The DaVinci Myth vs. The Gospel Truth - Online Christian Library

THE GOSPEL TRUTH
cific prophecies. They are not vague, they could not have
been made after the events, and they could never have
been known by the people who made them.
THE BIBLE’S INDESTRUCTIBILITY
The indestructibility of Scripture is another proof
that it is divinely inspired. For 2,600 years all the powers
of this world have combined to destroy this book, and
yet it still remains. The Da Vinci Code is simply the
latest attack. I doubt it will be the final one.
One person has said that the indestructibility of the
Bible is like the Irishman’s wall. One Irishman built a
wall four feet high and five feet thick around his farm.
Someone asked him why he made it so thick. He replied,
“If anyone knocks it over, it will be higher than it was
before.” Now this does not prove the Bible was written
by an Irishman (as sad as that may seem for a Kennedy),
but it does show the remarkable hand of God.
In 303 A.D., Emperor Diocletian, one of the last great
persecutors of the Church, saw that the Bible was the
source of courage for Christians who opposed his paganism.
He ordered the confiscation of all Christian property
and the destruction and burning of all Scriptures.
Only ten years passed before Diocletian was dead and
Constantine the Great had risen in his stead to sit upon
the throne of Rome. He professed to trust in Christ as his
Savior. He ordered the writing of many copies of the
Scripture and encouraged everyone in the Roman
Empire to read the Bible of the Christians.
Another former skeptic is author Ralph Muncaster.
