What does the Bible say about the da vinci code?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible does not mention The Da Vinci Code, but it clearly teaches that Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, the only Savior, and the final authority for faith is God’s inspired Word rather than speculative claims. John 1:1 identifies the Word as God, while John 14:6 declares that Christ alone is the way, the truth, and the life. Titus 2:13 calls Him “our great God and Savior,” Jesus Christ. Scripture is God-breathed and sufficient to equip His people for truth and godliness, as 2 Timothy 3:16-17 teaches. Believers should therefore examine popular religious claims carefully, holding their hope in the apostolic gospel received through God’s Word (Romans 10:17; 1 Peter 3:15).

- Romans 10:17
So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
- 1 Peter 3:15
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts; and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear:
- John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
- Isaiah 30:1-33
[1] Woe to the rebellious children, says Yahweh, who take counsel, but not of me; and who make a league, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin, [2] that set out to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt! [3] Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion. [4] For their princes are at Zoan, and their ambassadors are come to Hanes. [5] They shall all be ashamed because of a people that can't profit them, that are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach. [6] The burden of the animals of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches on the shoulders of young donkeys, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people that shall not profit [them]. [7] For Egypt helps in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I called her Rahab who sits still. [8] Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever. [9] For it is a rebellious people, lying children, children who will not hear the law of Yahweh; [10] who tell the seers, "Don't see;" and to the prophets, "Don't prophesy to us right things, speak to us smooth things, prophesy deceits, [11] get out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us." [12] Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, "Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely thereon; [13] therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly in an instant. [14] He shall break it as a potter's vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing; so that there shall not be found among the pieces of it a broken piece with which to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern." [15] For thus said the Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest shall you be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. You would not: [16] but you said, No, for we will flee on horses; therefore shall you flee: and, We will ride on the swift; therefore shall those who pursue you be swift. [17] One thousand [shall flee] at the threat of one; at the threat of five shall you flee: until you be left as a beacon on the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on a hill. [18] Therefore will Yahweh wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy on you: for Yahweh is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him. [19] For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; you shall weep no more; he will surely be gracious to you at the voice of your cry; when he shall hear, he will answer you. [20] Though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet shall not your teachers be hidden anymore, but your eyes shall see your teachers; [21] and your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk you in it; when you turn to the right hand, and when you turn to the left. [22] You shall defile the overlaying of your engraved images of silver, and the plating of your molten images of gold: you shall cast them away as an unclean thing; you shall tell it, Get you hence. [23] He will give the rain for your seed, with which you shall sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the ground, and it shall be fat and plenteous. In that day shall your cattle feed in large pastures; [24] the oxen likewise and the young donkeys that till the ground shall eat savory provender, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork. [25] There shall be on every lofty mountain, and on every high hill, brooks [and] streams of waters, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. [26] Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that Yahweh binds up the hurt of his people, and heals the stroke of their wound. [27] Behold, the name of Yahweh comes from far, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire; [28] and his breath is as an overflowing stream, that reaches even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction: and a bridle that causes to err [shall be] in the jaws of the peoples. [29] You shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a pipe to come to the mountain of Yahweh, to the Rock of Israel. [30] Yahweh will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of [his] anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast, and tempest, and hailstones. [31] For through the voice of Yahweh shall the Assyrian be dismayed; with his rod will he strike [him]. [32] Every stroke of the appointed staff, which Yahweh shall lay on him, shall be with [the sound of] tambourines and harps; and in battles with the brandishing [of his arm] will he fight with them. [33] For a Topheth is prepared of old; yes, for the king it is made ready; he has made it deep and large; the pile of it is fire and much wood; the breath of Yahweh, like a stream of sulfur, does kindle it.

[16] Every writing inspired by God is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction which is in righteousness, [17] that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
- Psalms 6:1-10
[1] > Yahweh, don't rebuke me in your anger, Neither discipline me in your wrath. [2] Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am faint. Yahweh, heal me, for my bones are troubled. [3] My soul is also in great anguish. But you, Yahweh--how long? [4] Return, Yahweh. Deliver my soul, And save me for your loving kindness' sake. [5] For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give you thanks? [6] I am weary with my groaning; Every night I flood my bed; I drench my couch with my tears. [7] My eye wastes away because of grief; It grows old because of all my adversaries. [8] Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, For Yahweh has heard the voice of my weeping. [9] Yahweh has heard my supplication. Yahweh accepts my prayer. [10] May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.
- Titus 2:13
looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ;
- Revelation 17:1-6
[1] One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here. I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters, [2] with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality, and those who dwell in the earth were made drunken with the wine of her sexual immorality." [3] He carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored animal, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns. [4] The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of the sexual immorality of the earth. [5] And on her forehead a name was written, "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." [6] I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered with great amazement.
