OP - July 27, 2015, 12:09 AM

So, I did a short (*cough* 8 pages isn't short *cough*) thing on Matthew being a gnostic gospel and how most of the nice quotable lines in it are designed to throw you off the scent of the REAL Jesus who is basically the anti-hero version of who most modern Christians think is Jesus. Anyway, it's here if you're interested: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1taxYc8nt5Ep7oUkB3SHzhxEo7PcHEg_CLLgZsLlBJrU/edit

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for I have a sonic screwdriver, a tricorder, and a Type 2 phaser.

Very interesting GM, I enjoyed the read .... had not really thought about it much, but you are right, there is a sort of inhuman gnostic cult aspect to the way Jesus presents what is required of his followers in Matthew.

Have you read Bad Jesus? The basis seems very similar.

I will read your paper later tonight

well US of A Girl., I will be more interested in reading and exploring the life of these historic figures that are mentioned in OT, NT and Quran if you write something about Christ, His life and timeline of his life from historical sources and from NT + other writers of that time., that would be nice and interesting instead of this gnostic GOSSIP.. lol.. but that is a good one but what is roach infection??

Do not let silence become your legacy.. Question everything
I renounced my faith to become a kafir,
the beloved betrayed me and turned in to a Muslim

His apartment has roaches and the management was making no effort to get rid of them. I could do biographies of Jewish, Christan and Muslim personalities, if there's interest, i have done that in the past and I've done ghost writing of more stuff than ive published on my own channels.
