The book is called Traditions of Glastonbury because Glastonbury England is abundantly filled with traditions pertaining to Glastonbury’s historical role in the birth of Christianity.
Joseph of Arimathaea, an honorable counselor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and
went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus. (Mark 15:43)
Mary, the mother of Jesus,
had an uncle named Joseph.
Huh?! Prove it. I thought Joseph was an undercover Pharisee, nothing more, nothing less.
Joseph of Arimathaea is his title in the Bible but Joseph had another title,
Joseph de Marmore, meaning Joseph of the Great Lord or as the British would say, Lord Joseph.
This makes sense in that he was a descendant of King David.
What makes him a descendant of David when you don't even know who Mary's descendants were? I don't recall seeing the name de Marmore in scripture. Was Joseph a Frenchman, cause that is a French name and most French are not descendants of David.
Joseph of Arimathaea was the
Kinsman Redeemer for Mary when her husband Joseph had died. This meant that for Jesus, his great uncle Joseph of Arimathaea would become his legal guardian. Joseph was a rich man,
very likely a Roman Senator in charge of Rome’s mining interests in Britain.
It’s likely too that Joseph was able to go ‘boldly before Pilate’ because of his political and economical status.
Come on RB, you gotta be kidding me.:smh: It's likely?!
Frequently, for long periods of time, Joseph had set sail for the British Isles to attend to his mining operations. Jesus traveled with His uncle Joseph to these mining sites at least once according to the traditions.

This sounds like stuff from one Herbert Armstrong and the Worldwide Church of God. Wasn't that organization disbanded after he died?
There's no physical evidence that Jesus went anywhere. If anything, he told his disciples to go elsewhere. There's no record of Jesus any where between 12-30 years of age.
I thought you ONLY stuck to scripture. You must've changed your style overnight. Show where it says any of this in scripture.
Come on MB, if you want others to prove everything, the exact same is expected of you.
