The controversy with the code

The Da Vinci Code opened this weekend to a slew of bad press and reviews. Most critics state that the overall story and acting is bad at least. The good news though about the movie is that it has spawned conversations about who Christ was and who He is. Since I work a lot out of my van, I listen to talk radio in the afternoons and sometimes in the mornings as a way to catch up on the current events facing our nation. Listening to one such talk show last week discussing the movie, something not only caught my attention but also got me upset. A lady called in saying she was a believer, and had a question for the radio host about the movie. Her issue was this, since Christians are so pro family, why would they be so upset over the possibility of Jesus being married, as the Da Vinci Code suggests? The radio host, who I suspect from listening to him has some religious belief, agreed with her! He replied to her that since Christ stood for everything pure, what a powerful statement it would of been had he been married, it would of shown the world the importance of a union between a man and a woman and confirmed His humanness. And what harm would it of been after all? There was only ten minutes left on his show and I didn't have his number otherwise I would of called in. There would of been much harm done! First of all, In the Bible, the book of First Peter, 1:19 says that we've been redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus. The word used for 'precious' means esteemed and held in honor. When you research it, you come to the conclusion that what makes His blood precious is that it was pure blood, holy blood. The sin nature of man from the beginning of time is passed through the blood. But not so with Christ, since He was created by the Holy Ghost in His mothers womb, no sin nature was passed to Him. Now back to my original question, what harm would there of been had Christ been married and fathered children? Since His blood was pure, without sin, then His children would also of been born with that same supernatural blood that Christ had, therefore they also would be born sinless, and thus also God. Yes Christ was both man and God, man in that He had a human body and dealt with the same issues that we as humans deal with, God in that He was pure, sinless, and the Son of God. The fact He walked this earth in a human body is all the humanness He needs, His purpose was to redeem us, so we could once again fulfill the divine purpose of God's reason for creating us, and that was and is for fellowship. I don't fear anything Hollywood puts out concerning Christianity and our Faith, it actually helps to garner interest among the lost, and opens a door of dialog that we must walk through. So I say to Hollywood, BRING IT ON! That my friends is the reality of things!
