Chasing the Wind

News. Faith. Nonsense.


Cracking The Da Vinci Code

A followup to the Da Vinci Code heresy from yesterday, the Catholic Church put out a special report on this piece of rubbish.

Partial list of heresies in the Da Vinci Code:

  • Jesus is not God; he was only a man.
  • Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene.
  • She is to be worshiped as a goddess.
  • Jesus got her pregnant, and the two had a daughter.
  • That daughter gave rise to a prominent family line that is still present in Europe today.
  • The Bible was put together by a pagan Roman emperor.
  • Jesus was viewed as a man and not as God until the fourth century, when he was deified by the emperor Constantine.
  • The Gospels have been edited to support the claims of later Christians.
  • In the original Gospels, Mary Magdalene rather than Peter was directed to establish the Church.
  • There is a secret society known as the Priory of Sion that still worships Mary Magdalene as a goddess and is trying to keep the truth alive.
  • The Catholic Church is aware of all this and has been fighting for centuries to keep it suppressed. It often has committed murder to do so.
  • The Catholic Church is willing to and often has assassinated the descendents of Christ to keep his bloodline from growing.

While the author claims to be a Christian, a reading of his FAQ page reveals that he zigged when he should have zagged:

ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN?
I am, although perhaps not in the most traditional sense of the word. If you ask three people what it means to be Christian, you will get three different answers. Some feel being baptized is sufficient. Others feel you must accept the Bible as immutable historical fact. Still others require a belief that all those who do not accept Christ as their personal savior are doomed to hell. Faith is a continuum, and we each fall on that line where we may. By attempting to rigidly classify ethereal concepts like faith, we end up debating semantics to the point where we entirely miss the obvious-that is, that we are all trying to decipher life’s big mysteries, and we’re each following our own paths of enlightenment. I consider myself a student of many religions. The more I learn, the more questions I have. For me, the spiritual quest will be a life-long work in progress.

A true Christian knows that Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6).

  1. Perhaps the author is just trying to ignite more publicity for himself and his book by making such statements about his view of Christians & Christianity. Only problem is that Christianity is a Faith not a viewpoint. If you read and accept the Bible then it is your faith. Not just parts of it, but all of it!

  2. Just so you know, the list isn’t accurate. I think the people compiling it need to re-read the book.

    Why is it a heresy to claim that some people worship Mary Magdelene? I can see how actually worshipping her would be a heresy, but I don’t see how saying someone else does is.

    And, of course, heresy is simply going against what the Catholic church says – it has nothing to do with faith, belief in Christ, or being a Christian.

  3. The book claims only in the front cover to be fiction, but based on enough “fact” to appear true. People are flocking to museums to see this “fact” that proves Jesus lived in Europe with his children.

    The heresy is that the book teaches falsehoods about Christ. People are believing it instead of the Bible.

  4. Which novels do you know that claim anywhere BUT the cover to be fiction?

  5. Doesn’t matter. Thousands of people are flocking to the sites mentioned in the book, convinced the story is real.

About Me

Michael, a sinner saved by grace, sharing what the good Lord has shared with me.

Solomon, in the book of Ecclesiastes, said, “I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.”

If you’re not living for the glory of God, then what you’re doing is meaningless, no matter what it is. Living for God gives life meaning, and enjoying a “chasing after the wind” is a gift from God. I’m doing what I can to enjoy this gift daily.

Got questions? I’m not surprised. If you have any questions about Chasing the Wind, you can email me at chasingthewind@outlook.com.
