the da vinci code- true or just fiction?

Subjective. There is no proof either way. Open our minds to the possibilities that there may be something to it. Have you seen proof that what you read in the Bible is shall we say...Carved in stone truths???????????????We need to be open to broader views and possibilities,seeking answers that are sometimes not the norm,or in some cases,not what you want to hear!

The truth of the book can be challenged in two things. First, the claims of Brown that is it based on historical facts are not historical at all. The Priory of Sion, as Brown describes it, did not exist. The Priory of Sion was a small group of disaffected right-wing anti-semitic monarchists founded in 1956 in France. They forged the documents Brown describes in this book, and snuck them into French libraries. The fraud was widely exposed in the early 1970’s in France. Repeat: There was no Priory of Sion for Leonardo to belong to or to hide secrets.

Second, Dan Brown also completely misrepresents biblical history. He tries to argue that "history is always written by the winners. When two cultures clash, the loser is obliterated, and the winner writes the history books—books which glorify their own cause and disparage the conquered foe" (page 256). As what we have known, anyone who knows anything about Christian history knows that the early Christians were anything but "winners." The early Christians were fiercely persecuted by the Roman authorities (as well as by Jewish authorities). Christianity itself was outlawed by the Romans in the second century, and in the third and early fourth centuries, there was widespread persecution and murder of Christians. Some Christians were thrown into the arena to be eaten by lions, to the entertainment of Roman citizens who were watching. Other Christians were tied up on poles, drenched with fuel, and lit as streetlamps at night. The fact that New Testament writers gave their lives in defense of their writings says something. No one chooses to die for something that was made up out of thin air!

Allow me to refer you to references that will give answers to your questions so you too will find the real truth about the Da Vinci Code.

fiction but contradicting...

no one can really tell the events of 2000 years ago. our only source are the writings of people that live in that era. like the people living today, there are those who have hidden agendas that write about the things they saw. but instead of the actual events, they wrote things that would glorify or demonize the poeple/events of that time depending on their agenda. people who follows jesus will glorify him in their writing and people who persecute jesus will demonize him. the only safe way to know what is real is to believe in what you believe is real. you cannot trust anyone else but yourself. especially when you dont know the agenda of people around you. sounds paranoid i know but that is how it is. you cant get wrong when you follow your own instinct.

fiction

just a work of some active imagination

it's pure fiction!!!

it is true
this was around the corner for some time .
but dan brown wrapped it in the correct toffee
and distributed along.
thats y it became a hit despite hurting the
religious sentiments of the largest religious community in the world.

Its a good book but is just fiction even though it might make you question some aspects of Christianity. We will never know exactly what happened 2000 years ago and the bible is all we have to go on.

The Da Vinci Code and The Bible are both 'Fiction' - but the New Testament was written closer to the time of its subject matter so has a few more reliable historical strands to it than the Da Vinci Code. (The historical Authentic Jesus tradition for example - where the key cross reference-able facts are woven together to get to the historical truth - or as close as possible).

It is a wonderful work of fiction, with a bit of fact thrown in for good measure. Dan Brown does state which bits are factual in the book.

The da vinci code is just fiction.
