You know, 2000 years from now, it will be called the "Gospel of Da Vinci" and a new religion will spring forth from this book of lies...

The Da Vinci Code is a great book if you like mystery and suspense filled detective stories. It's got all the necessary ingredients to create a book that will keep you up all night reading it. But you have to understand that it is just fiction. The Teaching Company put out a one hour lecture on this book by a Dr. Urlich(I think that was his name). He's a professor of comparative religions at the University of North Carolina and one of the premier experts of early christianity in the world. He said that though it was a great read, there is virtually nothing in it at all that's true. My thoughts are that it's a good read until that professor Teabing comes on the scene. From that point on there's about 6 historical errors on every page. The New York Times had it right. They had it listed #1...........on the New York Times FICTION book list.

Dan brown saw a good idea how to make a lot of money on a fictitious story. Leonarda Da Vinci was a homosexual.

You can be absolutely confident that what was written in the Bible about Jesus is accurate, and its accuracy has been confirmed by scholars (both Christian and non-Christian) repeatedly over the centuries.
After all, who had a stronger desire to preserve and pass along accurately the message of Jesus than the first Christians? They believed He alone was the Son of God, sent from heaven to save us from our sins. They also believed nothing was more important than obeying His command to "go and make disciples of all nations ... teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:19-20). What possible motive could they have had to change Jesus' message or suppress the facts about His life? The only logical answer is: none.
Instead, they diligently wrote down the record of Jesus' life and teachings (under the guidance of the Holy Spirit). Luke, for example, began his Gospel by assuring his readers that he had taken pains to be sure it was accurate: "I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning" (Luke 1:3).
Don't let anything shake your confidence in what God has given us in His Word, the Bible. Most of all, don't let anything shake your confidence in Jesus Christ, who alone came down from heaven to save us from our sins.
