Skeptics are coming out of the woodwork since the parchment went public yesterday, but so far, no one has disproven the new allegations of a corrupt political system that traces back to this nation’s very founding. If the Gospel is proven genuine, it could possibly mean that every President America has ever had, was a descendant of Christ, and bred, not raised, but bred, for that very purpose. The same would be true of many other governments across the globe.
Here is a quote from a very outspoken civil rights leader, who didn’t want to be named due to his personal safety.
“Imagine how different our lives would have been, if the existence of Jesus Christ and all he suffered were fact, proven by science. Consider how much control the legitimate churches would have had over the masses. Laws, education, politics, work, art, music, literature lifestyles - it all would have been effected. Ask yourself if the governments, and yes, all of them. No one group of people hides a conspiracy this size – ask yourself if the leaders you’ve been listening to, would still be in charge right now, if it was a documented fact that our Lord and savior really walked this very earth. Wouldn’t that government have been the first ones fed to those hungry lions? Yes, and isn’t there anything they would have done, to stop it from happening?”
What if these few remaining children of Mary and Christ have been betrayed over and over, killed in every generation, to hide the truth? When we could have been basking in their light…
