Yesterday I watched an indiana jones movie where he was looking for the holy grail of crist, do you think that could really exist or if the church has it? What do you think?
No, it does not exist. "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" is a fictional story, just like "Raiders of the Lost Arc," the first film in the franchise in which Indy searches for the legendary Arc of Christ. They make for great adventure tales, but neither are real objects, in the supernatural sense.
Sure, the man called Jesus that lived about 2000 years ago probably drank from a cup on the night of his last get-together with friends/followers before he died, but even if that cup was unearthed today, it would be no different than the other cups on the table that night. And when I say followers, I use that term, not because he was the son of God, but because of what little we know of him (since the scriptures are so convoluted they can't be trusted as fact), he was at the very least a moral teacher who had ideas and teachings that were far beyond his time, and so they attracted the attention of both his 'students/followers' and those that eventually killed him.
I hope that helps.
Well the myth of the holy grail is real if that's what your wondering. According to some historians it's based on the anchient celtic belief in the cauldron of rebirth. The cauldron being replaced by a grail or dinner plate which had been used to catch the blood of christ and thus would have miraculous powers.
I would not put it beyond the church to hide something like that from us if it actually existed but I guess that all depends.
It's very unlikely that the last supper was a real historical event. The scene was invented to explain away the otherwise embarrassing origins of the eucharist. The real roots of the meal are derived from polytheistic rituals common at the time. The Greek/Roman cults of the time, exceedingly prolific, were practically supper clubs.
This is very off subject but has anyone read or watched the davinci code? Love that book and it has some things on the holy grail but they are not true.
I think the Holy Grail of Christ is located in Britain, with guards protecting it.
No where, because it doesnt exist.
