Thanks for the Marcion reference. I probably won't go looking for the Mark Prophet thing. It sounds like he made it up out of nothing. The idea of 2 teachings is right in the NT text though, so I don't he has anything "stunning". It's called "mystery cult". It's like a video game, you get tired of the one story, so they say, "but there's more, there's this other adventure that you are now ready for", to get you to buy the next version.
No. It's really good book. He is a rogue one. He doesn't belong to the religious establishment at all. A good part of the book was just too wild for me to follow, and I plan to re-read it to work to absorb its content after I read the other 3, but the one where he would discuss various scriptures within the context he believes applies. Man, did I have a good ride or what!? it was awesome. And I don't think he made up anything. he might be wrong about some points on honest basis, but not to intentionally mislead his readers. I don't think so. I have been looking up Jesus for quite some times now and many other authors who are also the typical "heretics", having nothing to do with him, do state that some of the Apostles if not all of them have a second books that we never Knew anything about.
I've read the NT few times and I have not noticed that. Would you be kind to give me an example of how the 2 teachings for different societal classes already is in there please, because I can't remember any. And I m not playing any games here. This is an honest question.
Dude. I love you guys and girls: For the Atheists that you are, you sure are better Christians than we could ever hope to be. This is so spooky and weird. LOL.
thanks so much for the thread.
