Top two claims...
1. Jesus was not son of God
Movie
“My dear,” Teabing, declared, "until that moment in history, Jesus was viewed by His followers as a mortal prophet. . . a great and powerful man, but a man nevertheless. A mortal."
"Jesus' establishment as the Son of God was officially proposed and voted on by the Council of Nicaea."
Fact
- Jesus was viewed as divine from the very beginning of Christianity. He is referred to as God at least seven times in the New Testament and Lord as a divine title many other times.
- The earliest documents from the Christian church ascribe to Jesus divine status.
- The entire flow of the Old Testament requires that God come into the world, as Immanuel
2. That he had a relationship with Mary Madgelan that lead to them having a child
Movie:
"When Grail legend speaks of 'the chalice that held the blood of Christ' … it speaks, in fact, of Mary Magdalene - the female womb that carried Jesus' royal bloodline."
Fact
- No wife exists in any scripture of Jesus, in his life when he was tried and crucified, or after his death.
- The legend of the Grail is indeed about the lost cup from the Last Supper. But biblical language about a mothers’ womb is always a reference to protection, never about bloodlines. Indeed, shed blood was always about the opposite of birth, that is, death.
