It goes against one fo the ten commandments -- of using God's name in vain - - you know it's a sin to say something like "Oh my God" out of spite -- so would it not be worse to be making up all these lies about Jesus? I'm sure he certainly doesn't want to be viewed as the movie portrayed him.[/quote] Well duh.... its a secular film..... I dont like it either, but its nothing like "woah... this is so different" and that's really not what we're discussing in this thread [quote] B. A lot of people say that "it is ok to watch/read the Davinci Code if you are strong in faith because then the movie/book wont shake you in your faith." and this is not true because if this book is just a work of fiction - - would not the same concept be true with anything? so by saying that you're saying its ok to watch some X-Rated racy film because "you are strong in faith"[/quote] No, the same concept does not apply to anything..... x-rated films contain substances and such that are completely wrong and it would have nothing to do with your faith..... there is a huge difference..... the Davinci Code is a matter of "history" and philosophy and such..... its not a porn movie.... its not going to cause you to make sinful habits like one of that type would [quote] C. Yes you can help SOME lost people know the truth - - but it's going to cause some people just to get confused and agitated and they aren't going to know what to think - - and some to want to turn against the Christian faith all together because they'll believe the media no matter what Christians say.[/quote] If they get confused and lose their faith just because of a fiction movie, they didnt have faith to begin with..... how can you have faith without knowing the opposing viewpoints? if we just shut ourselves out to absolutely every opposing view, is it really faith? if you dont know how to dispute these ideas, how much more will you fall? and those who get more agitated from the movie would just get the same amount of agitation and such just from watching the news
