It’s interesting; a lot of these programs and books leading up to the release of the movie version of The Da-Vinci Code are one-sided. Yeah, there are a lot of good rebuttals, but hey, I don’t like talking about stuff that I already agree with. Anyway, we’ll just act like the good rebuttals don’t exist.
All these people on the liberal side seem to think that what’s going on now is something new. They act like the Gnostic Gospels were just discovered. In reality, the Church has known about these things for many, many years; and condemned them. The Gnostics were very active in the early days of Christianity, trying to undermine its influence with a bunch of legends. Just because they wrote fiction back then too, doesn’t mean that we need to accept those things as fact.
The real, true, canonical Gospels were written either by people who had extensive contact with apostles, or were apostles themselves. The remarkable unity in the story of these four (lacking in the Gnostic books) is tremendous evidence to their authenticity.
Another big lie perpetrated by liberals is that Paul and Peter were in disagreement with each other, and had “different versions of Christianity.” Yes, Paul had to rebuke Peter for being embarrassed to eat with Gentiles in front of Jews; but Peter obviously repented of that as evidenced by his later writings.
The books and “documentaries” now are just attempts by modern day Gnostics to undermine scripture and the Christian message. The Da-Vinci Code just goes under the cloak of being fiction.
Note: I saw a PBS show on early Christianity, and it was interesting that they didn’t interview one evangelical or conservative. There were just people from Harvard, Yale, and Union Seminary: bedrocks of Christianity. (They don’t even believe the Bible)
