1
The Da Vinci CodeThe Real Conspiracy Revealed
  • Jeff Chacon
  • John Oakes

2
A Very Popular Book
  • 21 in the US have read the book.
  • 25 of those say it was a helpful spiritual
    document.
  • 2 million American say they changed one or more
    religious beliefs because of the content of the
    book.

3
Why So Popular?
  • A great read
  • Great suspense
  • A smart premise
  • Intelligent writing style, yet not over head of
    readers
  • A love interest
  • Titillating controversy
  • A slap at authorities we love to hate
  • A subtle appeal to our own pride to be smarter
    than those in power

4
So, is it a good book?
Trailer for the movie Seek the truth
  • A lot of research behind this book
  • Very bad scholarship underlying the premises of
    the book

5
The fictional conspiracy of the book
  • Quote from The Da Vinci Code
  • almost everything our fathers taught us about
    Christ is false. (page 255, DVC)

6
The Premise of the Da Vinci Code
  • Jesus Christ was married to Mary Magdalene. Their
    royal bloodline is still in existence today
  • A secret society known as the Priory of Sion has
    guarded and protected this truth for over one
    thousand years
  • The conservative Roman Catholic lay group Opus
    Dei is in a murderous conspiracy to cover up the
    truth about Jesus and Mary Magdalene

7
The Premise of the Da Vinci Code (cont.)
  • The early church worshiped the Holy
    feminine/mother goddess. Mary represents the
    holy femininerepresenting the divine goddess.
  • The early church believed Jesus Christ was just a
    manthat he was not deity.
  • Emperor Constantine changed Christianity. He
    created the myth that Jesus is God. He threw out
    most of the gospelsonly keeping those of a small
    segment of Christianity which agreed with his
    premise.

8
The premise of the Da Vinci Code (cont.)
  • Western Christendom is a conspiracy of epic
    proportions.

9
But what is the real conspiracy?
  • The Real conspiracy is that of Dan Brown.
  • His co-conspirator is Satan himself.

10
The real conspiracy of the book
  • We need to liberate ourselves from monotheism and
    sexism - the worship of only one God and a male
    one at that the God of the Bible!

11
The real conspiracy of the book
  • We need to liberate ourselves from the worship of
    Jesus as the God the Son!

12
The real conspiracy of the book
  • We need to liberate ourselves from the ignorant
    belief that the Bible is inspired and
    authoritative!

13
The real conspiracy of the book
  • Then we can be free to worship several Gods and
    Goddesses as the Israelites and the early
    Christian Church supposedly did before this
    massive cover-up.

14
  • Lets piece this hidden puzzle together as we
    read excerpts from The Da Vinci Code (DVC) and
    ask ourselves this question
  • Where is Dan Brown really leading us?
  • (Note some of this material appears in the book,
    but not in the movie.)

15
Excerpt from DVC
  • The point here, Langdon said, motioning back to
    the bookshelf, is that all of these books
    substantiate the same historical claim.
  • That Jesus was a father. Sophie was still
    uncertain.
  • Yes, Teabing said, And that Mary Magdalene was
    the womb that carried his royal lineage. The
    Priory of Sion, to this day, still worships Mary
    Magdelene as the Goddess, the Holy Grail, the
    Rose, and the Divine Mother. (page 275, DVC)

16
Excerpt from DVC
  • At its heart, the quest for the Holy Grail has
    always been a quest for Magdalene the wronged
    Queen, entombed with proof of her familys
    rightful claim to power. (page 278, DVC)

17
Excerpt from DVC
  • Teabing spoke more quietly now. The quest for
    the Holy Grail is literally the quest to kneel
    before the bones of Mary Magdalene. A journey to
    pray at the feet of the outcast one, the lost
    sacred feminine. (page 277, DVC)

18
Excerpt from DVC
  • Sophie, Langdon said, the Priorys tradition
    of perpetuating goddess worship is based on a
    belief that powerful men in the early Christian
    church conned the world by propagating lies
    that devalued the female and tipped the scales in
    favor of the masculine Constantine and his male
    successors successfully converted the world from
    matriarchal paganism to patriarchal Christianity
    by waging a campaign of propaganda that demonized
    the sacred feminine, obliterating the goddess
    from modern religion forever (page 133, DVC)

