Knowledge, Get Some
October 19, 2007 by TJM Admin
It amazes me how little most (I said MOST, Aaron, not all) Christians know about the history of their belief system. Few know how tumultuous and blood-thirsty it was (and is, in some cases) and how it came to be the “powerhouse” that it is today. The rest of this post is in response to a comment received on this post.
First of all, The Gospel of Judas is not part of the Bible and should not be considered as fact.
You are absolutely correct. However, you may want to ask yourself why they are not part of the Bible. A brief look into the history of the “Holy” scripture reveals the truth of the matter. It was Constantine, a pagan Roman ruler (perhaps you have heard of him), who offered money to church leaders of the time to come up with a canon that they could agree on. Thus, the Council of Nicaea took place in 325 and they began to choose (or “vote”) the texts that were to be admitted into the canon. The canon was not considered “closed” until the Council of Trent which convened 3 times between 1545 and 1563. They had from 325 to 1563 to choose, revise and edit their god’s “static truth.” It is also well documented that there were over 200 gospels from which to choose from. From 200 (including the Gospel of Peter, the Gospel of Mary, the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Philip, and indeed the Gospel of Truth) to 4? Hmmmm. Anybody else smell the stench?
Jeus died because his father asked it of him, and in his death he saved the world from all of the sins (misdeeds) committed.
According to your belief, Jesus IS god. So, in essence, god asked himself to sacrifice himself to himself to appease himself to save us from sin, which he knew would happen before he framed the world. Yeah, that makes absolutely no sense.
But after 3 days Jesus Christ rose from the dead and he returned to his father in heaven.
Actually, Friday evening to sunday morning is, at best, one and a half days. (This means he could not even fulfill his own prophecy in Mt 12:38-41.)
Also, I’d to add that Jesus was perfect and had no faults and never sinned.
Of course, we have those missing 18 years…
We don’t even need the missing 18 years.
We just need to read the Bible a few times, front to back.

** Jesus-the-Brat, god-child of the lost gospels **
. . . well, there is that “canonical” incident in the Temple where the boy Jesus “astounds” the “doctors” with his ability to interpret scripture. (Easy for Him since He wrote the stuff.)
When Mom and Dad show up back in Jerusalem to find their missing child, Jesus-the-teen says that he has to be about “my father’s business.”
Poor Joseph, you gotta feel for the guy, cuckolded by God and dissed by His bratty Son.
Among those non-canonical gospels referred to by TMJ Admin are the so-called “infancy gospels.” “Jesus, the missing years” attracted writers. In one, Jesus-the-Brat changes his little child playmates into real kids, goats that is.
Those boring xian bishops really left out the fun stuff.
