Knights Templar Did Reject Christ in Some Way

Not in disgusting ways alleged by French inquisitors, of course – and only a few Templars (followers of Ark of Templar Unitarian Christian religion – “Templar Arianism”) but some of Templars did reject some aspects of Catholic Christology (first and foremost, the Trinity making them Antitrinitarians).

Ark of Templar does not dispute that Jesus Christ was Son of God and Savior of Mankind – or His Resurrection and subsequent Ascension to Heaven. Nor does it question miracles that He performed. Which made Hugh and his followers Unitarian Christians (“Templar Arians”, if you will).

However, unlike “classical” Arianism, Ark Templar does not dispute Catholic claim that for (almost) everyone Jesus Christ, His Church, Christian doctrine and Christian practices are absolutely necessary for salvation in the afterlife.

For everyone but Ark Templars – because the latter have the Ark and thus an “alternative way to salvation” that needs none of the above. Consequently, every member of Ark Templar (only 12 out of 15,000 Templars) rejected Christ as his personal savior – their salvation is via the Ark – not via Christ. Via Ark Templar, not Christian Church; via its dogmas and practices – not those of Catholic Church.

Like any other religion, Ark Templar had its own acceptance/initiation ceremonies. Which were – obviously – conversion from “official” Catholic Trinitarian Christianity to heretical, Unitarian Arian one.

Consequently, this ceremony inevitably included the part where the applicant had to reject Christ as God and His Lord and Savior. And state to his brethren that from now on he considers only God the Heavenly Father to be the true God, Savior and Lord of Ark Templars. Thus, becoming a Unitarian (Aryan).

I am sure that the applicant just had to make a statement (recite the Creed of Ark Templar) and spitting on the cross and other disgusting rituals were invented by French inquisitors.

However, they were right in some respect – some of Knights Templars (their top brass, in fact) did reject certain aspects of Catholic Christology. And thus – in some way – reject Jesus Christ.

Legally, specific charges did not matter at that time. Members of Ark Templar converted to a Unitarian (Aryan) Christian heresy and practiced it. According to the Criminal Code of that time, it was a capital offense punishable by death.

Burning alive at the stake.
