Subject: Holy Grail and it's relevance |
Bible Note: Hello Makarios! Thank you for taking time to answer my questions and sharing your comments :o). You are indeed correct that our faith is not based on artifacts / speculations (or science, for that matter). It is based on the Word of God :o)! I have not read the Holy Blood, Holy Grail book in detail (just parts of it in summary) and though it was interesting at first, I guess I got kinda put off by the claim of Jesus' marriage to Mary Magdalene and that He didn't really die. My thought was "Here's the devil trying to deceive the people by disclaiming the resurrection of Christ again!" But you put an interesting reference in your post ('The Templars' by Piers Paul Read) so perhaps I should try to find that book and read it :o). God bless you! Aliehs (Sheila) |
