satan is a LIAR! John 8:44Ye 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.
satan is a LIAR! 2 Corinthians 4:4In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
satan is a LIAR! Revelation 12:9And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
satan is a LIAR! Revelation 20:10And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
satan is the enemy of the Gospel and the Church of Jesus Christ!
Ephesians 6:11-1211 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

For example, the book promotes these ideas: That daughter gave rise to a prominent family line that is still present in Europe today
For example, the book promotes these ideas: The Bible was put together by a pagan Roman emperor
For example, the book promotes these ideas: Jesus was viewed as a man, and not as God, until the fourth century, when he was Deified by the emperor Constantine
For example, the book promotes these ideas: The Gospels have been edited to support the claims of later Christians
For example, the book promotes these ideas: In the original Gospels, Mary Magdalene, rather than Peter, was directed to establish the Church
For example, the book promotes these ideas: There is a secret society known as the Priory Of Sion that still worships Mary Magdalene as a goddess and is trying to keep the truth alive
