Knights Templar to use latest imaging in search for Grail

Actually, all the legends I've ever heard have referred to the mummified head of John the Baptist, who allegedly really was beheaded, rather than Christ who died on the cross and lives again.

With no disrespect intended, this sentence sounds like something out of "Highlander."

You have demonstrated that atheists are intellectually dishonest.

Only a god could know what the atheists claim to know, since only a god could be omniscient.

So, atheism is self-contradictory. Thus, it is a wonderful example of phony wisdom.

It is also extremely common. And the prevalence of this monstrous foolishness is best explained by the Scriptures themselves.

At no point does the creation account say that God lives "in the sky".

Are we considering the Septuagent and the Hebrew versions of the creation story?

JUMPING off the Deep end.

So far on this thread, some posters get accused of being Mormans and Atheists. I am neither and why would you blindly, accuse someone of that for discussing a theory in a book?

Quit reading into this something that's not there.

Jump down off your high horse.

Et in Arcadia ego . . .

I was wondering when you were going to get to that. LOL.

Okay, we're starting to creep me out. :)

[Notforprophet]

You're right... the Priory may be watching. We better chill out.

And I was worried about Echelon! Those pesky Plantards are everywhere these days.

>>Both the Freemasons and the Knights Templar claim the ornate stonemasonry of the church is a secret code which, if broken, will reveal the whereabouts of treasures.

I was under the impression that the Knights Templar were Freemasons..

"I refer you to the fascinating "Holy Blood, Holy Grail (authors: Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln) for more info.

Great read...no it's not fable...although as any movement that was politically annihilated...some of what is later remembered may be fiction.

[Notforprophet]

Okay - for the benefit of Echelon and the ever-watchful Prieure-de-Sion...

"Bergere pas de Tentation que Poussin Teniers Gardent la clef Pac DCLXXXI Pae la Croix et ce Cheval de Dieu j acheve ce Daemon de Gardien a midi Pommes Bleues"

...and that's the last I will say about that!

Ah. I'm "strutting for the lurkers". I see. Well, if that's your only counter-argument then feel free to stick with it.

What I said to CCWoody was correct. So, you owe me an apology.

[agincourt1415]

I knew a post with "Knights Templar" would get a rise, LOL.

But I lost my copy of HBHG.

But I seem to recall a passage in HBHG, that said some Amercian Soldiers stumbled on a underground cript in Normandy, France, that held some Templar Treasures that were later lost of disappeared.

According to the Mormon genealogy website, I can trace ancestory back to the French king who sentenced the Knights Templers to death and who was therefore the recipient and supposed victim of the curse to six generations. Fortunately it's been about 50 generations since that curse. My 26 year old son, however, claims that it is still floating around and manifests itself as a "PIZZA CURSE." He claims that whenever he orders pizza, they get it wrong. He claims he can hear the long dead Knights Templars muttering in old French when he calls it in, say, "aha, he is descended from the evil Louis, screw up his order. snicker snicker snicker." We have him in therapy.
