This is just a collation of findings after reading Josh Mcdowell - A Quest for Answers and ‘The DaVinci Code - Separating Fact from Fiction’ from the Discovery Series by RBC Ministries.
1. Opus Dei: Catholic lay organisation, nothing to do with documents of the Priory of Sion which
2. Admitted by Pierre Plantard in 1993 that these documents were fabricated
3. Bible: 66 books written by 40+ authors. Old Testament was recognised before Jesus’ time and the New Testament gospels were written within first century unlike the Gnostic Gospels that were written in second &/ third century.
4. Council of Nicea was convened by Emperor Constantine but he did not lead the Council. It was convened as there was this guy, Arius, who was claiming that Jesus was not an eternal God. The Council did not debate about whether Jesus is divine cos there’s no question about that.
5. Emperor Constantine was baptised before his death only because there was this belief that a baptism before death would cleanse all the sins committed in one’s lifetime. (wrong belief, and btw, Constantine was converted in AD312 not at his death).
6. No hint of Jesus being married in the gospels or in the early historical records.
That’s all folks!
