How to respond to false Doctrines like Dan Brown’s book ‘Da Vinci Code’

What was the real intention of Leonardo in painting the ‘Last Supper?’
And it is proved with the references, the mystery written in the Holy Bible
that Jesus was not married when He was in this world

"Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let
him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God,
for he will abundantly pardon." Isaiah 55:7

A WORD

Dear Brother and Sister in the Lord, I really Praise the Lord for this book is in
your hands. While I was writing this book, I understood through the Holy Spirit
how great His grace is.

As it is written in the Word of God, “One is so near to another, that no air can
come between them. They are joined one to another, they stick together, that
they cannot be sundered.” Job 41:16-17 (KJV), the things written in this book
same way joined together, one is so near to another, and they are in
chronological order. Therefore, instead of reading here and there please read
paragraph after paragraph and page after page according to your convenience
so that you can understand fully the truth of the Gospel.

In the name of our Lord, I thank every Brother and Sister and all the Churches
that prayed for this Book. May God bless You.

WHY IS THIS BOOK WRITTEN?

Greetings to all of you that are in Christ Jesus. I thank God for the Grace and
peace we receive from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

As it was written in the Word of God, many false doctrines, fiction books and
movies are appearing in these last days against our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ. We all know how "The Da Vinci Code" book and the movie created so
much mess in this World recently. I heard some messages from the TV
pertaining to the Book and movie. I also read some books written as a response
to this matter. As I was meditating these things on May 4, 2008 at night, the
Lord revealed to me how to respond to these false doctrines as real followers
of Christ and according to the will of God. As the Holy Spirit inspired me, I
would like to share this will of God to every believer concerning these false
doctrines. Therefore, I write this small book.

"But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the
apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be
mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These
be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit." Jude 1:17-
19 (KJV). "And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many
books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh." Ecclesiastes
2
12:12 (KJV). According to these scriptures false doctrines, books against the
truth come continually. The best example for this is, what the film director
James Cameroon recently declared and we have seen in Newspapers that they
found the tomb of Christ and His bones.

Many servants of God, according to the grace given to them and according to
the knowledge they received from God, wrote some books and preached
regarding these false doctrines. Praise the Lord and May God Bless them.

The main object of this book is not to criticize or degrade any of them but to
declare how to respond to these types of doctrines when we face them
whether now or in future according to the will of God.

REBUKE THEM

The false doctrines regarding our Lord Jesus Christ are not strange things to a
believer. These false accusations were there even in the days of our Lord Jesus
Christ. However, the thing is that they are growing more and more in these last
days. If we observe carefully how Jesus responded to these false accusations
when He faced, we also can learn how to respond to them in the same manner
so that we can fulfill the will of God. Therefore, let us meditate these things
in the light of the Word of God.

When Jesus was in a town, a person who was sick of palsy, lying on a bed was
brought to Jesus. Jesus saw their faith and told him "Son, be of good cheer; thy
sins be forgiven thee." Then certain of the scribes said within themselves, this
man blasphemed. Jesus understood their thoughts, rebuked them and to set
them right said, "The Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins."
Mathew 9:1-9.

Some other day a person possessed by the devil, dumb and blind was brought to
Jesus. When Jesus had compassion and healed him, he began to speak and see.
Then the people that were there said accusing, "this fellow cast out the devils
by Beelzebub the prince of devils." Then Jesus rebuked them and said "But if I
cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto
you." Please read Mathew 12 : 22-37.

Another time when Jesus was preaching in a synagogue, there was a woman
who had a disease for eighteen years; she was bent and not able to make
herself straight. Jesus saw her, laid His hands, and healed her. Since that was
Sabbath day, the officer of the synagogue was angry with the people and Jesus.
Many were against Jesus. Nevertheless, Jesus rebuked them saying, "Thou
hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from
the stall, and lead him away to watering? And ought not this woman, being a
daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be
loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?" Please read Luke 13:15-16 (KJV).

3
If we observe the above three incidents carefully, we see that Jesus rebuked
and scolded the people when they could not understand His teachings and
His works properly. By this we can perceive that even today being the
followers of Jesus it is our responsibility to rebuke them that fail to understand
properly the doctrines and teachings of Jesus Christ. Let us see what the Bible
says, "I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall
judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the
word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all
longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure
sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves
teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the
truth, and shall be turned unto fables." 2 Timothy 4:1-4 (KJV). Therefore, we
should respond to them in the same way that Jesus responded, for this is the
will of God.

