Debunking the DaVinci Code Book

FACT: Jesus himself claimed to be Divine. This claim was made in all four Gospels which have been accepted as Canon since the first century. Even the apocryphal (additional) books that didn’t make it into the Canon never had a problem with, and even proclaimed Jesus’ Divinity. Every church father from the first century onward has written of Jesus’ Divinity. If theology in the first four centuries was ever in error, it erred on the side of taking some of Jesus’ Divinity away from Him and making Him less God.
The Council of Nicea did meet in 325 A.D. It was a gathering of the “who’s who” in Christianity. These Christians from all over the Roman Empire met together to discuss the matters of the church in a new age with no persecution.

The council discussed the following:
1. Standard procedures for the re-admission of the lapsed (Christians who denied Christ and the church while being tortured.)
2. Standard procedure to elect and ordain presbyters and bishops.
3. The Arian controversy that threatened to divide the church.
It was this third point that causes history to remember the Council of Nicea. The Council debated Arianism, a heresy being taught that said Jesus (the Word) was not co-eternal with God. Jesus was created by God. The council debated the issue and then drew up what would become the “Nicene Creed”. It was voted on and accepted by a vote of 300 – 2.

"WE believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of all things visible and invisible.

"And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only-begotten of the Father, that is, from the substance of the Father, God of God, light of light, true God of true God, begotten, not made, of one substance with the Father, through whom all things were made, both in heaven and on earth, who for us humans and for our salvation descended and became incarnate, becoming human, suffered and rose again on the third day, ascended to the heavens, and will come to judge the living and the dead.

"And in the Holy Spirit.

"But those who say that there was when He was not, and that before being begotten He was not, or that He came from that which is not, or that the Son of God is of a different substance or essence, or that He is created, or mutable, these the catholic church anathematizes [excommunicates, throws out of the church]." Nicene Creed, 325 A.D.
