Islam, Da Vinci Code, The Pentacal, & Jesus: Building Bridges
Muhammad in the Christian Context
DA VINCI CODE, THE PENTACAL, JESUS & ISLAM
By

This is a fantastic opportunity for the three Abrahamic religions to come together to solve the problems of humanity. We can use this opportunity to try to repudiate every alternate theory about Jesus or we can embrace all those who revere Jesus in different ways.
The choice is ours.
One does have to go trolling through the Louvre, and reading the coded messages of Leanardo da Vinci to find the alternatives to gospel of Paul, John, Luke and Mathew. All one has to do is to download a copy of the Bible written by none other than our very own founding father, Thomas Jefferson. We could read the writings of Sir Isaac Newton.
The same information could be retrieved from Wagner’s “sacrilegious” opera “Parsifal”. D.H. Lawrence told the same story in “The Man who died”. Robert Graves wrote about it in “King Jesus”. Servitus was burned alive by John Calvin for espousing similar beliefs. The Spanish Inquisition sought out people with these beliefs and got rid of hundreds of thousands of heretics, Muslims and Jews.
One does not have to seek out other Gospels in Naag Hammdi caves or the dead Sea scrolls. There is another option. John Damascus, a leading theologian of our times calls Islam “Heterodox Christianity.” One of the criticisms of Islam, is that it is based on the Gnostic gospels. In our times , we don’t have to go far, to find out about the other Gospels. We could ask a Muslim neighbor about their beliefs in God and Jesus. Muslims would give you the Brown/Baegent answer:
1) Jesus is the messiah.
2) Jesus is in heaven.
3) We are all God’s children.
4) The four gospels included in today’s Bible have been transformed, mainly by Emperor Constantine in the Council of Nicea in 325.
5) Feminists can find the Pentacle and Crescent, symbols of Islam displayed on all flags of almost all Muslim countries.
6) Jesus may or may not have died on the cross.
7) Jesus was a man.
Emperor Constantine’s decision in repudiating Arias and his followers did not eliminate the “Arian” beliefs. There was a sea of persecuted Arians who kept the hope alive.
Muhammad’s message resonated with millions around the world and the simple message about a monotheistic God spread like wildfire. Today Islam remains the fastest growing religion in the world and in America. Four out of five converts to Islam are women in the West.
Most Christians would be surprised to find out that the Quran has been saying about Jesus more or less what the Gnostic Gosples, the Dead Sea scrolls, the research of Michaael Bagent says. Whether it is the Bible written by one of the founding fathers of America Thomas Jefferson, or it is Holy Blood, Holy Grail or his latest writing “The Jesus Papers”, there is an overwhelming body of evidence that supports that Jesus may have survived the crucifixion. This possibility would bring the story of Jesus in the realm of reality.
This is a great opportunity for Christianity and Islam to come tighter both theologically and politically. No one is right or wrong on this. The perspective our religious leaders should take is to accept Islam as and the Muslim point of view as an alternate theory about one of the greatest phenomenon on earth, Jesus Christ. This will eliminate the animosity started by the Crusades, aggravated during the Spanish Inquisition, exacerbated by colonialism, and brought to head by our wars in the Middle East. We can use this opportunity to bring our people together or we can continue to fight about the details about the life and death of our beloved Jesus Christ.
