2006 Soap Box Archives The Da Vinci Deception 05/12/06 To say that Dan Brown is a talented author would be an understatement. I have thoroughly enjoyed his work and read practically everything he’s written but when I got about half way through the Da Vinci Code I closed it up and put it down. The premise is so erroneous and has prompted a rash of anti Jesus literature, some old, some new but all misleading and having one thing in common; they all question the divinity of Jesus Christ. The very idea that Jesus had a girlfriend or wife and children would be laughable if the consequences of actually believing it were not serious. How could this have happened and escaped the notice of apostles and historians of that era. The answer is simply that it didn’t happen. Some of these writings even suggest that the crucifixion of Christ was rigged and that he didn’t die on the cross but was given drugs, taken down from the cross and spirited away by the other collaboraters in the plot. One claims that Judas turned Jesus in to the San Hedrin because he knew that was what Jesus wanted him to do. If this were so, why would the Bible call Judas the son of perdition? It was foretold that Jesus would be betrayed but the Bible never said who would betray him and God doesn’t play tricks on people. I believe that Judas did this of his own volition and for his own reasons. But
I’ve got a feeling that this is only the beginning of the
anti There was a supposed scientific study a while back, which concluded that prayer doesn’t help sick people. Well I’m here to tell you that study is wrong. I know because I’ve had prayer work in my life. I don’t know how the study was conducted but I wonder if it included all religions. If it did, there’s no wonder it didn’t work. When you pray to some god who doesn’t even exist there’s no way it can do any good. Abraham’s father was a maker of heathern idols and one day while his father was away Abraham took a hammer and destroyed all the idols except the biggest one. Please allow me to paraphrase a little: when the father came home he was somewhat perturbed to find his work destroyed and asked his son what on earth had happened to all the idols he had made. Abraham told him that the big idol had taken the hammer and pulverized the smaller ones. His father said something to the effect that it was impossible. Whereupon Abraham said, “That’s the point pop, that’s the point.” There’s only one God and one Son of God and his name is Jesus and no amount of blasphemous writings and intellectual quibbling can change that fact. Pray for our troops. What do you think? God Bless America Charlie
