A couple of days back, i read on the newspaper that The Phillipines is going to ban The Da Vinci Code movie that will be out next week. You can check out about the info here.Last week, Oliver, Alwin Hoo, Angeline, Sui Li and i went to this talk in PJEFC about the talk refuting the facts stated about the movie, or rather the novel written by Dan Brown. The forum, chaired by these three people of status (At times like these i wish i can find my notebook, which seems to be hidding in some place i don't know!)
Anyway, they stated a lot of fact in the story that distort history and facts from the Bible. And as i listen to them explaining about the sources for the novel, it reliability of the information and things stated in the novel, it makes perfect sense. The Da Vinci Code is no more than a conspiracy theory novel. And i hope you all know, the novel is listed under "Fiction", thus making it fictional and not real!
We came out satisfied lah. Except for Oliver, whose night was ruinned before the talk when his part of his car when into the manhole. Alwin who read the novel before was cool with the fact, and made research about it.
Apparently, even before the novel was written, there were all kinds theories that rebuke the Bible and Christianity. Check the Internet, and you'll discover that this is an age old thing going on. People accusing Christianity of wrong motives, misconducts and hearesy; such accusation as been going on for awhile.
There are movies that were ban in Malaysia, like Blade: Trinity, Kill Bill Vol.1, Underworld, Prince of Egypt, etc. You can check the list here from IMDB.com. And the reason The Da Vinci Code movie is not ban is simply because it's just a movie. Plus, if the movie was ban, it sort of implies that the chuch can't explain or defeat itself from confused movie patron. Plus, in another light, it's a way to evangelise to friends while telling them fact from fiction.
Anyway, God isn't afraid that this small, insignificant story can pull His people away from Him. And the most important thing is to be really rooted in the Bible, and not be swayed by what the world says.
Anyway, i'll be watching the movie! Do contact me if you are interested, ok?
Love & Peace!~

Actually "DA VINCI" is currently showing in several cinemas around the philippines.I think there's nothing wrong about the showing of the movie. I mean, I've got a friend who's trying her hardest of turning down invitations to watch the movie (nobody's even asking her) exclaiming that she might lost her faith in GOD if she watch it. Well, it's a good thing she's setting the alarm early knowing that she's not quite sure of her standing in FAITH material. Blessed are the christians who got the nerve to read the book....and watching the movie as well. Blessed are they if they sought the wisdom behind the very reason why this "DA VINCI" issue is arising and definitely, will come to pass too.
I see. Thanks for your two sens, dude!
But it's good that your friend is refraining herself from watching the show. It's just horrible to know that your belief and foundation is just shaked by something like that.
Therefore, it's best to know more about what you believe. Thus, ignorance is not so bliss!
