Subject: Post 205 A: The Forbidden Secret of The Church Author: teltalheart/moderator [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 16:26:07 11/23/07 Fri Author Host/IP: 67-72-98-45.propel.com/67.72.98.45 Post 205 A: The Forbidden Secret of The Church The idea that Jesus was married and had a family scenario that doesnot concur with established church doctrine. The church had and has much at stake in people believing Jesus was a godman rather than just a man with a claim to the throne of Judah in the south and his wife's claim to Isreal in the north. Being a direct descendant of the line of David Jesus may have been heir-apparent to the throne of Judah if his father Joseph was the true king of Judah, but had been supplanted by a Roman puppet and pretender to the throne, namely Herod. The only thing more dangerous to a pretender to a throne, than the true king, is the true kings eldest son. In 'Holy Blood, Holy Grail' by Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh & Henry Lincoln, they write: --"We were well aware, of course, that our scenario did not concur with established Christian teachings. But the more we researched, the more apparent it became that those teachings, as they have been passed down through the centuries, represent only a highly selective compilation of fragments subjected to stringent expurgation and revision. The New Testament, in other words, offers a portrait of Jesus and his age that conforms to the needs of certain vested interests--of certain groups and individuals who had, and to a significant degree still have, an important stake in the matter. And anything that might compromise or embarrass these interests--like the "secret" Gospel of Mark, for example--has been duly excised. So much has been excised, as a matter of fact, that a sort of vacuum has been created. In this vacuum speculation becomes both justified and necessary." page 360. One should not think that because I am a Freemason that these are the views of the Lodge. In the Lodge each member is allowed his own personal belief. We do believe in the right of free men to think freely. End Post 205 A: teltalheart www.voy.com/40560/ [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