19
Excerpt from DVC
  • we are currently in an epoch of enormous
    change. The millennium has recently passed, and
    with it has ended the two-thousand-year-long
    astrological Age of Pisces the fish, which is
    also the sign of Jesus. As any astrological
    symbologist will tell you, the Piscean ideal
    believes that man must be told what to do by
    higher powers because man is incapable of
    thinking for himself. Hence it has been a time
    of fervent religion. Now, however, we are
    entering the age of Aquarius the water bearer
    whose ideals claim that man will learn the truth
    and be able to think for himself. The
    ideological shift is enormous, and is occurring
    right now. (pages 289-290, DVC)

20
The real conspiracy
  • The real conspiracy in The Da Vinci Code is where
    author Dan Brown is leading his readers.
  • But is this really where we want to go?

21
The real conspiracy
  • Replace religion with humanism and place our
    trust and confidence in ourselves rather than in
    God?

22
The real conspiracy
  • Extol the virtues of atheism as the supreme
    enlightenment and laud nature worship and
    polytheism as a step in the right direction?

23
The real conspiracy
  • Praise pagan sexual fertility rites as
    appropriate worship?

24
The real conspiracy
  • Here is the type of worship
  • that this book exalts
  • and commends to the reader
  • Note in the movie, it is a brief flashback that
    Sophie (the main female character) has of seeing
    her grandfather engaged in a pagan sex ritual.

25
Excerpt from DVC
  • He (Langdon) explained that although what she
    saw probably looked like a sex ritual, Hieros
    Gamos had nothing to do with eroticism. It was a
    spiritual act. Historically, intercourse was the
    act through which male and female experienced
    God. The ancients believed that the male was
    spiritually incomplete until he had carnal
    knowledge of the sacred feminine. Physical union
    with the female remained the sole means through
    which man could become spiritually complete and
    ultimately achieve gnosis knowledge of the
    divine. Since the days of Isis, sex rites had
    been considered mans only bridge from earth to
    heaven. (page 335, DVC)

26
The real conspiracy
  • Group sex is a spiritual act?
  • Immorality is how we experience God?

27
  • No wonder the Apostles warned us about the
    destructive teachings of the Gnostic heretics!

28
2 Peter 21-3 and Gnosticism
  • But there were also false prophets among the
    people, just as there will be false teachers
    among you. They will secretly introduce
    destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign
    Lord who bought thembringing swift destruction
    on themselves. 2Many will follow their shameful
    ways and will bring the way of truth into
    disrepute. 3In their greed these teachers will
    exploit you with stories they have made up. Their
    condemnation has long been hanging over them, and
    their destruction has not been sleeping.

29
The real conspirator
  • But this is not about author Dan Brown
  • Satan is the real conspirator behind
  • The Da Vinci Code

30
2 Corinthians 211
  • in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we
    are not unaware of his schemes.

31
Satan seduces us to sin
  • (DVC) Is it surprising we feel conflicted about
    sex? he asked his students. Our ancient
    heritage and our very physiologies tell us sex is
    natural a cherished route to spiritual
    fulfillment and yet modern religion decries it
    as shameful, teaching us to fear our sexual
    desire as the hand of the devil. (page 336, DVC)

32
Satans scheme revealed
  • According to The Da Vinci Code the reason we feel
    conflicted about sex is that modern religion has
    taught us to be ashamed of our sexuality and fear
    it as from the Devil. But our pagan ancestry and
    the cravings of our human physiology tell us that
    sex is a cherished route to spiritual
    fulfillment.

33
Satans scheme revealed
  • Sex is a cherished route to spiritual
    fulfillment?

34
Satan seduces us to doubt
  • 2 Corinthians 113-4
  • But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by
    the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be
    led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to
    Christ. 4For if someone comes to you and preaches
    a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if
    you receive a different spirit from the one you
    received, or a different gospel from the one you
    accepted, you put up with it easily enough.

35
Satan seduces us to doubt
  • (DVC) Sophie looked skeptical. My friends who
    are devout Christians definitely believe that
    Christ literally walked on water, literally
    turned water into wine, and was born of a literal
    virgin birth.
  • My point exactly, Langdon said. Religious
    allegory has become a part of the fabric of
    reality. And living in that reality helps
    millions of people cope and be better people.
  • But it appears their reality is false.

