There's Something About Mary (257A)
Speaker: James Emery White
Date: 1/1/1900
References: Galatians 1:7-8
Introduction:
  • Dan Brown’s novel is extraordinarily popular.
  • Brown makes four radical claims that contradict the teachings of Scripture.
Were Jesus and Mary married?
  • The book suggests Jesus married and had a child with Mary Magdalene.
  • There is no historical evidence that Jesus had that kind of relationship.
  • Brown desires to promote the idea of the sacred feminine.
Are the Gospels wrong?
  • Brown claims the church has suppressed 80 alternate gospels.
  • The New Testament gospels are the authentic accounts of Jesus.
Is Mary pictured in The Last Supper?
  • Brown claims there are hidden messages in the Da Vinci painting.

    • -The Apostle John is not Mary in disguise.
    -The absence of a chalice does not mean Mary was the Holy Grail.
    -Illustration: Documents detailing Da Vinci’s secret society were forgeries.
Did the church invent Jesus' divinity?
  • Brown misrepresents what happened at the Council of Nicea.
  • The earliest records of Jesus’ life present his claims to be divine.
  • Illustration: The Nicene Creed was developed in response to the unacceptable teachings of Arius.
Conclusion:
  • If Christianity is true, it will stand up to all scrutiny.
  • The Da Vinci Code is filled with inaccuracies and sloppy research.
  • Galatians 1:7–8, 11–12
  • The Da Vinci Code needs to be broken because it distorts the truth.
