Freddie had messaged me a few days ago saying that Nishant was giving a talk about the Da Vinci Code this weekend. It was amazing. I’ve never actually concentrated on such books, but it was a real eye opener! Nishant was awesome as he pieced together the evidence against the code. He’s just over 20 years old and spoke with such authority! We were all blessed.
We also had a short time of worship.
I really wonder how easily people get deceived by mixing half facts with fiction. Satan uses some very innovative tools these days to try to destroy God – we need to be wary. Pray to God for wisdom… Amen!
The Da Vinci Code
“Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt I had to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints. For certain men whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are godless men, who change the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.“
-Jude 1:3,4
I think this passage aptly describes the purpose of the novel: to undermine Christ’s deity and, consequently, encourage a culture of immorality. From the perspective of scientific integrity, this novel pretends to state the truth whilst slyly promoting a lie. For a list of errors deliberately or otherwise made, see “The Da Vinci Myth Vs. The Gospel Truth” by D. James Kennedy and Jerry Newcombe . There are several Bible Scholars who have methodically pointed out the factual and scientific errors recorded in the book. It is rather unfortunate that the book seeks to exploit the majority of people who know little or nothing about the history of the Bible – for they have been easily conned by the fabrications promoted in the novel.