36
Decoding The Da Vinci Code
  • Lets explore
  • 10 false claims
  • in The Da Vinci Code

37
FALSE CLAIM 1
  • Christianity is simply a compilation of pagan
    religions such as Mithraism and Mystery Religions
    such as the Greek Cult of Dionyssus

38
Excerpt from DVC
  • Nothing in Christianity is original. The
    pre-Christian God Mithras called the Son of God
    and the Light of the World was born on December
    25, died, was buried in a rock tomb, and then
    resurrected in three days. The newborn Krishna
    was presented with gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
    Even Christianitys weekly holy day was stolen
    from the pagans. Originally, Christianity
    honored the Jewish Sabbath of Saturday, but
    Constantine shifted it to coincide with the
    pagans veneration day of the sun. He paused,
    grinning. To this day, most churchgoers attend
    services on Sunday morning with no idea that they
    are there on account of the pagan sun gods
    weekly tribute Sunday. (page 252, DVC)

39
The Truth
  • Brown offers no evidence for this
  • Others make these claims. They fall into two
    categories
  • Vague parallels which prove nothing
  • Mithra supposedly performed miracles (even though
    he is clearly a mythical figure)
  • Ideas borrowed from Mithraism from Christianity,
    not the other way around.

40
The TRUTH
  • No wonder the early Church apologist, Justin
    Martyr (160 A.D.) referred to the Mithraic meal
    as a Satanic imitation of the Lords supper.
    (First Apology, 66)

41
Josh McDowell quote
  • With Christianity exploding onto the scene of
    the Roman Empire, it is evident that other
    religions adopted certain teachings or practices
    from Christianity in order to stem the tide of
    departing adherents and/or to attract Christians
    to their side.

42
The Bottom Line
  • The god Mithra is a myth. This person never
    lived, so any parallels are spurious. Jesus
    really lived and he really did the things
    recorded in the gospels.

43
The TRUTH
  • And the claim that Originally, Christianity
    honored the Jewish Sabbath of Saturday, but
    Constantine shifted it to coincide with the
    pagans veneration day of the sun (DVC) is
    equally absurd.

44
The truth on Sunday worship
  • Acts 207 On the first day of the week we came
    together to break bread.
  • Revelation 110 On the Lords Day I was in the
    Spirit
  • From the first century, all available evidence,
    both biblical and extra-biblical, even from
    non-believers proves the church always met on
    Sunday.
  • Dan Brown is not mistaken. He is lying!

45
Justin Martyr quote
  • The early church father, Justin Martyr (100-165
    A.D.), confirms that the 2nd Century church
    continued to meet on Sunday well before the time
    of Constantine
  • And on the day called Sunday there is a
    gathering together in one place of all those who
    live in cities or in the country, and the memoirs
    of the apostles or the writings of the prophets
    are read

46
The TRUTH
  • In summary, it is a false claim to say that
    Christianity is a compilation of pagan religions.
    The truth is that many pagan religions imitated
    Christianity.

47
FALSE CLAIM 2
  • Nobody worshipped Jesus as God before the Roman
    Emperor, Constantine, made it mandatory. Jesus
    is simply a mortal man, not the Son of God.

48
Excerpt from DVC
  • Constantine turned Jesus into a deity who
    existed beyond the scope of the human world, an
    entity whose power was unchallengeable. It was
    all about power the early Church literally stole
    Jesus from his original followers, hijacking His
    human message, shrouding it in an impenetrable
    cloak of divinity, and using it to expand their
    own power. (page 253, DVC)

49
Excerpt from DVC
  • (speaking of the Council of Nicaea, in 325 A.D.)
    My dear, Teabing declared, until that moment
    in history, Jesus was viewed by His followers as
    a mortal prophet a great and powerful man, but a
    man nonetheless. A mortal.
  • Not the Son of God?
  • Right, Teabing said, Jesus establishment as
    the Son of God was officially proposed and
    voted on by the Council of Nicaea. A relatively
    close vote at that. (page 253, DVC)

50
The TRUTH
  • From the very beginning of Christianity, Jesus
    was worshipped as the Son of God, some 300 years
    before Constantine and the Council of Nicaea in
    325 A.D.

