Contemplating...

Last night while my sister and I were watching Euromax in the German channel, they have featured the "Da Vinci Code" having mixed feelings in the Catholic Religion whether or not it's a good idea for Catholics like myself read these kinds of books.

This actually got me thinking. Is it really bad if we find out Jesus was married and had children? Is it really bad if we find out that the person who would supposedly lead the Christians was Mary Magdalen instead of Peter?

I myself wouldn't mind if Jesus and Mary Magdalen were married. It would even strengthen my faith more in God. Why you may ask. Well, I would rather worship a God who had experience what we have experienced rather than someone who is we put in a pedestal and look upon all day. I mean, it goes to show how much God loves us, because he let his only son experience everything that we need to experience in life. How can we understand God's goodness if he himself doesn't know what's going on in our lives? The fact that God's only Son was sent here to be with men, to experience what we are experiencing. Why send his son here by natural means if He wouldn't let him experience what we have been experiencing? How can Jesus say he loves us if he hasn't experience love himself? Yes I know there are different kinds of love but shouldn't our Lord experience all the kinds to really understand how we love? He was human after all even if he was born Divine.

I heard my sister mentioned to me that one of her officemates doesn't want to read the book because it would shatter her faith. I wonder about that as well. I mean, if you have a strong faith to begin with, why would you be worried about fictitious stories such as the "Da Vinci Code"?

I know that it's fiction. I know that it's not true. But I keep wondering why people are fussing over this? I mean, is it really bad if we find out Jesus was married? How can it change our lives?

Think about it? How bad will it affect us? Sure we'll be mad at the Church because they kept this from us but what would it accomplish? Did anything change because of it? For me it didn't. In fact, it even strengthen my faith even more.
