Rock and Roll. God is God Because I know Jesus died and ROSE again for my sins because I know Him Personaly!!the end. and until every one can testafy to non beliefers with out a smoke sceen of my fact vs. there fact... its not a good fight because there will always be some one out there how wont believe and will digg up "FACTS ACCORDING TO SOME BIG WIGG" Although the book does make for a lively decussion and a great way to open the door to Jesus. <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/images/graemlins/rolling.gif" alt="" />as for the 29% that would indecate that there are 29% of the poll who willingly believe a lie because they cannot or will not believe in Jesus which means the problem does not lie in the book and the theorys there in but in the heart of the believer or non believer. You Dont believe in God because a dust old Bible says you should or your family says you should or some big wig church guy says you should. the same is true of a non believer they believe in what ever because that is there way of not coming to the Lord for what ever handy excuse. think about your walk with God. <img src="/images/graemlins/angel.gif" alt="" /> and why you believe and how you got to this point. that or a veriation of that has to happen for others. and i an up a creek with no pattle if you just picked up a Bible or heard some big wigg say you should become a christian and you did but i think you know where i am going with this. <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
