I didn't plan to make comments on this topic - "Da Vinci Code" but after reading KK's blog, let me share something here...

No matter how brilliant the author is or how perfectly woven the decoding seemed to be, the idea of this book made me sick. Same thing happened to me since 2004 that many people asked me if I had read the book. Needless to research any further after a short summary of the story, my first reaction was, “what the heck is this?” and I drew my final conclusion - I don’t want to have anything to do with it. - Yes, I am subjective, so? I don’t need another mere story to tell me otherwise.

I understand that it could be a good opportunity to probe people to think about God and Christ, and it could be a great chance to show the world that Christians are fearless to a fabricated entertaining story. Of course, I would be more than happy to answer questions and point them to the Words of God. Nevertheless, it wouldn’t be my intention to win the crowd through knowledge and argument because it is as well futile.

A friend of mine told me that she rather believed in the Jesus of Da Vinci Code than the Jesus of the Bible because the story made sense. I didn’t blame her. For it is easier to pick up “proof” and “explanation” than to pick up our own “cross”. Last year, another friend of mine asked me, “wasn’t Jesus married?” I think my face turned dark at once and blurted out loud a big “No”. My anger was not toward my friend but the source of lies.

If you are a big fan of Da Vinci Code and ready to seek the truth… I would suggest you to read the Bible. You’ll find the same excitement, murderous schemes, secrets, laughter, tears, blood, and mysterious encounters. But better, you’ll find life, victory, hopes, joy, and Christ the Lord Jesus personally. The best thing is – it is not a fiction, it is His-tory, the whole truth.

“Matthew24: 3 Now as He (Jesus) sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” 4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many… 23 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand. 26 “Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.”

... I don't know about you but I am looking at the eastern sky.
