A Matter of Truth

An anonymous person responded to my ealier post on the DaVinci Code, "Bashing Christ In Fact and Fiction." Among the many questions raised in his response was the following:

"So what (if) the DaVinci Code is a book of fiction, what makes you so sure that the bible is not a book of fiction?"

Dan Brown himself claims that his book is fiction. The Bible never makes a claim to being a work of fiction. There are thousands of manuscripts of the Bible, more than any ancient book. The apostles and prophets who wrote the scriptures are eyewitnesses to the truths written in Scripture. Finally, Jesus Christ himself testifies to the veracity and accuracy of Scripture, up to its punctuation marks.

Dan Brown claims his work is fiction and you grant him a status of "Truthful". The Bible claims to be truthful and you reduce its status to that of "Fiction". You are being thoroughly dishonest, and I doubt that you are really seeking the truth.

Furthermore, the burden of proof lies with you to prove that the Bible is fiction. I don't have to prove that the Bible is not fiction just because you think that The DaVinci Code is somewhow equivalent to the Bible.
