Jews and Jesus

[maryjane48]

well i have seen shows on history channel that say even the official story of jesus is incomplete , and was made incomplete on purpose , for instance his wife mary m . they think they have found a book of mary that paints a way different picture of the man , if he did in fact live

[crybabycry]

Well if it was on TV it must be true.

[maryjane48]

My position is that you can trust what you see on the History Channel as much as you could if it was on Fox News.

i disagree but no point in arguing personal beliefs

[crybabycry]

...no point in arguing personal beliefs

And yet you start this thread. Ironic, no?

[maryjane48]

no not at all , mature adults can debate a subject without casting judgments . i do not believe in any god but it does not mean me and many with same beliefs can not have a intrest even if for a historical or understanding someone elses views . talking is learning and that is always good . any other off topic questions you need answered ? if not i will got turn some water into wine :)

Do a little research and see if you still think it's accurate:

The Gospel of Mary is part of the Gnostic Gospels and are probably much more accurate than the bible since they were hidden for 1700 years and had not been adulterated by both catholics and protestant alike. Around 315 AD, Constantine ordered all books that bid not synch with his bible burned. Much of ancient knowledge was lost including the library at Alexandria.
Jesus was against religion and the self righteous. He never intended to start a religion but those that did altered the original text to make it look like he did. Jesus was not deified until 300 years after he died. Until then he was just a prophet. In the Gnostic Gospels it is believed that enlightenment is a personal journey - the narrow path less followed. Religion is a highway to nowhere.

Well, you obviously didn't bother actually reading and understanding the posts as one of the blogs was from one of the "archeologists" that was consulted for the show!
