What does this mean? I'm not sure, except many are curious. Once the movie was out, some Christians encouraged others to see it and speak intelligently and clearly about why the movie is wrong. I'll admit, I haven't read the book or seen the movie. I will say though, I have read up on it and have asked many questions and seen previews (that was enough for me). We did have a copy of the book and no one thought it was worth reading because it was so bizarre and very far from the truth. I'm shocked that Tom Hanks decided to do this movie, I have read on the net that he was once a Christian and went to bible studies. Interesting, isn't it, that two of the most trusted actors in the movie industry would both be involved with this misleading movie? We are living in some interesting times, some say the end and I say we are in a battle every moment and every second. Stay strong, keep the faith and run the race!!!

As obvious as it seems, I still hope this film was not made to educate people about a different path My Lord Jesus Christ took - because it's false. READ THE BIBLE - there is no word. If the film was made to entertain.....how entertaining would you find it to see the most important force in your life fictionilized? Why take the very core of good in our lives, the very hope of eternal life and do what this film has done to it? One answer - the work of the antiChrist. "I WOULD RATHER LIVE MY LIFE WITH JESUS AS MY SAVIOR AND LIVE AN ETERNAL LIFE WITH HIM THAN LIVE MY LIFE AS IF THERE IS NO JESUS AND SUFFER THE ETERNAL DEATH AND DARKNESS" Why would you do this, Mr. Hanks and Mr. Howard?

That's right: if a one movie ca shutter your faith, then it aint very strong, is it? I liked the movie, and you know what, I dont see how or why the faith should shutter even if Jesus had kids.

Hall! Mr Brown claims that the contents of "The Da Vinci Code" is based records that he obtained through extensive research. His novel draws "heavily on the sacred feminine..." and his editor truly understands "what this book is all about..." Reread the "acknowledgments" in the book: Mr Brown has an agenda. Maybe he just wrote a polemic book that would generate a lot of publicity and a lot of money; or he could be pinpointing the sacred feminine; or he is just letting his wild imagination to run free. Who knows? I have my guess. I strongly support the answers the church is giving on this matter: They have to say something after all! The media is responsible for all the publicity. By the way, I also fell comfortable in my faith. Helen, Talking about Satan, Did somebody tell you that Satan is not involved yet? I have learned since my early days in the church that Satan would always be working to deceive us, to separate us from God. This book and this movie might not be affecting you, but they are certainly affecting a lot of other people. Come on L. Hall!

If a book or movie will shake your ground, I'd shudder to think what Satan would do to you.

As Sherry said above every knee will bow and we will all be accountable for how we lived on this earth. I feel sorry for anyone who has had any part in this movie. The Lord will be judging you upon hia glorious coming so I pray that you will repent of this dispicable sin and start living the way Christ wants you to live! As Christians our family will not support this movie nor the book ever. Unfortunatly many people will want to "see" what the movie is really like and that just adds to the popularity of the movie. I pray that the movie will be a flop and disaster from the beginning. I am pleading with everyone especially Christians to not support this movie in any way. If you want to know the "real" story about Christ read the Holy Bible. It will lead you down the path that leads to eternal life in Heaven and not to destruction in Hell.

I got on this page trying to find a way to contact Hanks and Howard. I have always admired both of them and loved their work. I am extremely disappointed in them for doing this. Surely they have enough money by now that they don't have to prostitute themselves this way. I just wanted to say that I agree with Anita Stone.

Thinking he was awesome. Until now! I would of never guessed him to be this naive and fall to the hands of destruction of Satan. I guess that is where fame and fortune get you, no where. No where but on this earth, where he will stay for all eternity. How sad! But in his demise (acting career) he probably never guessed that he was being pulled away from the hand of God. But to profess his ignorance to all before God. I think I could of made it easier for him by giving him a rope. I have also grew up watching Tom Hanks on the screen most of my life.
