"Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God," (John 3:3).

Therefore, while any born again Believer can readily know that Jesus was not married and was Divine and was resurrected, this can be seen as foolishness to those who are not. Only God can reveal this to someone and all my pleadings will most probably just fall on deaf ears as happened to me. God opened my eyes not the people witnessing to me. Then and only then did my entire belief system undergo a radical paradigm shift.

Now, I am going to change gears for a minute and take this discussion from one of deception and misperception to an even higher level of outrage. I am going to try and tie this quest for the Holy Grail to the murderous rampage of Adolph Hitler and the Nazis. This is of course not to say that Bennett or all of those who search for the supposed Holy Grail are Nazi sympathizers anymore than are vegetarians or those who shun alcohol as did Hitler, but it does raise some very intriguing questions. Just like in the movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Nazis were actually really searching for the Holy Grail as a power source for victory.

Hitler had a messianic complex which manifested itself in an unbridled quest for the power needed to change the world into his Reich with him as God. Please bear with me.

Before I continue, however, I first need to state that I believe this Holy Grail like the Spear of Longinus that supposedly pierced Christ's side as well as other iconic artifacts have become idols. The Bible warns us "not to make for yourselves idols" (Leviticus 26:1).

Also:

"Let all those be ashamed who serve graven images, who boast themselves of idols" (Psalm 97:7).

"They shall be turned back and utterly put to shame who trust in idols, who say to molten images, you are our gods" (Isaiah 42:17).

Seeking the Grail as your idol, your source of power rather than God, is as wrong as making Hitler or the Pope or the Virgin Mary or Saints your idols or your source. The One and only true and living God should be your only source.

Several years ago, I ran across a very interesting book entitled The Twisted Cross: the Occultic Religion of Hitler and the New Age Nazism of the Third Reich by Joseph J. Carr. In his book, Carr alleged that both Adolph Hitler as well as German composer Richard Wagner had a fascination with Holy Grail stories. They also were intrigued with the poem Parsifal by Wolfgang Von Eschenbach. Wagner even made it into an opera. Hitler saw himself as either Parsifal or the central character in other Grail stories who would bring salvation to Aryan mankind and lead them to a new age of history.

When Italy concluded a separate peace with the Allies, the German army moved into southern France and northern Italy to take up positions abandoned by the Italians. Shortly after the occupation, a research team sent by Heinrich Himmler and headed by Col.. Otto Rahn, a professor steeped in Eastern mysticism and the occult arrived in the Pyrenees Mountains along the Franco-Spanish border to search for the Holy Grail. Excavations were undertaken in the vicinity of Montsegur fortress (just as Bennett stated in her article). Col. Otto Rahn was a member of the SS Standartenfuehrer and the Occultist Ahrenerbe (Ancestral Heritage Department of the SS) and an instructor in the Vogelsang schools which trained SS leaders.