THE TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL

However, my Brother and Sister in the Lord, we need to consider one more
important thing. Our Lord Jesus Christ did not respond them every time just
as we have seen. We can see in the Bible, surprisingly, another way of
response of Jesus. This is a great Gospel.

Jews, scribes, Pharisees and rulers arrested Jesus on Passover night to kill Him
on the Cross and made ready their false accusations against Jesus. They took
Jesus first to Annas the High Priest that Jesus might be judged, later they took
Him to Caiaphas the High Priest and then to Pilate the Governor and then to
King Herod and again to Pilate. We should carefully meditate how Jesus
responded when all these rulers judged Him and accused Him falsely.

When Jesus was with Annas many accused Him with false allegations. What was
the reaction of Jesus? Please see. “And the high priest stood up in the midst,
and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these
witness against thee?” Mark 14:60. “But he held his peace, and answered
nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the
Christ, the Son of the Blessed?” Mark 14:61. Though they brought so many
false witnesses, He did not give them any answer. He did not respond at all.

When Jesus was before Pilate, again they brought many false
witnesses. Did Jesus respond to these people? Please see this
scripture. “And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou
nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.
But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.”
Mark 15:4-5. Jesus did not give any answer to any of those
accusations that Pilate was amazed. Here also He did not
respond at all.

When they took Jesus to King Herod, he questioned Jesus many things. Did
Jesus give any response? Please see, “And when Herod saw Jesus, he was
exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he
4
had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done
by him. Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him
nothing.” Luke 23:8-9. Again, here also, He did not respond at all.

Dear Brother and Sister in Christ, as we have seen three occasions earlier, Jesus
rebuked all of them that could not understand His doctrines and teachings.
Then why Jesus did not open His mouth and give any reply in these three
occasions?

One interesting thing we should notice here is that when Annas the High Priest
asked Jesus, “I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be
the Christ, the Son of God” (Matthew 26:63), Jesus immediately opened His
mouth and gave answer saying, “Yes I am”. Same way when Pilate the
governor asked Him, “Art thou the king of the Jews?” Jesus opened His mouth
and replied to him, “Yes I am.” Matthew 27:11. Is not this something
interesting? We need to meditate these things to understand the True Gospel.

First, we see why Jesus responded immediately on some occasions. The

question Annas asked Jesus was “Are you the Son of God?” We all know the
truth that Jesus is the Son of God. When Jesus was baptized God said, “And lo
a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well
pleased.” Matthew 3:17. This is the testimony God Himself gave. Therefore,
the words came from the mouth of Annas were truth. Hence, to confirm his
words of truth Jesus opened His mouth and said, Yes I am. Moreover, Annas
said, “I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the
Christ, the Son of God”, which means Annas put Jesus on oath, by the living
God. Now Jesus had to give answer to honor His Father, therefore, Jesus
opened His mouth and gave reply.

Then, Pilate’s question was “Art thou the king of the Jews?” We all know the
truth that Jesus was the King of Jews. When Jesus was born the wise men came
to Jerusalem and said, “Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for
we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.” Matthew 2:2.
The words came from the mouth of Pilate were truth. Hence, to confirm the
words of truth Jesus opened His mouth and said, Yes I am.

What we have understood by these things is, JESUS ALWAYS RESPONDED TO

THE TRUTH. The Word of God confirms this, please see, “Give ear, for my
words are true, and my lips are open to give out what is upright.” Please see
the next verse, “For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an
abomination to my lips.” Proverbs 8: 6, 7 (BBE).

As we meditated the three occasions in the beginning, Jesus told to the man of
Palsy “Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee." Jesus words are true.
He healed the person possessed by the devil by the Spirit of God and said “But
if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto
you." Jesus words are true. He healed the Woman who was sick for eighteen
years and said, “And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham,
whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on

5
the Sabbath day?" Jesus words and deeds are true. Unfortunately, when the
people failed to understand the truth, Jesus rebuked them and set them right
by opening his mouth and telling the right things.

Now we have to see why Jesus did not open His mouth and give any reply to
Annas the High priest, Pilate the Governor and Herod the King. There are two
reasons for this. The first reason is to fulfill the Scriptures that were written
about Him, “He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his
mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her
shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.” Isaiah 53:7. Jesus fulfilled
this Scripture concerning Him.

