WHY DID CHRISTIANITY TURN ITS BACK

ON VAST CHRISTIAN WRITINGS?

John Stone

 

 

Christianity-Revealed.com has identified at least 92 Christian writings/books which were deliberately left out of the New Testament? Why?

Perhaps they told that Jesus was just a simple man, an observant Jew. OR perhaps, all those writings did not agree with what the early church fathers wanted their new religion to be and the masses to believe. 

Think about it! Just who were those early church fathers who created the Christian bible? Who exactly taught the Early Church Fathers? What were they taught? They could not read the Hebrew Bible.

What you do know about them is they were once dedicated to pagan mythology; that they canonized ― carried over their concepts of pagan myths ― these views into the writings of the Christian bible. And, until the invention of the printing press 1, no one outside of the church was permitted to have a bible, to read or study it. For almost 1,500 years the church was a monopoly; serving to brainwash the minds of their sheeple as to what their god ― Invisible Man in the Sky ― was supposedly all about!

Your Christian Bible is composed of 27 books of which 48% are by one writer, known as Paul? Why? Because that was the theology the Church wanted to implement! Christianity is not about the Jesus (god incarnate) character's religion; it is a created religion about Jesus―it is Pauline Christology.

Christianity has divided your bible into three categories:

·         Historical Books –  Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts

·         Pauline Epistles – Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Thessalonians. 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon

·         Non-Pauline Epistles – Hebrews, James, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, Jude, Revelation

The 92 books that are identified below were totally rejected by the early church fathers from their "official" (canonized) bible. They  may be grouped into four categories: 1. Gospels; 2. Acts; 3. Writings and 3. Apocalypses.  Some may wonder why we did not include Gnostic writings in the list below; because these sects were not really Christian.
