Da Vinci Code

[Bogeyman]

Eismann... I wonder if you were already old enough to have watched "The Last Tempatation of Christ" before. It was shown almost 20 years ago, 1988 to be exact. That movie was more blasphemous that this Da vinci code. pinakita si Jesus dun na mahina...having human weaknesses and even carnal desires for Mary Magdalene. Back then, it also generated a lot of criticism and backlash from so called devout catholics...pero just the same, napanood pa rin sya at wala namang naging Iglesia ng Last Temptation. google mo na lang siguro para malaman mo sinasabi ko.

Galit na galit si Manoling sa pelikulang yan. As far as that movie is concerned, in the end, Christ chose to go with the Divine Plan rather than give in to the temptations of being mortal. The story was the final test, and as expected, Jesus passed with flying colors.

Fanatics who call for the head of Dan Brown for portraying Jesus as a mortal don't seem to realize that the Bible itself was the first to do so. Particular evidence is Mark 14:36, depicting Christ's agony in the garden of Gethsemane: "And he said, Abba, Father, all things [are] possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt." This indicates that, even for a brief moment, Jesus himself exhibited the human traits of doubt, hesitation and fear when it came to the Father's Divine Plan, but ultimately realizes the value of the role he must assume for humanity's salvation.