The second reason and important thing is we know that they brought many
witnesses, accusations, allegations and charges against Jesus. Is there any
truth in these witnesses, accusations, allegations and charges? Are not all
false witnesses, false accusations, false allegations and false charges? There is
no truth in them. Please see, “Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the
council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death; But found
none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last
came two false witnesses, And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the
temple of God, and to build it in three days.” Matthew 26:59-61. Jesus who
said, “I am the truth” (John 14:6) did not respond, reprove and give any
reply to these lies.

We know from where these lies come, please see what Jesus said, “Ye are of
your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a
murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no
truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar,
and the father of it.” John 8:44. Now see this scripture, “and what fellowship
to light with darkness? and what concord to Christ with Belial? or what part to a
believer with an unbeliever?” 2 Corinthians 6:15. According to this Scripture
why should He respond them? Do you know what God desires? “Behold, thou
desirest truth in the inward parts:” Psalms 51:6. Since there was no truth in
their hearts, Jesus did not respond them. We have seen and proved that
JESUS ALWAYS RESPONDS ONLY TO THE TRUTH.

Please understand this truth. Lies are of two kinds. First one is, perverting the
truth. For example, see what the serpent told to Eve, “Yea, hath God said, Ye
shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” Genesis 3:1 (KJV) Satan perverted
the words of God. God said, “Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely
eat: 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of
it: Genesis 2:16-17 (KJV) Jesus rebuked all of them that perverted the
truth.

Second one is, creating false words. All that Jews made before rulers and
officers were false accusations. Lord did not respond them.

Da Vinci Code belongs to this second category.

6
DA VINCI CODE

Now let us meditate about the Book “Da Vinci Code” written by Dan Brown.
We all know that the Book is all about Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene and
their physical relations. Dan Brown claims that a painter called ‘Leonardo Da
Vinci’ painted this secret in his picture, popularly known as “The Last Supper”,
with a code. Therefore, they named it DA VINCI CODE. We know how much
confusion this Book brought among the people and believers. Is there any
TRUTH in this Book? Did not God already speak through His servants in the
Bible regarding this kind of false doctrines and writers? “Da Vinci Code” is the
extreme false doctrine against our Lord among all the false doctrines we have
seen so far.

The proof for this is Dan Brown’s false accusations

against Jesus, while God said very clearly, in His
Scriptures about our Lord Jesus Christ, “We need a
chief priest who is holy, innocent, pure, set apart from
sinners, and who has the highest position in heaven.”
Hebrews 7:26 (GW). One wonderful and marvelous
thing is that God already proclaimed in His Holy
Scriptures before hand about this book and all the contents that would be
written by Dan Brown. If we read this verse, we will be amazed really.

Please read this verse very carefully, “As I urged you when I was going to
Macedonia, remain at Ephesus that you may charge certain persons not to
teach any different doctrine, nor to devote themselves to myths and
endless genealogies, which promote speculations rather than the stewardship
from God that is by faith. 1 Timothy 1:3-4 (ESV). According to this Scripture,
is not this Book written by Dan Brown a different doctrine? Is not this Book
myth and fable? Is not this Book dealing with meaningless genealogies? (Dan
Brown wrote in his book that Jesus had children and His genealogy remains
today) Is not this Book promoting the speculations? Therefore, this Scripture is
warning us not to pay any attention to and devote ourselves to these false
doctrines and books.

Now see what the Bible proclaims concerning the writers like Dan Brown. “If
any man gives different teaching, not in agreement with the true words of our
Lord Jesus Christ, and with the teaching which is in agreement with true
religion, He has an over-high opinion of himself; being without knowledge,
having only an unhealthy love of questionings and wars of words, from which
come envy, fighting, cruel words, evil thoughts, Bitter talk of men who, being
evil in mind and dead to what is true, take the faith to be a way of making
profit.” 1 Timothy 6:3-5 (BBE). Therefore, the Bible very clearly says that
writers like Dan Brown do not have knowledge and are dead to the TRUTH.

Jesus who gave the TRUE definition of adultery, saying, “Ye have heard that it
was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto
7
you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed
adultery with her already in his heart.” Matthew 5:27-28 (KJV), when the
whole world was under the impression that it was adultery if a man does sin
with a woman physically. If so, who will believe if some say He married Mary
Magdalene secretly and did sin?

The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught
committing adultery. Then Jesus said, “He that is without sin among you, let
him first cast a stone at her.” Then all went away. “When Jesus had lifted up
himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are
those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord.”
Though Jesus has the power to punish her, Jesus said unto her, “Neither do I
condemn thee: go, and sin no more.” John 8:1-11 (KJV). When Jesus said, go
and sin no more to that woman, who will believe if some say He did sin with
Mary Magdalene?

