Da Vinci is Dead!
Without a doubt the Da Vinci code by Dan Brown could be construed as in the least sense controversial. For those that want to go further with that thought, whether they've read the book or not, or just read biased reviews, or even read the debunking and myths involved about the book, could bomblast the whole notion and premise as abject blasphemy… as long as those doing so regard it as fact and not fiction. (I wonder how those same people felt about "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in the eighties?) which is what it was intended to be. ( I view it sort of in the sense that if I don't get all worked up about an issue or proposition in front of my children, then neither will they get worked up over it, and we can have a calm, logical discussion about the differences between fact and fiction.) There are ideas in the Da Vinci code that could be taken as denying the deity of Jesus Christ, the true and only Son Of God who shed His blood and died by crucifixion, and was raised from the dead by the hand of an Omnipotent and ever loving God and Father, to ascend into the Fathers home for the purpose of being the perfect sacrifice and the salvation of the souls of humanity. Again, these ideas were written as fiction. I hold the view that if ideas are dangerous, it is because the body of Christ has relinquished its responsibilities of extending to every human the love that Christ died to show and the faith that His Holy Spirit produces. What is very wrong about all of this is that the "Body" is all "up in Arms over a Movie or book that was actually well written, ( if read as fiction) but is completely missing the largest conundrum we as Christians face in the present tense.
Thirteen Centuries of religious repression is resurfacing. We in America sit here with our "Bill" that says we have freedom from religion, which protects us, at least until some supreme court farce 're-interprets' our rights as United States Citizens, and the incipient infusion of Islam becomes acceptable. But what about the rest of the world that is being slowly undermined by Muslim jihadist values? They don't have the choice. If Islam becomes the religion and ideology of a nation, all non-muslims become second rate citizens, with new imposed values such as;
1) the inequality of rights in all domains between Muslims and dhimmis;
2) the social and economic discrimination of the dhimmis;
3) the humiliation and vulnerability of the dhimmis.
and ultimately "the lives of the dhimmis and their property being
These are all excellent arguements to continue the "Good Fight". But what we as Americans are failing to realize while we masticate every word in the Davinci code in an attempt to prove that it ultimately denies the deity of Christ, is that the infusion around us called Islam absolutely denies the deity of Christ. We have such outrage and passion against fiction in the name of adverse sensitivities, but where is the Outrage, nay the responsibility, to expose and wage spiritual warfare against what is factual, and an imminent threat. Thirteen centuries of Christians cried "Our God Reigns" in silence and behind closed doors because of Dhimmitude, we as Americans need to wake up to the Spiritual cause at hand. If for no other reason to wage spiritual war in the Name of Christ for those of the world that can be enslaved.
