The DaVinci Code? More like the DaVinci LIE!!

renee1258:

Why do so many people who believe in sola scripture, believe in the davinci code? That is all I have to ask.

#1 It is anti-Catholic, they like anything that brings doubt to the validity of the Catholic Church because it bolsters their postition that they don’t need Apostolic authority to explain morality and Scripture. They have taken Scripture which came out to Sacred Apostolic Tradition, yet have thrown out the rest of Tradition it came out of.

#2. They seem to believe that however someone wants to interpret Scripture is just fine because the Holy Spirit will lead them. Admitting that someone could read Scripture and come up with something wrong is like admitting that their theology is not fool proof. Of course, for people of a specific denomination, if someone does not come up with the same theology as *their *church, they are suddenly taking it out of context. I went to my friend’s nondenominational Scripture study and it was amazing how so many people came up with off the wall meanings for the same scriptural passage, and nobody corrected anyone according to historical or eveidence in other Scripture.

#3. People who follow Sola Scriptura are more susceptable to accepting a heresy such as the gnostic gospel of Thomas because the Catholic Church declared it a heresy. They already took the Catholic Bible (Greek version) in the 16th century and changed it and formed their own protestant cannon to fit *their *theology the way they saw fit. If someone comes to them and says “This is the Gospel of Thomas, the Catholics have been hiding it from us” they will be tempted to buy into it because they don’t trust the Catholic Church.

This is what I can come up with, anyway.

Leonardo DaVinci was apparantly using scripture as a guide.
Certainly many details came from his imagination -as they do with any artist.
But the moment he was depicting was a scriptural moment.

Mel Gibson was not an eye-witness to the crucifixion - yet look at the artistic feat he has accomplished.

When artists manage to move your soul they must be good.

My point that if it was Mary Magdalen in the painting it does not matter, because he was not a credible source.

Absolutely. Of course I think it is sad people are rewriting history concerning Leonardo DaVinci.
They are attributing motivations to him with no evidence. All the true historic evidence proves otherwise.
Many are being misled into believing he had certain intentions that he never had.

and if the beardless apostle is really Mary Magdalen, then where is the missing apostle???
