Jesus's Face in the face of a mountain.
Clifford (42) and her friend Fiona Fay from DroghedaCo. Louth were spellbound by what they saw and immediately Clifford snapped the shot of what they said appeared to be the face of Jesus Christ. Fay first spotted what appeared to be an image of a man before pointing it out to Clifford.
“To me it was Jesus Christ straight away,” added Clifford, who is a practicing Catholic.
People should not be misguided by these charlatans .
The best Homage to Christ is to follow His Teachings, ignoring others, The Church included.
A COUPLE who claim they are Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene have set up base in Queensland’s Bible Belt and are drawing in disciples from across the country.
The pair, real names Alan John Miller and Mary Suzanne Luck, operate from rural Wilkesdale, near Kingaroy, where they claim to have been joined by 30-40 followers.
“My name is Jesus and I’m serious,” Mr Miller says in a video recording from a workshop. Cult watchers and the Anglican and Catholic churches are concerned the pair, who ask followers to donate to sustain them, could draw in the vulnerable.

Early Mormon leaders Jedediah M. Grant and Orson Hyde stated it was part of their religious belief that Jesus Christ was polygamous, quoting an apocryphal passage attributed to the second-century Greek philosopher Celsus: “The grand reason why the gentiles and philosophers of his school persecuted Jesus Christ was because he had so many wives. There were Elizabeth and Mary and a host of others that followed him”.
The French 19th century socialist politician, Louis Martin, in his 1886 book Les Evangiles sans Dieu described the historical Jesus as a turned atheist, who had married Mary Magdalene, and that both had travelled to the South of France, where they had a son.
The Jesus bloodline hypothesis which held that the historical Jesus had married Mary Magdalene and fathered a child with her was brought to the attention of the general public again in the 20th century by Donovan Joyce in his 1973 book The Jesus Scroll.In his 1977 book Jesus died in Kashmir: Jesus, Moses and the ten lost tribes of Israel, Andreas Faber-Kaiser explored the legend that Jesus met, married and had several children with a Kashmiri woman. The author also interviewed the late Basharat Saleem who claimed to be a Kashmiri descendant of Jesus. Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh, and Henry Lincoln developed and popularized the hypothesis that a bloodline from Jesus and Mary Magdalene eventually became the Merovingiandynasty in their 1982 book The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, in which they asserted:
The symbolic significance of Jesus is that he is God exposed to the spectrum of human experience – exposed to the first-hand knowledge of what being a man entails. But could God, incarnate as Jesus, truly claim to be a man, to encompass the spectrum of human experience, without coming to know two of the most basic, most elemental facets of the human condition? Could God claim to know the totality of human existence without confronting two such essential aspects of humanity as sexuality and paternity? We do not think so. In fact, we do not think the Incarnation truly symbolises what it is intended to symbolise unless Jesus were married and sired children. The Jesus of the Gospels, and of established Christianity, is ultimately incomplete – a God whose incarnation as man is only partial. The Jesus who emerged from our research enjoys, in our opinion, a much more valid claim to what Christianity would have him be.
Many commentators and scholars now think so, and some of sound reputation have thought so throughout the centuries since the life and death of Jesus.
The answer is, however, that we really do not know. Some evidence seems to point that way, and support for the theory is growing… but that is its present position… that it is just a theory.
However, since it is a theory supported – although not definitively – by at least one of the Nag Hammadi gospels and by the author of The Da Vinci Code and many other writers and scholars who have accumulated a persuasive body of material, readers – whether it concurs with their personal opinions or not – have to take account of it in order to enter the world of Dan Brown’s novel.
In Bloodline of the Holy Grail, Laurence Gardner writes that Jesus and Mary Magadalene had undergone their Second Marriage ceremony at the time of the anointing at Bethany and that Mary Magdalene was three months pregnant when Jesus was crucified. Apart from referring to what he regards as reliably informative Gospel sources, he points out that the pregnancy would have fallen within the period designated by the strict rules of their religious community for the procreation of offspring, as sexual relations were permitted only each December.
