Two claims about Jesus Christ

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.