51
The Truth
  • John 11,2,14 The Word was God
  • John 852 Before Abraham was born, I AM
  • Titus 213 Our great God and savior, Jesus
    Christ
  • Colossians 115-20 He is the image of the
    invisible God.
  • Colossians 29 In him all the fullness of deity
    lives in bodily form.
  • John 2027 Thomas My Lord and my God
  • And many more.
  • The Bible says Jesus is God.

52
Reliability of text
  • This passage from the gospel of John (chapter
    one), known as the Rylands Papyrus, has been
    discovered in an ancient manuscript, and has been
    carbon-dated at 125-135 A.D.
  • This is forensic evidence, scientific proof if
    you will, that Jesus was clearly believed to be
    God at least 200 years before Constantine and the
    Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D.

53
The early church fathers were unanimous about the
deity of Jesus
  • Justin Martyr wrote of Christ, being the
    first-begotten Word of God, is even God. (First
    Apology, Ch. 63)
  • Irenaeus (A.D. 130-200) wrote about Christ, our
    Lord, and God, and Saviour, and King. (Irenaeus,
    Against Heresies, bk. 1, ch. 10)

54
The TRUTH
  • Constantine did not turn Jesus into a deity in
    order to give the church more power. That is a
    false claim. The truth is that Jesus was
    worshipped as God by the Apostles and the early
    Christian church since the very beginning of
    Christianity, and that worship has continued to
    this day.

55
1 John 222
  • Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that
    Jesus is the Christ

56
FALSE CLAIM 3
  • The four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John)
    were personally selected by Constantine in 325
    A.D. at the Council of Nicaea, to be included in
    the Bible because they were the only gospels that
    emphasized Jesus divinity and downplayed his
    humanity.

57
Excerpt from DVC
  • Aha! Teabing burst in with enthusiasm. The
    fundamental irony of Christianity! The Bible, as
    we know it today, was collated by the pagan Roman
    emperor Constantine the Great. (page 251, DVC)

58
Excerpt from DVC
  • More than eighty gospels were considered for the
    New Testament, and yet only a relative few were
    chosen for inclusion Matthew, Mark, Luke and
    John among them. (page 251, DVC)

59
Excerpt from DVC
  • Constantine commissioned and financed a new
    Bible, which omitted those gospels that spoke of
    Christs human traits and embellished those
    gospels that made Him godlike. The earlier
    gospels were outlawed, gathered up, and burned.
    (page 254, DVC)

60
The TRUTH
  • Matthew, Mark, and Luke were written before AD
    70 John before AD 85.
  • The church chose the canon of scriptures in the
    first and second century AD.
  • The Muratorian fragment has been dated to 180 AD.
    It mentions all the New Testament books except
    Matthew and Mark (but it says Luke is the third
    gospel), Hebrews, James, 1 and 2 Peter and 1 John
    as being inspired and therefore having apostolic
    authority.

61
The TRUTH
  • The early church father, Irenaeus, only about 100
    years after the four orthodox gospels were
    written, referred to them in his book, Against
    Heresies, saying that it was fitting that she
    (the church) should have four pillars. Later on
    he speaks of them as the Gospels in quadriform.
    (Ch. 3.11.8)

62
When was the canon scripture assembled?
  • The letters known as the Epistle of Barnabus, the
    Didache and the Letter of Clement of Rome have
    all been dated from around 100 AD. These authors
    quote from Matthew, Mark, Luke, Acts, Romans, I
    Corinthians, Ephesians, Titus, Hebrews, I Peter
    and others. The early church father Ignatius was
    martyred in 115 AD. In a set of letters he
    composed on his way to his execution in Rome, he
    quoted from nearly every New Testament book. 
  • Virtually the entire New Testament can be
    recreated from church father quotes pre AD 200.

63
Did Constantine create his own list of inspired
scripture in AD 325 at the council of Nicea?
  • Answer
  • The New Testament Canon was developing by AD
    100 and was virtually set and unchanged after AD
    200. 125 years before Nicea.

64
FALSE CLAIM 4
  • The Gnostic gospels (referred to as the Sangreal
    documents in the DVC) are unaltered, written
    before the orthodox gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke
    and John), and written by the early followers of
    Jesus.