We know that Jews always sought the reasons to kill Jesus. When they finally
brought Him to Pilate, why did they not accuse Jesus that He did sin with
Mary Magdalene?

Pilate that judged Jesus, why said, “Behold, I bring him

forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in
him?” John 19:4 (KJV). When Pilate sat down on the
judgment seat, why did his wife sent unto him, saying,
“Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have
suffered many things this day in a dream because of him”?
Matthew 27:19 (KJV). Are not all these things proving
that Jesus is righteous and all that Dan Brown wrote in his book are false
accusations?

So my Brothers and Sisters, is there any necessity for us to react or give

response either to Dan Brown or any other writers like him? Is it the will of
God? When Jesus did not open His mouth to the liars, we being the followers
of Christ why should we respond to these false doctrines that are not TRUE?
Please remember JESUS ALWAYS RESPONDS ONLY TO THE TRUTH.

JESUS WAS NOT MARRIED

Dan Brown claimed in his book that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and had
children. By the grace of the Lord, I would like to share the mystery that was
written in the Holy Bible that Jesus did not marry when He was in this world.

Please read this, “And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on the mount Zion,
and with him a hundred and forty and four thousand, having his name, and
the name of his Father, written on their foreheads." Revelation 14:1 (ASV).
These men are from the twelve tribes of Israel. They bear the names of our
Lord and the Father; which means they put on our Father and our Lord Jesus
Christ.
8
What are they doing? Please see, “These are they which follow the Lamb
whithersoever he goeth.” Revelation 14:4 (KJV). If Jesus goes right side they
go that way, if Jesus turns left side they turn left side, wherever He goes they
go there. They are perfect followers of JESUS CHRIST.

How are they? “And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without
fault before the throne of God.” Revelation 14:5 (KJV). Why are they without
guile and fault? Is it because of their righteousness? No, they are men like you
and I and redeemed from the earth. Then why are they without guile and fault?
The reason is JESUS whom they are following is without guile and fault and
Jesus made them so!

Now see this Verse, “These are they which were not defiled with women; for
they are virgins.” Revelation 14:4 (KJV). They are virgins because they did
not marry. Then why were they not defiled with women and are virgins? If they
are without guile and without fault because they are following Jesus Christ,
as it proved earlier, are they not virgins and not defiled with women because
of JESUS whom they are following is not defiled with woman and is virgin?
Halleluiah! If Jesus is defiled with women and not a virgin, where is the
necessity for these hundred and forty four thousand men being virgins, to
follow Jesus? Are not these men without guile in their mouth declaring this
world that Jesus is not defiled with women and a virgin? Praise God.

See what more the Bible says about these men, “These were
redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God
and to the Lamb.” Revelation 14:4 (KJV). They are the
first fruits of God and the Lord Jesus. We know from where
fruits come, they come from the trees. These men are as
fruits and Jesus our Lord is as the tree (John 15: 2). Now see
what Jesus said, “Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men
gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth
forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree
cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good
fruit.” Matthew 7:16-18 (KJV). If Jesus is like a corrupt tree by defiling
Himself with women, how can He bring them forth as fist fruits without
being defiled with women?

Are not these things proving without any doubt that Jesus is Virgin? Praise
the Lord.

THE WILL OF GOD

Let us see another truth of the Gospel. “Blessed are ye, when men shall revile
you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for
my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven:
for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.” Matthew 5:11-12
(KJV). According to this Scripture, when people like Dan Brown say false things
9
against our Lord and us, are not we blessed people? When Satan used Dan
Brown to reproach our Lord, is not our God, who is in Heaven using the same
Dan Brown to make us blessed people in Christ Jesus? How many of us really
rejoiced when this Book or movie was released?

See what the Apostles did when they were persecuted and rebuked falsely.
“And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten
them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and
let them go. And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing
that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. And daily in
the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus
Christ.” Acts 5:40-42 (KJV). Even we being the followers of Jesus Christ should
rejoice that we are counted worthy to suffer shame for His name. This is the
will of God. Therefore, dear Brother and Sister rejoice for we are really
blessed People.

FORGIVE THEM

We need to understand another truth of the Gospel.

