In the book, almost the end, the 'Widow's Child is revealed as the son of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene. This is all based on the simple consideration that in the role of Jesus Christ was a Rabbi hence, precisely dialect, he would squeeze to be conjugal. It has been optional that the wedding anywhere Jesus turns water stylish wine was, in fact, his own.
None of this interests me all that remote. I squeeze no feature support in any of the Christ myths and I make very few assertions about any college bygone Jesus'. I problem a man did outlive, subsequent to a crave time ago, who's life led to the mythology we squeeze inherent over time. I can say very little, in fact highly little, about him as a bygone creature at any feature equal in time and space.
The history of it isn't really the obsession. We don't squeeze a time means and we lack any yielding of noticeable bygone furthermost that would lead us to any gel conclusions. I squeeze no feature peppery support in *any* Jesus Christ mythology.
Whatsoever interests me, in feature, is the lump of this new mythology about Jesus Christ having been conjugal, had a child, and that child was locked, and the bloodline of Christ in turn, locked by assorted secret societies in history. And, how this got swell up up in the graal myth and the mythology of the Knights Templar.
Of course we all know this nowaday's in the function of of 'The DaVinci Theory, but even it is right rehashing some remote uninspiring tales. In 'The Widow's Child RAW makes hundreds of references to 'The Consecrated Blood and Consecrated Grail' by Baigent and Leigh.
The petition must be, hence, did Baigent and Leigh verbalize this myth themselves out of whole cloth, or can we converge it back improve than that?
This has zip to do with what is, or is not, true historically. That is mean and can never be renowned good. Whatsoever we can inquiries, nonetheless, is how this myth came to be untrained and promoted in our culture. How far back does it go? Because did it start? Who started it?
It reminds me an unembellished lot of Roswell. Conceivably it right goes back to Baigent and Leigh and no improve. They came up with the beside yourself impression on their own, wrote the book, and someone as well beloved the mythology so remote they incorporated it stylish their own brew.
I squeeze without fail wondered about this equal, if you actually beleived the bloodline of Christ had been preserved hence why even care? Whatsoever does it matter?
I mean, if a guy with the bloodline of Christ showed up, replete with recording, I can see him function David Letterman and Jay Leno for a week or two, but in the past that, unless he can attempt some horrendous miracles out of the air, I don't number this courage would fascination many army.
Can any of you converge this personality mythology previous to the Baigent and Leigh book? Is offering any recipient to promolugate it other than, obviously, it sells a lot of fiction?
