It also comes as no suprise that people who don't eat meat are MUCH more healthy than those who do.

The introduction reads:

"An Irish clergyman, Rev. G. J. Ouseley claims to have discovered the Original Gospel from which the present Four Gospels were derived, which, he says, was "preserved in one of the Buddhist monasteries in Tibet, where it was hidden by some of the Essene Community for safety from the hands of the corrupters, and is now for the first time translated from the Aramaic."

I don't think there's any independent source that would verify this Gospel.. i came across it several years ago. There is no evidence of any original Aramaic manuscript that I've heard of and the likelihood of an Aramaic document being in an Tibetan monastery sounds pretty remote..

That was an interesting site. I sometimes wonder how old the Gospels really are and would there be any way of knowing if they had been copied for centuries before those today believe they were written.
I always read the whole Bible as written at "one time" anyway, and who know when in the past the first originals were actually written down. Thanks for that link.

quote: What was so shocking to the scholars who examined the ancient documents was that there was a community of people practicing Christianity, or something very close to it, for at least 200 years before the time of Christ. Both the practice of baptism and of the sharing of the wine are recorded as part of their practices long before Jesus and John the Baptist popularized them.

The Dead Sea Scrolls Deception is a book that details the explosive contents of the Dead Sea Scrolls and how the Church conspired to suppress them. ................

John 11:48 "If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place/topon <5117> and nation."

Reve 12:7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael [Daniel 12] and his messengers fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his messengers fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place/ topoV <5117> found for them in the Heaven any longer.