When Jesus preached they did not understand Him
properly, when He did the Miracles and the works of
God they did not receive them in the right way. They
criticized, mocked and disgraced Him. We saw how He
was falsely accused before Annas and Pilate. When He was being abused and
mocked, did He abuse and mock in return? See what the Bible says, “He did no
evil, and there was no deceit in his mouth: To sharp words he gave no sharp
answer; when he was undergoing pain, no angry word came from his lips; but
he put himself into the hands of the judge of righteousness:” 1 Peter 2:22-23
(BBE). We all know what He said when they were killing Him on the Cross.
“Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.”
Luke 23:34 (KJV). Praise the Lord, How merciful our Lord is! Though He has
the power to destroy them, He did not do that. Because He knew that, they did
not know what they were doing and He as well knew that they were in the
bonds of Satan and were in the darkness. Therefore, Jesus prayed for them for
forgiveness.

Same way, my Brother and Sister in the Lord, even Dan Brown did not know
what he was doing. Satan used him for his works and he blinded his mind. (2
Corinthians 4: 4) When they reviled Jesus, He reviled not again but loved them
and forgave them. We being God’s children, we ought to love and forgive
people like Dan Brown and we need to pray God that they may understand the
Truth; this is the will of God in Christ Jesus.

Is not our God able to change these people? Did not Jesus come to save people
like these? Did He not change Saul to Paul? Jesus said, “For the Son of man is
come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke 19:10 (KJV). We need to
10
pray for the salvation of these false writers for they are lost. When we obey
and do the will of God, we will see later how God does the miracles in the lives
of these people.

LEONARDO DA VINCI

Now let us see about ‘Leonardo Da Vinci’ who painted “The Last Supper”. He
painted this picture between 1495 AD and 1498 AD. Though many artists
painted the same picture, this particular piece of art became so famous that
we can see this model picture in many Christian houses today. We need to
understand, with what motive he painted “The Last Supper”. Was there any
Scripture base for him? Yes, please see, “When Jesus had thus said, he was
troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one
of you shall betray me. Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of
whom he spake. Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples,
whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask
who it should be of whom he spake.” John 13:21-24 (KJV). This is the
Scriptural base for Leonardo Da Vinci to paint the picture.

Leonardo Da Vinci might not be a great believer or righteous man, who is

righteous for that matter? As the Word of God says, “For all have sinned, and
come short of the glory of God;” Romans 3:23 (KJV), we need not bother
about his personal life. Nevertheless, out of his talents received from God he
painted a beautiful picture for the Glory of God.

There were no controversies about this painting until 19th and 20th Century.
Mostly these differences started from the imaginary tale books like ‘Da Vinci
Code’. Did anybody really bother about these differences before this Book and
Movie? Leonardo did not paint this picture with any Code nor did he tell at
anytime that he had such intention. All these are only personal
interpretations and the will of men.

The person who is on the right side of Jesus in ‘the Last Supper’ picture is
Apostle John. He was the youngest disciple among the twelve. For this reason,
Leonardo did not sketch the mustaches and beard to this character. People like
Dan Brown misinterpreted Apostle John as a woman, especially as Mary
Magdalene. This is absolutely an imaginary tale of Satan who put it in the heart
of Dan Brown.

Unknowingly some people mistook 'Leonardo' along with Dan Brown for his
misinterpretations. How can Leonardo be responsible for all the false
interpretations that came after 500 years of his painting? Please read John
13: 21-24 and now prayerfully see the 'The Last Supper' painting and you can
understand how he painted it with good intentions. In addition, you can also
understand the craftiness of the Satan. “The Last Supper” picture on the cover
page of this book is original paint of Leonardo Da vinci.

GOD'S WORKS
11
Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord, we have seen the truth of the Gospel. If
we really obey the truth of the Gospel, please see how God does His works.

Absalom wanted to kill his father David because he wanted to have the throne
unlawfully. David ran for his life to the wilderness along with his servants and
soldiers. At this moment there came out a man of the family of the house of
Saul, whose name was Shimei, he came and cursed David and he cast stones at
David, and at all the servants of king David. Please see what he did. " And thus
said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou
man of Belial: The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of
Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the
kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy
mischief, because thou art a bloody man." 2 Samuel 16:7-8 (KJV).

In the same way, people like Dan Brown with out any good reasons are casting
the stones at our Lord of Lords and King of Kings and making so many false
accusations. There was no truth in the words of Shimei; so are the words of
Dan Brown.

