ACCURACY??? How can you judge its accuracy? By whose standards? :confused: :confused::confused:

Then I guess God also likes marijuana, tobacco, cocaine, etc.? AND who do you think "invented" evil? Put that down to God too? If you listen to intellectuals like C.S. Lewis you ain't gonna learn much Spiritual Truth.

Quite so, BUT the original Gospel of Matthew which was penned in Hebrew (or Aramaic) was used and preserved by the Ebionites (the Jewish followers of Yehoshua - later to be outcast by Gentile/Roman orthodoxy as heretics), and is very different to the edited/translated 'orthodox' Matthew we know...

"Bless the church"?!? What on Earth do you mean? In which/what ways has God blessed any church/congregation? As far as I can see the only blessings given to any church are either psychic or physical/material - and therefore of satan.

If you mean by "legalism" - THE ETERNAL SPIRITUAL LAW of GOD, then yes, most certainly I would admit to LOVING GOD'S UNCHANGING LAW. Of course, many people think that God is not Supreme, All Knowing, and Unchanging, and assume that He, like so many mere mortals, will need to change His...

The following selection is excerpted from Montague Rhode James in The Apocryphal New Testament (Oxford: Clarendon Press 1924), pp. 8-10. (referring to the 'Gospel of the Ebionites'): All our knowledge of this is derived from Epiphanius, and he uses very confusing language about it (as about...

Another word which has similar alternatives in Greek is "locust" and "bread cakes" (akris & encris) - so perhaps John the Baptiser actually ate bread and honey instead of locusts.

So what did you use as your source(s) for the translation? :confused::confused:

Perhaps this "good representation" (at best!) is not so good, because of what Christianity has become - totally lost and split into numerous heresies.

WILDBOAR, I'm afraid this is all HOGWASH ;) :)

Since Jesus (Yehoshua) and his contemporary disciples/Apostles were mostly simple uneducated country folk - like fishermen and such - they would not have spoken the language of their pagan Roman conquerors, but rather their own local dialect of the time, i.e. Aramaic. Quite simply, Jesus would...

Well, that would make Jesus a heretic then! Unless you think he was ignorant of Truth/Spirit/Elohim. ;)

In case anyone is wondering why I titled the thread as I did - it is simply because the book in question is about genuine gnosis (NOT the sectarian/heretical kind). PLU ~ Bob :)

This book - "CHURCH OF GOD? OR THE TEMPLES OF SATAN" - will definitely move you one way or the other, depending on your Spiritual/carnal capabilities or desires. But I warn you, it is not for the religiously comfortable. :thumbsup:

It's not MY Manna that we are talking about ~ and if that's the best that a "senior veteran" of this site can do, then all I can say is God help you all!

Quite so. Books provide suggestions ~ pointers, like signposts. But they cannot reveal (SPIRITUAL) Truth (with a higher case "T"). The article about Paul reveals a worldly truth ~ not Spiritual Truth. Hope you can understand and also comprehend ;)

And there's no such thing like Durian fruit, either - tastes like heaven, but smells like hell!;)

Actually, very little, if any at all, of the New Testament was written by people who had ever met Yehoshua or heard him speaking. If it had of been written by those that followed him and heard him speak, it would have surely been composed in Aramaic. None of the NT scriptures were originally...

You must mean that there is no such thing as Christianity! I agree. PLU ~ Bob :)

Seems you know your way around the gutter very well! :D PLU ~ Bob :)
