Decoding the Code

By Bill Muehlenberg - posted Friday, 19 May 2006


And no, there was no secret society, the Priory of Sion, founded in 1099, to guard the secret of Jesus’ marriage and royal bloodline (the Holy Grail).

On and on we could go, looking at the many howlers in Brown’s book. But suffice to say the book is one long attack on the truthful claims of the world’s largest religion. Of course there is nothing new in that, but Brown has been laughing all the way to the bank with the success of his work.

So where does all this leave us? If you are fan of the book, and want to see the film, go ahead. But if you want to know the truth about Jesus, then start reading the real story in one of the four authoritative gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke or John.

And what about believers? My humble suggestion is that you see the film with a non-believing friend, then go out for a coffee afterwards, and explain the truth about who Christ actually was and what he actually did.

For those looking for an adventure, and for some startling claims, the real thing is light years ahead of the foolishness found in Brown’s book.
