I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough. 2 Cor 11:3-4

Filed under:Christian Apologetics, Church and State—Stephen M. @ 6:43 pm

Patrick Henry

It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians;
not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
For this very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of worship here.

The Da Vinci Code - a Christian Perspective

Filed under:Christian Apologetics—Beau @ 8:53 pm

Dan Brown’s book The Da Vinci Code has sold over 40 million copies. Through his novel, he has questioned the traditional origin and view of Christianity.

Dan Brown presents an alternate view that includes:

  • That Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene who had a child who escaped to France.
  • Mary Magdalene was to head the church, but Peter and the other disciples took over.
  • Jesus was turned into God - in order to protect the patriarchal system, the Catholic Church along with the rest of Christianity has worked together to maintain this 2000-year cover up.
  • The secret of Jesus True Identity is maintained by a group known as the “Priory of Sion”, that has existed since 1099.
  • The Da Vinci Code also claims that the Church repressed certain earlier books from being in the Bible
  • That it borrowed many of its ideas, such as a resurrected savior and Sunday worship from pagan religions.

Get solid answers to this alternate view from a Christian perspective with New Testament Historian Mike Licona.
