Magdalene were a pair (p.329).

Leonardo Da Vinci was born in 1452.That would have made him 502 yearsold if he were to be really aGrandmaster of the Priori of Sion

The real Opus Deiwork
of Godis a RomanCatholic lay organization
that empowers lay people
to emphasize piety and
good works, instead of
focusing on the spiritualityof clergy. Its founder San
Josemaria Escriva was
born in Babastros, Spain,
in 1902. The portrayal inThe Da Vinci Code as
existing to suppress
documents of the Priory of
Sion is pure fabrication.

The Bible, as we know it today, was
collated by the pagan Roman emperorConstantine (p.231).Because
Constantine upgraded Jesus status
almost four centuries after Jesus
death, thousands of documents
already existed chronicling His life asa mortal man.Constantine
commissioned and financed a new
Bible, which omitted those gospels
that spoke of Christs human traits andembellished those gospels that made
Him godlike. The earlier [Gnostic]
gospels were outlawed, gathered up,
and burned (p.234).

Constantine could not have collectedand altered the combined evidence
of history that preceded him because
other ancient documents (beside the
New Testament that we havewhich
Brown accused Constantine fortampering them) do tell the stories of
Christ and his sufferings, death and
resurrection. And in history there is
no evidence that Constantine
ordered the burning of any Gnostic
gospels. What were burned were
Arian papers found by the Council of
Nicaea to be heretical.

Should The Da Vinci Code shaken your
Christian faith and belief? Absolutely not. DanBrown is a mere story writer by which he was
clever to deceive his readers into buying his
bestseller book because of the new
revelation that he claimed to havediscovered. Dan Brown is classified a
historical fiction writera genre of literature
writings in which imaginary characters live
within the realistic boundaries of known facts.We can safely say that Dan Brown is also a
revisionist historianone who tampers and
revise history.

In an earlier interview when asked,
How much of this novel is true?
Dan Brown said,
The Da Vinci Code is a novel
and therefore a work of
fictionEach individual reader
must explore these characters
viewpoints and come to his or
her own interpretations.
Lately, Dan Brown no longer claims the Da Vinci Code to
be fictional. Is it because money is pouring in from its
sales, attractingor rather deceivingthousand of
readers into buying the book thinking that it carries some
new historical evidences?

Do not let anyone deceive
you with foolish words; it
is because of these verythings that God's anger
will come upon those who
do not obey him.