65
Excerpt from DVC
  • The Sangreal documents simply tell the other
    side of Christs story. (they are) the Purest
    Documents thousands of pages of unaltered,
    pre-Constantine documents, written by the early
    followers of Jesus, revering Him as a wholly
    human teacher and prophet. (page 277, DVC)

66
The TRUTH
  • The Purist Documents? Hardly. The Gnostic
    gospels were forgeries claiming to be written
    by the apostles, but actually written by
    imposters over 100 years later.

67
The TRUTH
  • The Gnostics were never part of the mainstream of
    Christianity. They followed a combination of
    Greek philosophy and the mystery religions.
  • The Gnostics taught that the God of the Old
    Testament was an evil God, unlike the God of the
    New Testament.
  • The book of 1st John was written to oppose the
    Gnostic false teaching that Jesus did not have a
    physical body. That which our hands have
    touchedthis we proclaim.

68
The Gnostic Gospels
  • The Gospel of Thomas. Written about AD 150.
    Definitely not written by Thomas. A forgery.
  • 122 They said to him, "Then shall we enter the
    kingdom as babies?" Jesus said to them, "When you
    make the two into one, and when you make the
    inner like the outer and the outer like the
    inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you
    make male and female into a single one, so that
    the male will not be male nor the female be
    female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a
    hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a
    foot, an image in place of an image, then you
    will enter the kingdom.
  • 1114 Simon Peter said to him, "Let Mary leave
    us, for women are not worthy of life. Jesus
    said, "I myself shall lead her in order to make
    her male, so that she too may become a living
    spirit resembling you males. For every woman who
    will make herself male will enter the kingdom of
    heaven.

69
The Gnostic Gospels (cont.)
  • The Gospel of Judas was written about AD 170.
  • Obviously, Judas did not write it.
  • Judas was Jesus closest apostle.
  • Judas did a favor to Jesus by betraying him. But
    you ie. Judas will exceed all of them.  For you
    will sacrifice the man that clothes me.
  • Are these the purest documents about Jesus?

70
FALSE CLAIM 5
  • Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married.

71
Excerpt from DVC
  • As I said earlier, the marriage of Jesus and
    Mary Magdalene is part of the historical record.
    (page 265, DVC)

72
Dan Brown Da Vinci is hinting at the secret
Mary Magdalene was at the Last Supper
73
The apostle John of Mary Magdalene?
74
(No Transcript)
75
Raffaelos John the Apostle, 1503
76
Hans Baldung St. John the Evangelist c. 1515
77
Juan de Juannes 1445-1450 John the Evangelist
78
The TRUTH
  • The speculation that Jesus and Mary Magdalene
    were married or romantically involved at all is a
    complete fabrication, and certainly not part of
    the historical record as author Dan Brown
    asserts.

79
The TRUTH
  • There is a single verse in a Gnostic writing
    (The Gospel of Philip not written by Philip)
    that says Jesus kissed Mary. But greeting
    friends with a holy kiss was common in the Bible
    (1 Corinthians 1620 Greet one another with a
    holy kiss), and had no sexual connotation. But
    even if that is what this Gnostic gospel writer
    had in mind, the Gospel of Philip is a forged
    document, written 150-220 years after Christ by
    an unknown author. So, its statement about Jesus
    isnt historically accurate, and there is no
    other historical document to confirm this theory.

80
FALSE CLAIM 6
  • God has a powerful female equal named
    Shekinah, and to experience wholeness with this
    deity, men must have sex with temple prostitutes
    as a pathway to union with God.

81
Excerpt from DVC
  • Early Jews believed that the Holy of Holies in
    Solomons Temple housed not only God but also His
    powerful female equal, Shekinah. Men seeking
    spiritual wholeness came to the Temple to visit
    priestesses or hierodules with whom they made
    love and experienced the divine through physical
    union. The Jewish tetragrammaton YHWH the
    sacred name of God in fact derived from
    Jehovah, an androgynous physical union between
    the masculine Jah and the pre-Hebraic name for
    Eve, Havah. (page 336, DVC)

82
The TRUTH
  • Shekinah? Advocating sex with temple
    prostitutes? Are you kidding? (No, Dan Brown is
    not kidding.)
  • Can you imagine Moses advocating sex with
    prostitutes in the tabernacle?
  • The Hebrew word Shekinah means the glory of God.
    The idea that this is a reference to the female
    God is a total fabrication.

