The world is Shaking when a novel called THE DA VINCI CODE coming up replacing the popularity of HARRY PORTER. "The Da Vinci Code is a fascinating and absorbing read - perfect history buffs, conspiracy nuts, puzzle lovers or anyone who appreciates a great, riveting read. Dan Brown i a my new must-read. I loved this book" said New York Times bestselling author,Robert Crais. At first it is just a famous novel which inspired the whole world.
The times passed when this book or its fans began to start controversy against the world most famous religion, The Catholic. They claimed that the Catholic which leads by The Vatican as a brain-washing,coercion and a dangerous practice. The author is great in using all the facts and all the historical peoples to strenghten the influence in his book. People like Sir Isaac Newton, Sandro Botticelli, VIctor Hugo and Leonardo Da Vinci are claimed to be members of the Priory of Sion(a European secret society founded in year 1099). He claimed that Leonardo Da Vinci have hidden secret messages within much of his artwork. Da Vinci's most famous pieces—works like The Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, and Madonna of the Rocks—contain startling anomalies tht all seem to be whispering the same cryptic message…a message that hints at a shocking historical secret which allegedly has been guarded since 1099 by a European secret society known as the Priory of Sion. This book directly guide many of the human race in the world to believe that Christian is not a true religion. I have a chat with my friend yesterday, and he mentioned about this book. I'm really supprise to hear him said he damn believe that the book is saying the truth. He say he search through internet while he read the book and found out that all facts stated in the book is A TRUE FACT. The Da Vinci Code has indirectly challenged The source of Christian - BIBLE.
The Bible is a lot of things to a lot of people, but to Christians, especially, it is a source of inspiration and a guide to daily living.
To others, the Bible is a historical document and a source of controversy. To others still, the Bible is a self-contradictory mish-mash of arcane rules and proscriptions, mostly relevant to long-dead cultures in far away places.
What is the truth in all of this?
The reality is that it is all true to an extent, and equally nonsensical at the same time. The Bible has meaning to all its readers, but it is important to consider that the meaning it has is informed by the prejudices the reader brings to it.
To really understand the Bible and what it intends to say to present generations, it is necessary to understand who wrote it and why, and the cultural context in which it was written. The story is an interesting one, in no small part because the story is so much messier than most of its advocates would have you to believe.
The overriding theme of the Bible storylines is the theme of cultural conquest. Conquest by the Hebrews over their enemy neighbors, culturally by the Jews over the Israelites (used here to mean members of the ten "lost" tribes), the Christians over the Jews, the Catholics over the Gnostics, Marcionites, and other pre-Catholic factions, and on and on. In some cases, the conquest is recorded as a historical, often military event. In others, it merely is recorded as a change in content and context, an alteration of the storyline and outlook and worldview.
And the story of the editing and translation of the final form of the Bible into what today is regarded as holy scripture is a story not just of cultural conquest, but of political intrigues, and not just between competing bishops, but with secular political authority itself. It is as if the U.S. congress or president were to decide what constituted Christian doctrine and scripture, and everyone went along at the peril of their lives.
The effect of its origins as selected parts of whole bodies of scripture, written by at least a hundred and fifty different people in dozens of different places at different times, many centuries apart, and for different reasons, colors what its authors wrote. Yet that simple fact is widely ignored, both by people who naively follow what they read in it as the inerrant word of God, and by more liberal scholastic theologians, who seek to understand its historical context as well as a body of doctrinal scripture, which they often blindly follow, even though they know full well its messy origins.
The BIBLE were canonized from all the holy scriptures few hundreds year after Christ.
And the Da Vinci Code is fully published in year 2003. It only takes few years to make some believer goes against The Bible. What the world has become?.. I have no inttention to write any longer...BUT which one You choose?
Who do You Choose to believe? JESUS? or DAN BROWN??
I choose JESUS, the Lord of all..What is your answer?
