Why are Christians so afraid of a movie called "The DaVinci Code"?

I didn't know that Christians are afraid of the DaVinci Code.  Everyone knows that it's all fiction.

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.

Nothing, everyone wants to make a fuss over it because it contradicts the bible.  However, the author of the Da Vinci Code says himself that this is fiction.  He made it up, it is a story just like every other movie we watch.  If you want the truth go to the bible.

It is BUNK, a money making scheme, a lie from Satan himself, bent on casting doubt into hearts about the truth of Jesus and his promise to save any and all who even believe on HIS hame for salvation.  CHeck out one of His followers, a well educated Christian, who has done his homework.  If you are irreligious, this guy is for you to hear, because  he tells it like it is, so don't be afraid....see religion is man reaching up to God and getting nowhere, but Dr. James Kennedy shars Jesus' words and teaches salvation, GOd reaching down to man through Jesus, His only Son.  Who would love you enough to die for you?  Only Jesus.  IF you believe Jesus and his promise to save you, HE ALONE MUST BE FOUND FAITHFUL TO DO WHAT HE HAS SAID, so it only makes sense to believe the one who rose again...this is truth....HE is thr truth, the only way to the Father and eternal life.  Check him out! (And Dr. Kennedy too).\n\nThis week on The Coral Ridge Hour Dr. Kennedy debuts The Da Vinci Delusion, a documentary produced to coincide with the release of the The Da Vinci Code film. This documentary refutes the fraudulent historical claims made in Dan Brown's book and movie. With the help of world-renowned scholars, Dr. Kennedy will show definitively that the historical claims made by Brown are blatantly false and that the faith of Christian believers today is truly "the faith which was once delivered unto the saints."

The answer to your question is actually very simple:\n\nThe idea presented in the "DaVinci Code" about Jesus, if accepted as the truth, will fully destroy the very core of the Christianity -- the Divinity of Jesus.\n\nSince Christianity based the faith upon that, Jesus is Divine as the Son of God as well as Unique; Jesus cannot be a normal human being.  Also, Christianity stated that, Jesus was crucified, died and then resurrected from death; the "DaVinci Code" offered the idea that, Jesus was just a normal human being who eventually died a natural death after surviving the crucifixion.\n\nThink about it, such a grave concept to consider, even shall it be a mere fiction, upon the minds of all Christians.  Their very own faith is attacked in a way which they do not know how to respond, but this is NOT the first time...centuries ago, a few sects of christians were burnt alive for this very belief.\n\nA fiction is a fiction, but this fiction has crossed the line so to speak.  Also, because the "DaVinci Code" is a fiction based on some historical and theorical facts, people will and do starting to ask "what-if" questions: and if one of those "what-if" questions is proven true...Christianity will start to be destroyed piece-by-piece.

it was a little disappointing that some parts of the book were omitted in the movie. truth is if you didn't read the book or know nothing about christian history, then watching the movie would be either too confusing or boring.\n\nthe only consolation was seeing the fab performances of tom hanks and ian mckellen.

I'm an ordained evangelical minister and see no problem with either the movie or the book. The problem is that Dan Brown has stated that the book and movie are fictional, but Christians say it's misleading--but their problem is that they are trying to pick apart DVC without going to the Bible to find out what is true in DVC and what isn't. If they'd just stick with the Bible as their source for truth and read it and absorb it, and keep in mind that DVC is fiction, then it's absolutely no problem. I just wonder how many Christians are seeing the movie or reading the book without opening their Bibles. :-(

No.  It is interesting to me that the same people who bash Christians and deny the authority of the entire Bible are always the first to jump on the latest theological bandwagon as long as it runs contrary to accepted beliefs.  Take for instance the Divinci Code.  Now the hot topic is the gospel of Judas.  It reminds me of the way Hollywood is quick to make movies about the powers associated with the devil and demons, but rarely makes one portraying God's side of the picture.  How many horror movies have been made about demons?  How many movies have been made about Christian faith?  Beware of the latest fad -ALWAYS!  To me the good news about the latest debate is that anyone seriously engaged in it, has already admitted some very basic truths.  Namely that Jesus existed, that he was crucified, that his follower Judas handed him over to the authorities.  Those truths have never been in question.  Any historian will tell you that the life of Jesus is THE most well documented event in history.  That in itself should tell you something.

This has already happened.  Before they had the bible, they were all lost sheep, so they created a story that would keep their women faithful, their children in fear and their pockets full.  Take it away now.....and they'll just create another one.  Hopefully the next one has better special effects.

Well, in my opinion... There's a part of them that's insecure about their faith. When anything (such as the controversial Da Vinci Code) threatens their faith, or attempts to prove it wrong, their defense mechanisms spring up. They know they could be wrong about their faith, and that's what's making them so irate. I think people are starting to forget that the bible is "just a book" too.

Because it is is a very popular book, and is expected to be a very popular movie.  The historical and biblical claims in the book are wildly inaccurate, so people with theological education would like to get the word out about the untruths and half-truths.\n\nWhile the Roman Catholic Church is the primary target of the misinformation, Christianity as a whole is taking a hit. The unusual theories are presented very well and shown as if they were fact, in spite of plenty of scientific (non-religious) evidence that they are wrong.\n\nHere are a couple of faith-based links.

It threatens the churches belief systems so they have to stress that it is a work of fiction.  Religious people don't like their religions threatened.  Just look how many wars have come about as a result of religion.

Jewish people were concerned that the movie would fuel antisemitism. A concerned Rabbi Eugene Korn previewed the film before it came out and made the following statement,\n\n"We are deeply concerned that the film, if released in its present form, will fuel the hatred, bigotry and anti-Semitism that many responsible churches have worked hard to repudiate."\n\nAnother controversial aspect of the movie was its graphically violent depiction of Jesus' crucifixation. Some Christians were upset that the movie choose to focus on Jesus' violent death rather than other Biblical themes like the resurrection and his life experiences valuing messages of love, tolerance, and redemption.
