The DaVinci Code is a little of this and a little of that meant to cause doubt on much of the truth of Jesus Christ.  It is just one more deceptive tool that Satan is using to confuse and confound the truth.

The scientist believe that Davinci was just more than a artist, they believed he was one of the most intellegant people of his time. They believe he encoded all of his works (paintings, sculptures, etc) with some sort of code that modern man is not able to break at this time. They belive Davinci had the answers to some of the most asked questions.

DAVINCI PEOPLE NEW RELIGION INSTEAD CHRISTIANITY\n\nNow most people turning their faith to the DaVinci code rather than the "LIE IN THE CHRISTIANITY". That is what they said. Most of them think with their plain brain and found that the DaVinci code is really turn to logic and not like the god fairy tale. Nobody believe that god turn to become a baby and died to save our sin. THE DAVINCI CODE revealed that Jesus Christ IS NOT A GOD ANYMORE. It is really breaking the LIE BEHIND christianity. What should i say, the logical turn to DaVinci. We have brain to choose.

I think it's rubbish. I think it's a hoax, a clever elaborate hoax. I must applaud the person who created the Titor story for his (or her) ingenuity.\n\nIt seems to me that most people will believe anything, no matter how absurd.\n\nThe John Titor story actually sounds pretty believable when you compare it stories that appear in major religious texts like the Bible, the Koran, or the Gita. People believe those.

I believe that there is a lot of compelling evidence for the theory behind the Da Vinci (everyone should notice that that's what you asked about, not the novel itself)\n\nThe Priory of Sion part is highly questionable, but the evidence for the bloodline of Christ is very plausible and at least as "provable" is the orthodox Christian account.

unlike the bible it has only ONE author...\n\never hear of the telephone game???\n\n10 people in a line, the first reads a message and passes it verbally to the next and so on...\n\nwhen it reaches the last person it has no resemblance to the original message..\n\nhow can the bible even be considered SLIGHTLY accurate since it was kept verbally for centuries and changed constantly when it was written down...\n\npeople that dismiss the Da Vinci code have closed minds and believe only what they are instructed to believe...

Another Dan Brown and Da Vinci Code question. While it is true of the existence of the Gnostic writings, most of these were incomplete as Dan Brown indicates, and the liberties that he took in writing his book. Also of the existence of an organization know as "The Priory of Sion", an actual organization that was founded in 1956, therefore impossible for Davinci himself to belong to the organization as Brown tells in his fable. True there was a man known as Jesus, and that he was crucified. Jewish scholars have written this down as evidenced in the writings of Josephus.\n\nThis is directly from Dan Browns website\n\n"HOW MUCH OF THIS NOVEL IS TRUE?\nThe Da Vinci Code is a novel and therefore a work of fiction. While the book's characters and their actions are obviously not real, the artwork, architecture, documents, and secret rituals depicted in this novel all exist (for example, Leonardo Da Vinci's paintings, the Gnostic Gospels, Hieros Gamos, etc.). These real elements are interpreted and debated by fictional characters. While it is my belief that some of the theories discussed by these characters may have merit, each individual reader must explore these characters' viewpoints and come to his or her own interpretations. My hope in writing this novel was that the story would serve as a catalyst and a springboard for people to discuss the important topics of faith, religion, and history." \n\nand the writings of Josephus Antiquities 18:3:3...\n\n"3. Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man; for he was a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles. He was [the] Christ. And when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross, (9) those that loved him at the first did not forsake him; for he appeared to them alive again the third day; (10) as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him. And the tribe of Christians, so named from him, are not extinct at this day."\n\nRead and believe the following, if you are interested in the truth.

All the hype around the Da Vinci Code makes me laugh.  The book is listed as SPECULATIVE FICTION.  That means that there is some historical facts but the basis is fiction.  I haven't read it, nor will I see the movie.  I have my own theories on Jesus and him being married.  I have more of a chance of being accurate than the book.  You see Jesus was jewish and became a rabbi.  Rabbinical law back then stated that a rabbi HAD TO BE MARRIED.  So the wedding at Caanan was his to Mary Magdelen.  He probably did have kids and that was the Medici line of rulers that claimed "divine right of rule".

Yes, it's a hoax and complete satire.  It's making fun of fundamentalist Christian groups.

The 2000 year hoax of mysticism.

I don't see why not. Surely Christians are capable of distinguishing between truth and fiction. Just because the DaVinci Code has a high degree of verisimilitude and is virtually impossible to prove untrue (not being composed of scientifically verifiable statements) doesn't mean it's the TRUTH.\n\nOr does it?

Try this link....\n\nhttp://www.leaderu.com/focus/davincicode.html\n\nJosh McDowell put together a short book entitled, "The DaVinci Code: A Quest for Answers."\n\nBrown's book will be easy to disprove. His research is awful, his conclusions are just plain wrong most of the time, his grasp of history is simply terrible, and he makes things up... remember... this is a fictional novel.\nBest of luck to you!

The "Da Vinci Code" is basically a mixture of distorted facts and fiction. I think the book is composed of about 90% fiction.\n\nThe author, Dan Brown, claims in his fact page that all his depictions of artworks, secret societies, and rituals are true. However, his main sources for the his 'facts'--"Holy Blood, Holy Grail" and "Templar Revelation"--are only pseudo-histories. Even the authors of "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" accept that Jesus MIGHT have been married, but it is UNLIKELY.\n\nThe Da Vinci Code supports the claim that Jesus might have been married by mentioning the Gnostic gospels. In reality, the Gnostic gospels don't mention much about Jesus's life. The only Gnostic gospel that suggests that Jesus was married was the Dead Sea Scrolls--but it is impossible to know whether the word "companion" meant "wife," because the words are in Coptic and they can't be translated the way Dan Brown says.\n\nOne more thing Brown claims to be true is that a secret organization, the Priory of Sion, exists to protect the "secrets" of Jesus's real life. The Priory of Sion was NOT created by Godfrey of Bouillon in the 11th century, it was only actually created in the 70s by an anti-semitic supporter of the Vichy government, Pierre Plantard, fir personal gain. He wrote a family tree of the Merovingian royal family and included himself on the list. He also made a list of the "Grand Masters" of the Priory of Sion. A great Renaissance painter, Leonardo Da Vinci, was included in the list. After writing all those documents, Pierre Plantard deposited them in the Bibliotheque Nationale and claimed to have "found" them years later. So the Priory of Sion was actually only a fake organization created by Plantard.\n\nBrown also says that the Church "demonized" Mary Magdalene. But she is actually a saint in both the Catholic and Orthodox churches. The only thing close to "demonizing" Magdalene that the Church did was sometime during the 6th century when Pope Gregory merged three women named "Mary" in the Bible into one person.\n\nOne more thing, Brown says that Jesus's divinity was created by the Council of Nicaea. The Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325 was actually a response to the threat of the Arian heresy, which claimed that Jesus was a semi-divine creature, not of the same being as God. This was quickly becoming a popular belief and threatening the unity of Christianity. \n\nThere are more facts that I can write, but I hope what I did write is enough. Read the books below in the sources.

Doesn't exist and is a hoax. (Let me guess you heard about it in the Fictional book "The Da Vinci Code")
