The established churches are going to do everything in their power to rubbish this document. It would overthrow, for instance, the entire patriarchal structure of the Catholic Church and no doubt countless other groupsings of which I do not know. Bang goes the requirement of celibacy for priests and the like. The vested interests are just too astronomical for the churches to let this be authenticised. Report Abuse

Celibacy my foot, some of these religious zealots have been banging young boys at the same time pretending to be "celibate". I am a christian, but I also believe that God is no fool, hence he created Robin H and Lindiwe Mazibuko. Report Abuse

If we turn to the Pratimokska Sutra and other religious tracts of the Buddhists, we read the ten following commandments:
1. Thou shalt not kill any living creature.
2. Thou shalt not steal.
3. Thou shalt not break thy vow of chastity.
4. Thou shalt not lie.
5. Thou shalt not betray the secrets of others.
6. Thou shalt not wish for the death of thy enemies.
7. Thou shalt not desire the wealth of others.
8. Thou shalt not pronounce injurious and foul words.
9. Thou shalt not indulge in luxury (sleep on soft beds or be lazy).
10. Thou shalt not accept gold or silver.*
"Good master, what shall I do that I may have eternal life?" asks a man of Jesus. "Keep the commandments." "Which?" "Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,"** is the answer.
"What shall I do to obtain possession of Bhodi? (knowledge of eternal truth)" asks a disciple of his Buddhist master. "What way is there to become an Upasaka?" "Keep the commandments." "What are they?" "Thou shalt abstain all thy life from murder, theft, adultery, and lying," answers the master.***
Well this doesnt surprise me.The same happened with the dead sea scrolls, they had pre-Jesus history that is vastly different from what the Church espouses.Only a small portions of the scrolls were released to the public, they rest is locked away in an Israeli museum! Thanks to the Catholic Church and the Israeli government, the truth about Jesus will always be circimvented.Howeer they cant keep their lies forever, at some point, one way or the other, when the time comes, the truth will come out.

@Roin H, it is believed that there is a secret society known as Priory of Sion. It is believed that they are descendence of Jesus - obviously to have descendents there has to be a woman; however Christians more especially Catholics would do antything and everything to destroy that information. For now the society it is known as a fiction or a myth; slowly but surely people are starting to see that it was just about the power,influence and manupilation from the Catholics to control the world.For almost 2,000 years, the Church had maintained its power and influence. It had outlasted dynasties and nations. How could such a fall from power and grace happen to the elect of God? They constructed and doctrinated the Pope to be so powerful and infalible. Report Abuse

Mr Stone. Rather uncalled for, as usual, and also completely off the point. You really need to learn basic decency, you know. Pr!ck.
Babes, I am aware of those conspiracy theories, but don't really give them too much credence. However, I do believe that such a "revelation" will cause a major stir. Report Abuse
