M*W: I'm posting this mostly for SourStar, but for anyone else who is unfamiliar with Jesus escaping the crucifixion and sailing to France.
Christians are ridding themselves of their immature beliefs about Jesus, Christianity, and Mary Magdalene. Christians are now questioning if Jesus was really crucified, or was he able to escape the crucifixion? Many Christians now realize the true origins of their religion. Did Jesus survive and flee with his wife, Mary Magdalene, to the south of France with their children? Did their descendants found the Merovingian dynasty? (named for MM, of course -- Mero (MM-the sea) vin (vine) gian (one who comes from the vine of Mary Magdalene). And was this the shocking "secret" preserved by that shadowy organization known as the Priory of Sion?
The authors of several books on this subject delve into the mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau, the story which originally inspired biblical researchers and archeologists to do the investigation which led to their astounding new theories. Since that time, many other books have questioned the story of the early Christians, and they have even revived the idea that historical Jesus did not exist.
Other researchers have shown that the dying demigod savior theme was present in many pagan religions of the time. Many biblical researchers have accepted the idea that Christianity was not based on any new ideas.
The roots of Christianity can be found in Egyptian religion, especially the cult of Isis and Osiris. Osiris was killed on Friday and resurrected three days later by the power of his wife Isis, who then conceives their son, Horus. More parallels to Jesus can be found in the religion of Isis which emphasized repentance and confession. It was not Jesus who brought this message to the Jews, but another character who figures prominently in occult circles, John the Baptist. John the Baptist is seen by authors as a rival of Jesus who founded a substantial movement that continued to exist even though persecuted by Jews, Christians, and Muslims. John the Baptist took his ideas from Egypt, including immersion in water as a purification rite. Even the Greeks used immersion as a way to seek enlightenment. When held under the water until a person is just about to drown, there is an ecstacy that overcomes a drowning person. It's like going to sleep in ecstacy. I personally don't want to experience this!
Biblical scholars believe that there was some secret knowledge of Mary Magdalene and John the Baptist that caused biblical scholars to hold John the Baptist and the Magdalene in higher regard than Jesus. This knowledge scholars believe is the wisdom of the Female principle once so important to ancient religions. Sacred sex was practiced in Egypt and was an off-shoot from the Eastern 'tantric sex.' The male dominated Christian Church suppressed these ideas and burned the texts that showed the importance of woman with theological ideas and ideals. The early Christians had women priests (temple priestesses or temple 'prostitutes' -- not to be associated with hookers). The sexes were equal in those days, until Judaism and Christianity came along.
Jesus' rival was John the Baptist. John the Baptist practiced an ancient religion, and his message was suppressed by the Church. Biblical scholars and archeologists are still searching to find what was suppressed and just what John the Baptist's secret could be.
Many organizations today don't believe Jesus was the Messiah (Jews and Muslims, for instance). If Jesus survived the crucifixion, proof will be found. The researchers and historians of Jesus who believe he survived the crucifixion say that only the most ignorant of Christians today refute the claim. Yet, there is still no proof that Jesus even existed. Since Christianity emphasizes "faith" (belief with no proof), the actual proof when found should make no difference to true Christian believers. There are even people who say Christianity could survive without any belief in Jesus at all, with a "do good to others" philosophy.
Many biblical archeologists have contributed to the Egyptian origins of Jesus' teachings. In fact, they are leaning toward the idea that Jesus was a Pharaoh. Christianity was not a cult that began within Judaism, that is a misconception. Researchers know that the Church suppressed its pagan origins. The original holy family was Osiris, Isis and Horus, another dying demigod savior who was resurrected on the third day. The Jesus Myth was taken from this.
