In light of the release of The Da Vinci Code movie tomorrow, take some time to read the passage below:
But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves.
Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)
if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
(2 Peter 2:1-9)
It's only natural that when one reads a fictionous book or watches a movie to easily believe in what one reads/sees. Even as a Christian, I was guilty of doing that 2 yrs back when I read the book and had to approach my pastor to clear some doubts.
Much has been said, much has been debated about the book. But God is God and man is....ultimately just man. I think I'd rather believe in a God who created the whole world and all 6 billion man in it, and whom I have truly experienced peace and grace from, then to believe in 1 out of that 6 billion man who only purported his own personal opinions and got away with it.
