Let me start off by saying that these are opinions I truly believe in and I will not sugar coat my statements. If this is offensive to anyone, please undesrtand this is historically accurate and it is not something that I am pulling out of the air.
"The Bible did not arrive by fax from heaven" -Martyn Percy
Indeed this is true, the Bible is a product of man, not God. Man crated the bible to document the horrible times of man and it evolved through many translations, versions and such meaning history never had a definitive version. Jesus was terribly important, he was probably the most inspirational leader in history of man. Given the title Messiah, he inspired people and founded new philosophies. His life was also documented by his followers across the land.
Moer than 80 gospels were to be included in the New Testament but howerever very few were chosen. Mathhew, Mark, Luke, John....etc.
AS to who chose these....it comes to conservative Christians as digsuting (I don't know why). Pagans decided the original issueing of the Bible. More importantly, COnstantine the Great. He was baptized on his deathbed. Before Christianity came into full effect, Rome's religion was sun worship, the cult Sol Invictus, and Constantine was the head priest. However, 300 years after Christ was crucified, his followers spread and multiplied exponentially. Pagans and Christians had feuds and the conlfict threatened to tear Rome up in two. So in 325 A.D., Constantine unified Rome under a single religion, Christianity.
By fusing pagan symbols, dates, rituals and so on into the Christian tradition, he created a religion acceptable to both parties (egyptian sun disks are halos on catholic saints, isis nursing her son horus is a mirror image of mary and baby jesus, the miter, the altar, doxology, communion...all from pagan religion). Also, pre-christian god mithras was born on december 25th, died, was buried in a cave, and then ressurected in 3 days. Also churchgoes go to church on sunday having no idea they are there on teh account of a pagan sun god's weekly tribute-SUNday!
Now, Constantine needed to solidify Christianity so he held a ecumenical gathering. The Council of Nicaea. Aspects of Christianity were debated and voted on- Easter, bishops, and the divinity of Jesus. Meaning until that moment in history, Jesus was viewed as a MAN by his followers...a MORTAL prophet and NOT the son of God. So now Jesus was a deity whose status was unchallengable. Basically, Constantine took advantage of Christ's status and has therefore shaped Christianity into its current entity.
However, because of Jesuss upgraded status 400 years after his death, documents existed chronicling his life as a mortal. so constantine made a new bible and burned the earlier gospels. Also, all people who chose the earlier gospels, were burned (heretic= haereticus meaning 'choice'...those who CHOSE christ's original history were the world's first heretics). Today, some of the earliest gospels were found howerver (Dead Sea Scrolls, Coptic Scrolls). These documents speak of Christ in very human terms. But of course the vatican had to follow its tirade of misinformation and suspend the scrolls from their release (the vatican is made up of deeply pious men who belive thse contrary decomunets are false testimony). This means everything our fathers told us about Christ is false.
ALso, the Last Supper doesn't have 13 men on it. It has 12 men and 1 woman. Mary Magdelene. Christ was not only human, he was married. A quote from the Dead Sea Scrolls.
"And the companion (in these times it mean SPOUSE)of the saviour is Mary Magdelene. Christ loved her more than all the disciples and used to kiss her often on her mouth. The rest of the disciples were offended by it and expressed dissaproval. They said to him, "Why do you love her more than all of us?"
If you look closely at the Last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinci, this passage further solodifies the statment that Jesus was not a lonley man. On the left side of Jesus, the disciple supposedly being John is really a woman, look closely at her face, the contours of her bussom. Also look at Peter's hand, in a cutting like shape on her throat. This displayed the tension the rest of them felt towards her. Also note the V jesus and mary magdelene create. (V stands for 'chalice'...or the symbol for the Holy Grail, meaning Mary Magdelene, the womb that bore Jesus' lineage). Also it is important to note that not ONE wine cup is being passed around. All the men have wine glasses.
