Context

In the fall of 2014, an article was written about a document reported to be 1,500 years old that was unearthed in the British Library. This document, known as "The Lost Gospel", was translated by Professor Barrie Wilson and writer Simcha Jacobovic from Aramaic to English. "The Lost Gospel", according to Wilson and Jacobovic, reveals that Jesus had married Mary Magdalene and fathered two children with her. [1]

The Argument

The theory about Jesus having a family and a bloodline that is still alive today was popularized by Dan Brown in his novel "The Davinci Code", which was adapted into a movie starring Tom Hanks. However, many authors have dismissed Brown's story as a work of fiction. While many theorists support Brown's claim that Jesus's bloodline lives on today, they dispute the assumption that their is a singular, supreme descendant (the film depicts a singular descendant in the character of Sophie Neveu). According to theorists, Jesus's descendants encompass a very wide net of people. [2] Even the Bible makes mention of Jesus's blood relatives. In addition to Jesus's mother, the Virgin Mary, there was Mary's cousin Elizabeth and her son who would grow up to be John the Baptist. The Bible also documents Christ's siblings: some unamed sisters and four brothers, Judas, Simon, Joses, and James. However, records from Jewish families tell the stories of other family members who were not recorded in the Bible. These records mention uncles, cousins, nephews, and even grand-nephews and great-grand-nephews. Records show these relatives being traced back to Jerusalem, Jordan, and even to Rome. These records also indicate that these relatives helped lead Christ to safety after Jerusalem fell in 70 AD. They also testified before Roman emperors. There is also the matter of the first Christian bishops. For the first 100 years after the death of Christ, the bishops in Jerusalem were not only Jewish but they were also all related to Christ. [3] The gospels that have been unearthed hinting at Christ's family over the years were rejected by the early Christians to be included in the New Testament. Modern Christian scholars claim that the reason why these gospels were rejected was because the early Christians considered them to be heretical. While heresy is a matter of opinion, it is also important to realize that these gospels revealed a very different picture of Christ and his mission on Earth. [4] There is a direct descendant and heir, my name is Conor Allen and here are my positive confirmed DNA results.I'm here to reach out to tell the truth about my family because I'm tired of secrets and it is also in my profile, OK here it goes from DNA testing and information from God and family archives I found I'm the 69x great grandson of Jesus Christ the Messiah and the son of God and Mary Magdalene, 70x great grandson of God and the Virgin Mary and The Goddess Asherah and He the son and Anath the daughter, 234th Great grandson of Akhenaten, Aten and other Gods, Ra, Amun, Osiris, etc ( it is hard for me to believe and I found this out when I was 3) and according also to my family tree that I'm directly descended from Gods and Goddesses, Primordial Gods and Deities and Demigods across the planet and Messianic bloodlines and other divine bloodlines, related to all Egyptian Pharaohs, direct descendant of King Robert the Bruce, I'm related to the Asian African American European Gods and Monarchs examples Chinese and Japanese Gods and Emperors, etc , and I'm related to all royal families from ancient to modern day all royal bloodlines from all over the planet, and then I'm descended from all Nobility, Ducal, aristocratic bloodlines as well. and I'm the 111th great grandson of King David and the 49th great grandson of the Merovingian King Clovis I, and I'm directly descended from the St. Clair, Plantar d, Blanchefort families and my mom side of the family original surname was St.Clair (the St claire of Scotland and france I'm directly descended from) (then changed to Rinaldi and became like a "true" Italian families because they married into the Orsini, della rovere, borgia, sforza, colonna families) from France and they migrated into italy and became dukes, popes, kings and they went into hiding into Naples then they came to America and came to Mt pleasant and York PA. so yeah my family history. and Japanese chinese asian European African American gods and monarchs and Messiahs, chiefs, emperors kings, prophets and all aristocratic families, all popes, US Presidents, God-Kings of the world, 69x great nephew of Thomas Didymus and John the Divine ( Jesus twin brothers ) 69x great nephew and grandson of James the half brother of Jesus.

Counter arguments

There is no credible evidence that Christ was ever married or ever had children. The Bible contains no mention of Christ's wife or any children that would have come from the marriage. What the Bible does contain are quotes speaking to Christ's lack of family; for example, Hebrew 7:3 states that Christ is a person without a geneology, showing that he is a true Son of God. While the Bible does maintain that Mary was Jesus's mother and also aknowledges that Mary and Joseph most likely did have children before Christ, there is very little Biblical or evidence outside of the Bible to suggest that Christ was married or had children as their have been few credible secular historians that have found any evidence to suggest such allegations.

Premises

Rejecting the premises

Technically according to Jewish customs and the laws of how they deal with a dead body. Is Hebrew custom but the female relatives of the deceased are the only ones that touch the deceased body. So having said that the women that were there to prepare Christ after he was crucified was Mary the Mother Mary his sister and Mary of Magdalene. So it is by their own documentation in the New Testament that it claimed Mary Magdalene a relative with intimate knowledge of Jesus Christ of mazarin other than the mother or the sister who better would know if it's bent knowledge of Jesus a wife end of statement.
