The Virgin and The Priest Author:Mark Gibbs This book is THE absolute must read! For the first time ever in print, The Virgin and The Priest unravels the Infancy Narratives of the New Testament to reveal how they were compiled to protect the truth of Jesus' parentage from those deemed incapable of receiving it. Christianity can never be the same again! — An ancient formula, ... more »explaining why "holy births" in the messianic lineage resulted from questionable sexual relationships, was insinuated into the gospel accounts. These trysts of the Old Testament heroes were deemed necessary to purify Jesus' ancestry and allow his genetic inheritance to be "sinless." Far from advocating a miraculous birth, the New Testament informs us that Zacharias, the priestly father of John the Baptist, was Jesus' biological father. Moreover, he was murdered for breaking the Law on adultery.
This information is long overdue and absolutely vital for us to understand what really happened two thousand years ago. Jesus was the younger brother of John the Baptist. In reality, a bitter sibling rivalry was responsible for Jesus' failure to gain public acceptance - failure that led to his execution and to the prolongation of the disastrous course of history.
Although the Church discarded the truth in favor of a theological construction, much of the true story was always known to elites of heretical secret societies, such as the Knights Templar. However, they acknowledged John the Baptist, not Jesus, as the true Christ.
The conflict within the messianic family was documented in the Dead Sea Scrolls using pseudonyms for the protagonists. It was alluded to in apocryphal gospels, writings of early Church Fathers, the Koran, and in numerous Renaissance masterpieces, and can no longer be ignored.« less
