it was amazing

I admit I am an admirer to Bart D. Ehrman and read a lot his books. There are other sources that reveal the hidden books that were among the Christian and their writings that in my opinion most of what is written by Christians to some degree are inspired by the Holy Spirit. Most believers will confess they walk a better life when looking to what the leading of the Holy Spirit will teach.

In his book he shows that different religions since the time of Christianity, but what is missing is fundamentalism of the main gospels and the letters were placed in their to prove Paul's case before Rome. Luke his dear friend would right to his political friend in hopes that when PAUL stood before court he would be released. At least he was the first time. Since then religions were popping up everywhere, and most of the letters or information were forever destroyed this was their way of communicating long distance at the time.

With the founding fathers aware of this they began to have their creeds written to give the church strength which it was for at least 50 years. In this book the collections did not happen during this time, but there were many who were being destroyed for pure pleasure of the Romans non faith in anything really.

Many of these letters are held sacred today in Orthodox versions of their bible. Historians kept a point of view on how they saw the new faith in a man professed to be God.

This will include letter fragments from authors such as Mary Magdalene which I think wrote Hebrews or it could have been any one of the women that followed Jesus. Every since women have had a time of it just trying to be educated and knowing the Lord to be able to preach the word. Which when led my the Holy Spirit all things are possible with God. Who knows how many women have had a walk that was rejected by men who thought of them higher in position than what they ought.

I think Jesus was rejected because of his odd behavior as a child, God being so pure and seeing men as they really are gives way to condemnation. So some may have experienced the wrath as God was developing his human side to conform with the spiritual. This is why I think he went away from the age after 12 to 30 to be educated and influenced in the eastern way of life only to develop truth so that each people could understand truth.

The people then were not Christians and were very evil and more so as were the children. Heathens, and they were influenced by their own lusts and desires, and thought of no one but themselves. I believe it is possible for an earthly Jesus to not accept evil of others and did not understand the concepts of blessings until he met his mentor(s) as Zachaeus heard the wisdom and understood he was different than others. Jesus destroyed other demons later written in the gospels...he also matured to understand it was demons to be cast away not people to be punished, and that he was destined to do much more than that.

There are many instances that will give the mind something to expand into the unknown truths of God and how the human side is vulnerable to many things in life.

I have read many books similar to this book, so I just leave it up to the Holy Spirit to guide me through all that the world is and hope to see truth in all things.

Why couldn't there be other writings on Christians we read them everyday walking into bookstores and even writing them ourselves...of course we all have growing stages to go through. Jesus was not so different when it came to his human side. He just grew quicker than most and God sent him to learn. That is why he was so pleased with him as Jesus became the son and man God could really hope for.
