Bible conspiracy theory

Bible conspiracy theory

A Bible conspiracy theory is any conspiracy theory that posits that much of what is known about the Bible is a deception created to suppress some secret, ancient truth. Some of these theories claim that Jesus really had a wife and children, or that a group such as the Priory of Sion has secret information about the true descendants of Jesus; some claim that there was a secret movement to censor books that truly belonged in the Bible, etc.

This subject should not be confused with deliberately "fictional" Bible conspiracy theories. A number of bestselling modern novels have incorporated elements of bible conspiracy theories to flesh out their storylines, rather than to push these theories as actual suggestions.

New Testament

According to Acharya S, in her book "The Christ Conspiracy, The Greatest Story Ever Sold", Jesus and Christianity were created by members of various secret societies, mystery schools and religions to unify the Roman Empire under one state religion, and that these people drew on numerous myths and rituals which existed previously and then constructed them into Christianity that exists today. [ 1) Acharya S, " [http://www.truthbeknown.com/origins.htm The Origins of Christianity and the Quest for the Historical Jesus Christ] "]

Jesus, Mary Magdalene and the Holy Grail

Some common hypotheses are that:
* Mary Magdalene was one of the apostles of Jesus, possibly even the only disciple, but this fact was suppressed by the early Church.