83
FALSE CLAIM 7
  • The Bible is not inspired by God, and the New
    Testament is historically inaccurate and
    therefore unreliable.

84
Excerpt from DVC
  • The Bible is a product of man, my dear. Not of
    God. (page 250, DVC)
  • presenting to the world thousands of ancient
    documents as scientific evidence that the New
    Testament in false testimony the New Testament
    is based on fabrications. (page 369, DVC)

85
The Truth
  • The Bible is by far the most reliable book of
    ancient history we have.
  • Luke is a historian of the highest order.
  • The evidence for the resurrection of Jesus is
    overwhelming. (www.evidenceforchristianity.org)
  • Krishna is a myth, Mithras is a myth, Dionysus is
    a myth, Isis is a myth. Jesus was a very real
    person.

86
FALSE CLAIM 8
  • That the term heretic was born at the Council
    of Nicaea in 325 A.D. and referred to those who
    chose the forbidden gospels over Constantines
    version (DVC).

87
Excerpt from DVC
  • An interesting note, Langdon added. Anyone
    who chose the forbidden gospels over
    Constantines version was deemed a heretic. The
    word heretic derives from that moment in
    history. (page 254, DVC)

88
2 Peter 21
  • But there were also false prophets among the
    people, just as there will be false teachers
    among you. They will secretly introduce
    destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign
    Lord who bought thembringing swift destruction
    on themselves.

89
FALSE CLAIM 9
  • Author Dan Brown asserts that Christianity
    demonized Mary Magdalene in order to suppress her
    influence.

90
The TRUTH
  • Amy Welborn, in her USA Today article, 5 Biggest
    Flaws in Da Vinci, points out that Mary
    Magdalene is a saint. In every Gospel, she (Mary
    Magdelene) is cited as the first person to find
    the empty tomb. She was the second-most revered
    saint of the Middle Ages, after Mary, Jesus
    mother. Thats an odd way to demonize.

91
The TRUTH
  • Ironically, the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas, one
    of Dan Browns primary sources for his allegation
    of sexism in the orthodox gospels, has passages
    in it that thoroughly demean women.

92
From The Gospel of Thomas
  • (supposedly quoting Peter) Let Mary go away from
    us, because women are not worthy of life.
  • Then Jesus allegedly tells Peter that he will
    make Mary male so that she may enter the kingdom
    of heaven.
  • Not much of a battle cry for womens rights, and
    yet the Gospel of Thomas is one of the primary
    sources for Dan Browns feminist agenda.

93
FALSE CLAIM 10
  • That the secret society known as the Priory of
    Sion actually existed in medieval times and had
    the noble task of protecting the bloodline of
    Christ.

94
Excerpts from DVC
  • The Priory of Sion a European secret society
    founded in 1099 is a real organization The
    modern Priory of Sion has a momentous duty they
    must nurture and protect the bloodline of Christ
    (page 279).

95
The TRUTH
  • The modern Priory of Sion was created in 1956
    by Pierre Plantard. All documents proving a
    bloodline and a list of historical Priory
    members (such as Leonardo Da Vinci) were proven
    to be forged by a French court of law.

96
Excerpt from the Wikipedia Encyclopedia on The Da
Vinci Code, continued
  • Arnaud de Sede, son of Gerrard de Sede, stated
    categorically that his father and Plantard had
    made up the existence of the Priory de Sion, the
    cornerstone of the Jesus bloodline theory to
    quote Arnaud de Sede in the programme, frankly
    it was piffle Detailed analysis of many other
    claims in the Da Vinci Code in the programme
    showed them to be unverifiable or unhistorical.

97
Conclusions
  • The entire basis of the Da Vinci Code and its
    outrageous claims is a fabrication created to
    destroy faith in the truth about Jesus.
  • Jesus Christ claimed to be God and he proved it
    by his miracles and by being raised from the dead
    on the third day.
  • The New Testament we have in our hands is Gods
    authoritative word. The books were selected by
    the church in the first century because they had
    apostolic authority.