Then, see what the servants of David said when Shimei cast the stones. "Then
said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse
my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head." 2 Samuel
16:9 (KJV). They were so angry because he cursed their king that they called
him ‘dead dog’ and were even ready to kill him.

Many people did the same thing when Dan Brown wrote his Book against our
Lord. But see what King David said, "What have I to do with you, ye sons of
Zeruiah?" 2 Samuel 16:10 (KJV). What does it mean? David was saying, 'my
thoughts are different from yours, my deeds are different from yours' and he
stopped them to do, as they desired.

Even our God says so unto us, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither
are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the
earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your
thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9 (KJV). Is it not true my Brother and Sister! Once Jesus
entered into a village of the Samaritans but they did not receive Him. Then the
disciples were very angry and said, "Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to
come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?" Luke 9:54
(KJV). They wanted to destroy them but Jesus rebuked them saying, "But he
turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are
of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them.
And they went to another village." Luke 9:55-56 (KJV). Therefore, it is not the
will of God that we should curse anybody.

In continuation, see what David said to them. "Let him alone, and let him
curse; for the LORD hath bidden him. It may be that the LORD will look on
mine affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this
day." 2 Samuel 16:11-12 (KJV). And David stopped them from killing Shimei
12
and allowed him to curse more and more. Was not David a great servant of
God?

Our Lord is telling the same thing to us, "But I say unto you which hear, Love
your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and
pray for them which despitefully use you." Luke 6:27-28 (KJV). Yes my Brother
and Sister, let Dan Brown write more and more books against our LORD, as for
us we need to Love and pray earnestly for the people like Dan Brown.

Since David did the will of God what happened at the end? Firstly, God
destroyed Absalom’s counsel, delivered David from the hands of Absalom and
gave back the Kingdom to David. Secondly and importantly, when David was
returning home, God did a great thing. "And Shimei the son of Gera fell down
before the king, as he was come over Jordan; And said unto the king, Let not
my lord impute iniquity unto me, neither do thou remember that which thy
servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem,
that the king should take it to his heart. For thy servant doth know that I have
sinned: therefore, behold, I am come the first this day of all the house of
Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king." 2 Samuel 19:18-20 (KJV). Praise
the Lord!

Once his hands cast the stones at David but the same hands
now touched the feet of David. Once his mouth cursed
David but now the same mouth asking for the forgiveness
and confessed his sins. How wonderful are the works of
God!

If we all pray together with one accord for Dan Brown and people like him,
would not God be ready to make their mouth to confess their sins and give
them a heart to ask for the forgiveness before our LORD? See what the
Scripture says, "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his
thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him;
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon." Isaiah 55:7 (KJV). Amen! As
for me, I believe strongly and pray that one day the same Dan Brown would
turn to Jesus Christ for forgiveness. Whether he turns unto God or not, whether
he asks God for forgiveness or not it is up to God but as for us, we need to pray
for them with out ceasing.

There is no end for these false doctrines and false writers; they will be there
until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Let there be any number of false
writers, we have to respond in the same way as we have meditated according
to the truth of the Gospel.

A VISION

Finally, I would like to share a vision that God gave me

concerning these false doctrines and writers.

13
The Sun was rising and sending his light fully unto this world. There was a man
who stood on the way and stretch forth his hand against the Sun. He was there
in the same manner for a long time. A man observed all this, came to him, and
enquired what he was doing. Then this man replied and said, “I am stopping
the rays of the Sun that they may not fall on the earth.” The second person
understood how foolish this man was and went away from him. Even we too
understood how foolish this man was. The person who is not even able to stop
the rays of the Sun to fall on his body, how will he be able to stop the rays of
the Sun that they may not fall upon the earth? How foolish it is! Is there any
use if one has an argument with him?

My Brother and Sister in the Lord, if it is impossible and foolish thing to stop
the rays of the Sun, how much more it is impossible and foolish thing to stop
the rays of the Sun of righteousness who is our Lord and who is thousands
and thousands times brighter than the sun?

People like Dan Brown are trying to do the same thing. We know how foolish it
is. Thousands and thousands of Dan Browns may come and go but they
cannot stop the rays of righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ. The more
they try the more He will shine, so we need not bother about these false
doctrines and false writers. As for us, let us fulfill the will of our God and move
forward patiently for the reward from our Lord.

“Now unto him that is able to keep us from falling,

and to present us faultless before the presence of his
glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our
Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power,
both now and ever.” Amen.” Jude 1:24-25 (KJV).
