2 CULDEE KIRK
Roman Catholic doctrine says that at the end of her life on earth Mary was assumed, body and soul, into heaven. Christ, by his own power, ascended into heaven. Mary was assumed or taken up into heaven by God. She didn’t do it under her own power. Not true claims the CULDEE KIRK (refugee church) of Avalon England. Mary's remains lies buried there in a little church yard next to the remains of an ancient house that Jesus and his uncle (Joseph of Arimathaea) built for her when the teen Jesus sailed the world with his wealthy uncle (the rich young ruler that Jesus loved in Mark 10:21) shipping tin to the Roman world from English mines. The Roman Catholic Church of course rejects that claim as well as the Culdee claim that the RCC was in fact an English missionary church established under the authority of the apostle Philip. Although the RCC dismisses all Culdee claims as well as the existence of this ancient English church, it does, however, acknowledge the claim of the original French church, which insists that it was founded by Philip before the establishment of the Roman church, and that Philip, after first establishing Mary Madeline along with Mary and Martha and Lazarus on the pagan French lands, then sailed to England with Joseph of Arimathaea and Mary, the mother of Jesus, and there also established the Culdee Kirk (refugee church) in the midst of the pagan Druids. In the art of story-telling Shakespeare was the master, for he had learned the trade well from his English ancestors, the Druids. The Culdee kirk likewise continued another honored Druidic custom, that of ''oral tradition'' to record the facts of their history, a history in which the name Pudens was well known.
2 Timothy 4:21
Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
Romans 6:13
Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
When Paul was Saul he hated the Christians and despised the Romans along with his own Roman citizenship, legally bestowed upon him when his ''foolish'' Jewish mother Pricilla, a widow, had converted to Christianity and re-married a wealthy Roman Christian named Aquila Pudens. They had a Roman Christian son named Rufus. All official records of the Culdee church that survived the early purging by Roman emperors like Claudius were finally destroyed by the RCC when, in 600AD St. Augustine conquered England for the Pope and converted its native Druids. The Culdees were considered a major cult offshoot of the pagan Druid cult and all its records and worshippers went underground until the new Anglican Church of England rose up in the 1500's against papist rule and eventually did its own national purging of all non approved religions. The oral tradition of the Culdee kirk nevertheless continued on and soon merged into the written Roman tradition. Rufus Pudens, son of Paul's mother Pricilla and her husband Aquila Pudens was a decorated war hero who became a senator living in Rome. All bible commentators mention that Paul deeply longed to go to Rome, as is evident in his letter to the Romans (Romans 1:11). Few commentators, however, know the Culdee side of Paul's longing to go to Rome and his final decade of joyous victory. Paul's mother and brother lived there. Later, when Paul came to reside in Rome in his own residence before his final trial his family was there with him.
Separated from the ''mass of the faithful'' (Druid, Catholic, or Anglican) the Culdees were devoted to their religion and lived in community, and after being purged, they lived in monastic fashion though not taking monastic vows. Music was a large part of their worship. 'Culdee' and 'canon' are interchangeable terms to them. During the 9th century Ireland had nine Culdee monastic communities and Scotland had thirteen. However, by the 12th century all Christianity was brought under canonical rule and regulated on the Roman pattern, and the Culdees lost any distinctiveness they formerly had. The Scottish poet Thomas Campbell (1776) called the Culdees the earliest priests of God. Who were these Culdees and what credence should be given to their testimonies?
3 Where is Andrew and Philip?
Peter's best friend was James the older brother of John. And John, except for one unique exception, is always listed as the third wheel tagging along behind Peter and James. Peter's brother Andrew found his own best friend to hang with, Philip. Andrew and Philip buddy together in five verses. Notice the reverse pecking order in John 1:44 where Peter becomes the third wheel:
Mark 3:18 KJV
And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,
Luke 6:14 KJV
Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, (next, the brothers) James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
John 1:44 KJV
Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
John 12:22 KJV
Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
Acts 1:13 KJV
And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
Now lets look at the well-know ''feed my sheep'' incident in which both Andrew and Philip are conspicuously absent.
John 21
1 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself. 2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. 3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing . They say unto him, We (six) also go with thee.
It is unlikely that John lists and further highlights with details the names of 'Thomas called Didymus' and 'Nathanael of Cana in Galilee', and then relegates both Andrew the brother of Peter and Andrew's home-town best friend Philip as ''two other of his disciples''. The Byzantium Church in Constantinople, as well as the Eastern Orthodox churches of Ukraine, Romania and Russia all agree that Andrew was indeed not among those seven disciples attending the fish fry in John's Gospel. They proclaim that Andrew, unlike his brother Peter, was in fact, at that very moment, feeding Jesus' sheep in their Asian and Baltic lands. Andrew's best friend Philip was doing the same thing in England and France insist the Culdee legends.
John 6
5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? 6 And this he said to prove him:
Philip was going to buy his bread on English shores….
These are the first 3 introductory chapters. The following chapters go into specific details and provide the source evidence. Some of these Culdee details reveal that a)Paul was the stepson of a famous Roman Senator Aquila Pudens, (and hence the absolute horror of the magistrate that whipped Paul when he discovered who Paul really was) and b)Paul's younger half brother Rufus Pudens (famous in his own right) married Claudia the sister of Linus who c)is the first named Pope after Peter..And d)Linus and Claudia were missionaries from the English Culdee Kirk and were converted while in England by JoeAramathea. These historical facts are evidenced in actual existing Roman annuls while the underlying hidden facts are found in the old oral traditions of the Culdee Druids. The next chapters reveal these details that the RCC has ignored and contradicted. But in the same breathe the next chapters also reveal that the Old Testament actually predicts the rise of Constantine and the RCC almost 2000 years before Constantine was born.
