| Da Vinci Code |

am finally able to blog on my new lappie.

anyway about the movie on tuesday night. it was after a long wait and massive negotiations with the boyfriend's army-mates on the day and time.

*sigh

boys.

so prior to watching the movie, i've heard what the story was all about and that many Christians' faith around the world have been so shaken that many religious groups in the world, including singapore, tried dissuading the authorities to ban this movie from screening here.

that aside.

in all honesty, my goose bumps kept rising, and my hair standing in most parts of the movie.

the author tried to used actual events and characters in history, to support his claims and absurd imagination. it was brillant of him in this aspect, but he certainly not have enough facts to pull off this stunt.

they talked about some power that will only be released when a man and woman unite (e.g. sex), with the whole
congregation watching. that's orgy as far as i'm concerned, and obviously associated with the occult, satanism and the Devil worship.
so then tell me, how righteous is this group of people indulging in some secret sexual rituals as such?!

blasphemy. indeed.

and fyi, there is no gospel of Philip. there is also no gospel of Mary Magdelene, or Thomas, or Mary for that matter. there is also no Holy Grail and no "royal bloodline". and even if there were, there must be a reason why at the final compilation of the different books, the Bible only has 66 books, not more, not less. remember, in all that we were taught, everything happens for a reason. and you would think God had no involvement in this matter?

NO.

there is only one God the Father, together with God the Son and God the Holy Spirit in the Holy Trinity. when God the Son was on earth as a mortal man just like every one else, He had God the Father's divinity in Him which was why He was able to perform so many miracles. He was not a mere man. He was God.

i've read about Gnosticism, about the Knights' Templers, Priory of Sion and even the Essene Scrolls and each of what i've read have their own versions of "truth".

i admit whilst reading those, i've been rather disillusioned. but the more i read, the more i knew if those were the "facts" they claimed were true, then where is the consistency???

one book says Jesus and Mary had a daughter, the other book claimed they bore a son. worst still, there were some who claimed they had 3 children in fact and that Jesus did not die physically when crucified, but only a 'spiritual death'?!

these pple completely have no idea what they're talking about.

utter rubbish.

there can be a million and one claims and none of us will ever know if its true or not, unless we ourselves believe in that truth.

so i guess this is where romans 10:17 comes in.

"so then, faith comes by hearing, and hearing from the word of God"
