the devinchi code

[thomasb41]

was wonder ing are you views on the devinchi code some say go see it and some dont go see it.

 

[Jesuslovesu]

That is for each person to decide I will not see it

 

[Faithful Son]

I second that, why would I want to see my Lord and Saviour that suffered the most aweful death of all being humiliated in a man made pathetic excuse of a film?

Watch Passion of the Christ, you'll learn more through that.

 

[Yahwehdove]

I saw Josh McDowell talking about it on one of the Christian channels. I feel my knowledge of church history may be sufficient to see the movie and discern fact from fiction. Problem with this movie is that Many who do NOT know for themselves the history of the church and the canonization of the Bible will be deceived and buy into the lie.

I would like to be able to give an answer for the hope that is within me and know what others saw so i could adequately answer them

I am still considering wether or not to go... ( i really dont want to give them my money)

Amen, same here! Why support mockery against our Christ Jesus? Not here, not me. Its hypocritical for a Christian to do so, at least in my view anyway.

Amen Chad and Amen Teraside,

Our God desires truth in the inner most being. "Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts......" Psalm 51:6. And John 17:17 says "Thy word is truth". So feed your system with truth. TRUTH alone. I repeat, FEED YOUR BEING WITH GOD'S WORD ALONE.

I urge you bretheren to avoid anything that contradicts God's truth. There is nothing that Christians need to know in 'davinci code'. It is a blasphemous movie. And I don't think, " the Spirit that yearns jelously within us" wants us to go and watch an outright anti - christian movie. And I don't want to see the movie not because it is a threat to my faith. No. It is never a threat to my faith, because " nothing can seperate me from the love of Christ". But I avoid the movie coz it is an on the face mockery towards my Lord Jesus.

There may be various discussions about whether movie should be watched, or banned or whatever..... but nothing will alter the fact that the church of Christ is the CHURCH VICTORIOUS.

 

[Fellowservant]

When it hits the video stores i might watch it to refute it.. if someone unsaved starts talking about it:shade: Use the enemies lies, and weapons, against him. For me it would be overcomeing evil with good, but not a babe in Christ.. i woulnt recommend it to a babe in Christ unless they had someone with lot of bible study behind them, to show them the lies.

God bless

And amen Gideon.

As Christians the Spirit of God lives within us, do you really think He wants us watching what mocks our Lord and Saviour?

 

[Granny]

NO!... to the Divinchi code

Who would want to make these ungodly people rich.
First they say Jesus was a homosexual...now they say he was married.
Come on...
There will be other tall tales in the future because this film will make lots of money for everyone involved in it.
We have to take a stand and say "no"we will not be a part of this satanic plan because many viewers will believe this rubbish..

Granny.

The uproar over the book and now the movie has done more harm than either.


To raise ones voice in opposition to anything gives that thing credence and power. And that is exactly what the church has done with both the book and movie.


Why are you so supprised at such things???
Doesn't scripture tell us these things and worse will happen before His return????


Things like this separate the grain from the chaff.
It separates the true believers from those who only claim to believe. Those who are truely His will never be taken from Him. Certianly not by this kind of stuff.


The world has more to fear from movies like "Broke Back Mountian"and "Harry Potter". Or TV series like "Will and Grace", "South Park" Those things that portray homosexuality and the accult as normal and or benign. And with TV there isn't even ticket to buy ,just a remote to click.
I don't see anyone raising a fuss over those????


Besides that it was a lousy movie. A confusing and disorienated attempt at a suspence movie that counterdicts itself as many times as it counterdicts the truth. It had so many distractions, twists and turns that it was hard to watch. It begins with nothing and ends up nowhere and says nothing of substance. It's plot illogical and theme sketchy at best. You realy never know what they're trying to say with it.
It's reminds me of a naughty child who says bad words to see how the parents react.


I imagine the book has more impact simply because it takes more time to read and can be referanced in some sort of misguided study.
Even so no one who's life has been touched by God would find anything of merit in either.


Sincerely His
Cliff

Cliff

No one has said they are surprised at such things!!!

 

[CliffS]

Chill dude. It's not that big a deal. It just seems to me that many are making a big deal over nothing.

Hollywood has got itself another controversial subject to make money off of.
I would have been surprised only if they hadn't have made this movie.

'Passion of the Chirst" and "Divinci Code" both from the same place. The first endorced by the Catholic church and the second an attack on the Catholic church.
Playing both ends. And the world including Christianity are soaking it up like a sponge.

Which is worse? The one that claims to portray the truth and has errors and omitions or the one that is so desperately wrong and so poorly made as to be a joke?

They both accomplished their goal. To make money.
Does Christianity realy expect biblical truth from the secular world?
Movies are the very essence hypocricy.
And Hollywood ,USA are the grand masters of it.
Ever wonder how many of those who supposedly saved as a result of the "Passion of the Christ" are now supposedly lost because of the "Divinci Code"?
The mear idea that man can even come close to portrying the truth in any movie is shear foolishness.


Want the truth? Read the bible . Want to be entertained? Watch a movie. But don't go mixing the two. It just don't work that way.

All I stated was that no was said they were surprised at these things. You are reading into things that aren't there. No need for the sarcasm either.

 

[CliffS]

Sorry,

I wasn't aware that I had respond to exactly what was posted in the thread.
I had assumed from all the controvercy that there were those who were surprised, shocked, and unaware that such things are addressed in scripture.

I will delete it if you wish.

Brother,


We live in counterdiction to God's truth. It is our nature to do so. That is why God's truth is so important.

I'm not recomending the movie. But there are some things that some need to know about it. And watching it is one way of finding out.
Not the best way for all. But for some it is.

First it is not an attack on Jesus nor Christianity as many have portrayed.
It is an attack on religian, Catholocism in particular.
It's purpose was to push religous buttons and widen the distance between Christianity and the secular world. The end being to make money in the controvercy. It amazes me how well it worked concidering that it was realy not made well.

If your going to avoid hypocrocy, baspheme, and all untruth your going to have to avoid everyone and everything. Even within Christianity those things are present.
Simply because they are present within our very nature.

I'd like to see the stats on just how much money Christianity as a whole will make selling books and stuff counterdicting this movie.

There are other threads dealing with what the da vinci code is about. It's not good to assume things, if someone is surprised or shocked they would have said so. Just leads to another thread discussing the same things over and over and it's harder to keep track of things.

This is not my quote I agreed with it, but I didn't quote originally.

sunshine is not a "dude", read with your eyes open. Sarcasm is not allowed also on this site (in regards to your nasty "chill dude" attitude on your 2nd reply).

As for avoiding hypocrisy, blaspheme and all untruth as you stated - this is false that we would avoid everyone and everything. If that is the case, you must be doing all 3 things right now. Is this true? We are BELIEVERS who are called to walk in spirit not flesh. This is TRUTH in Scripture as told by GOD Himself through aspostle for example.

If you don't like how people feel about the movie and the fact they are sticking up for GOD's TRUTH, then don't bother replying at all. The world does not revolve around your opinions nor your many false assumptions.

 

[Fellowservant]

When it comes to Christian movies, Hollywood couldnt give you the truth probably if they tried, The Omen is playing on the 6/6/06 and it is supposed to be good for Christianity as it gets people thinking of damnation and the end times. Either way the movie is still not a true biblical representation of these events. As for the Divinci Code... since im Canadian, ill probably just watch Divincies Inquest:shade: I just dont like being ignorant of the enemies devices...plus the strong should support the weak.

God bless

Sorry for bothering you.
