Now, this really troubled me. Or should i be troubled?
I have been living 29 years in a Christian way of life and i would never regret the fact that there are mighty people that i always need to think about: God and Jesus Christ. Its a worldwide fact that this 2 characters partake most of the parts here in the world, so they say. I have always been a believer of them but i don't want everybody to think about me not believing in them now. Curiosity might have been the reason why i should ask "Did they really exist?".
According to the book of life, yes they are. God has never been seen but he existed wnd will continue existing even if this world ends. Jesus Christ existed and was trialed and nailed in the croos and died. The bible says too, that Jesus Christ will be risen again after three days thus we are celebrating Easter Sunday during the lenten season. That is our customs, traditions and what we believe in.
Jesus Christ then was conceived by Mary the Immaculate through spiritual conception and we also believe in that. He lived with flesh and bone, he eats and he sleeps but what made him different by then from the other people is that he can do miracles of which was witnessed by people during that time.
When he died, he body lied on a tomb but after 3 days it was gone and people believed that he was ressurected.
This belief was far different from what Discovery Channel has foretold on their quest to reality about Jesus Christ. Well, actually for his tomb. Their documentary "The Lost Tomb of Jesus" was the one who catch my eyes when i picked up some DVD in Pasig Palengke yesterday afternoon. Out of curiosity, i bought it and when i got home and after the chores, i sat down and played the movie.
Here are the things that has brought new knowledge to me. I mean, 29 years of living, having been a voracious reader, have known about all the ups and downs of life, the evolution of man, never did it catch my attention and willingness to learn more about Jesus Christ. I have only known about his life through my religion and thus believing on the story foretold.
1. Jesus Christ was resurrected but his body remained in the earth and are now part of the paleontologist, geologist, archeologists lists. These people are not so sure yet if what they have right now are the remains of the Saviour. But, through circumstantial evidences found therein, halfly they could say that yes it was Jesus' Body.
2. I never knew that he has brothers and sisters and as far as i can remember 6 of them. Historians testify that yes he has. Well, that was new to me.
3. Mary Magdalene (who has played a great part for Jesus Christ) name was seen on the tomb that belonged to Jesus' family. What does this mean? Does this mean that Mary Magdalene was part of Jesus' biological family?
4. Mary Magdalene's name is spelled as "MARIAMNE" of which was really new to me. I don't know hebrew letters but when i looked at it its vague to me but thats what historians and some books says. Her name is spelled as such thus when they opened up one coffin name "MARIAMNE" they did believe that it was Mary Magdalene.
5. On that tomb lies 9 coffins with names foretold as
a. Jesus son of Joseph (Jesus Christ)
b. Mary or Maria (Mary the Immaculate)
c. Jose (Joseph)
d. Matthew (Jesus' brother)
e. Mariamne (Mary Magdalene)
f. forgot the name
g. forgot the name
h. forgot the name
i. Judah (Jesus' son through Mary Magdalene)
6. That there was a possibility that Mary Magdalene and Jesus Christ has a secret relationship and needs to be kept to cover for their son, Judah.I have watched the Dan Brown Book turned into movies, The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons and i have first known through this movie that Magdalene and Jesus were secret partners during their time but through this documentary, this scientists has foretold that they can even confirmed that they were lovers/partners through their DNA tests. Hay!
7. That Jesus has a son named Judah through Mary Magdalene. I never knew about this until this early morning when i finished watching the movie. Odd but to me its a fresh knowledge that has opened up my curiosity again.
Now, my Christain fate is being tested. Does science has really the ability to test everything to come to a factual conclusion? Coz if they do then i might say that i have been living a lie all throughout the 29 years of existince.
