Ray Hanania Online Column: DaVinci Code Is Less Code and Much More Thought

Nog 'n perspektief op die Da Vinci Code ...

Recently, I read a book on the Gospel of Judas, which offers the story of Jesus from the eyes of Judas, who Christianity has blamed for betraying Jesus to the Roman Soldiers, leading up to his arrest and crucifixion. Well, according to this Gospel, which the Church has known about for centuries, Judas claimed that he was asked by Jesus to turn him in to set up the betrayal and strengthen his story.

Whoa!

That’s radical. But who knows? Maybe it is true.

Why are we so afraid to embrace something that offends us even if it may be true?

We should always seek the truth. Watching the movie “The DaVinci Code” doesn’t undermine our beliefs in Jesus, but it does force us to debate issues based on truth.
