Church was good today.  Al Mohler was preaching on The DaVinci Code to help us be prepared to answer when we are asked what we think of it.  Spoilers:  The book has the following falacies in it:

• Jesus wasn't devine (the book says).  He wasn't deemed devine until the Council of Nicea, at which time the bishops present voted him devine, and "it was a close vote, at that!".  Besides the fact that we know Jesus' devinity was not determined by man and did not every have a beginning, we also know that, historically, the Council of Nicea was voting on the Nicean Creed, in which the bishops were professing their faith in what was already true.  Also, it was not a close vote--there were 301 bishops present, and only two of them did not agree to the creed, and they were later defrocked, or excommunicated, or whatever.
• Jesus was actually married to Mary Magdeline and had a son (the book says). After Jesus died, Mary took her son to Gaul, now known as Turkey, and he later became the political leader of that country, and his offspring still live there today. (Pardon my memory, for anyone who finds errors in my recollections of the story line...)  This is supposed to be this huge cover-up that has been passed down through the ages.  Well, we do not believe God would have neglected to mention that Jesus was married.  It was clear, where he was dying on the cross and asked John to take care of his mother, that Jesus was not married. If he had been, he would have assigned someone to take care of his wife and son. Marriage was not God's plan for Jesus' time here...

I know I probably butchered this. This sermon will be available free on my church's website later this week, so if anyone wants me to, I can try to post the link.  There was a lot more in it that I just can't remember right now. I plan to listen to it again myself later.

Blessings!
