[verse1923]

@bobo577 The only reason why there are seen as reliable is because a random group of church leaders a very long time ago got together and cherry picked what they did and did not want to teach. They aren't reliable at all.

@FreelancePatriot76 Wow! you know nothing about your religion do you? Are you one of those brainwashed Christians that gets dressed up in their most expensive clothes on Sundays and goes to church even tho it is forbidden in the bible (1Tim2:9) or are you one of those people that cooks a big slack of ham on *ster Sunday even tho it is an odor that is displeasing to YHWY? ..learn something today: Jude (Jude 14-15) refers to the book of Enoch (Enoch 1:9) Why? because it's TRUE Christianity

@TazHall Mythological Brahma or Yahweh, the jealous and revengeful demi-urge god of Nature created Adam and Eve. Our Father in Spirit is the Real for without him, the person is dead.

@TazHall demi god of nature.

@singularity2007 Yup, many of us have taken the time to read these extra Gospels. Safe to say they are all crap when studied in comparison to the cannon. They're like bad Bible fanfiction.

@verse1923 Certain books were left out because they were full of random nonsense, were written long after the eyewitnesses were dead, and totally compromise the consistent message that trails back to Genesis. When you know the real deal, it's not hard ot pick out the counterfeits.

@chaksheba . . . God?

[chaksheba]

You still did not answer...who created adam and eve?

[chaksheba]

is not christ forever and always. He would br divine from moment he appeared on earth. Even angels called him savior in the manger. Was not hard for them to know he was divine.

@chaksheba As a child, Jesus didnt have the Holy Spirit. From his baptism onwards, he had the Holy Spirit. On what basis do you say that the Gospels weren't written by eyewitnesses? That's what you should be saying about "Gospel of Thomas", "Gospel of Judas" and the one of Mary, Why? Because they where NOT the ones who wrote those heretical books, they weren't alive when the books were written. They were from roughly 2nd to 4th century. John's gospel was written by John in-between 85 and 96AD.

@bobo577 you do know that the 4 Gospels in the bible were not written by the who they claim they were right? And also. Why is it hard to believe in Jesus miracle as a baby when he walks on water as an adult? He just all of the sudden at around age 30 is superman? Much is NOT written about him as a child in the cannon bible. There were over 30 Gospels when they chose which ones to put into the "Bible". More the 1 christain sect. Remember that.
