This series of books makes that study possible, in some cases for the first time, as new Gospels have been uncovered and translated, and are contained herein.In addition you will read where Jesus refers to 'The Holy Spirit' as his mother, an original account of 'The Lords Prayer' told years before Christ, additional prophecies of the life & death of Christ and different accounts of the crucifixion.This includes such priceless verses such as 'the kingdom of God is all around you but you do not see it', The Kingdom of God is NOW and IT is in YOU; split a piece of wood or turnover a rock and you will find ME.According to scholarly estimates, there were at least twenty gospels and many epistles that were removed from the biblical canon by various councils, such as The Council of Nicea, over a thousand years ago. Luckily, several that appeared to be missing have been found recently. The most important point is that the canon was edited for political and cultural reasons, to form a narrative that is different from actual events, and a full understanding of Christianity or CHRISTIAN PHILOSOPHY is not complete without a study of these additional works.The authors and councils that compiled and edited The New Testament texts got some of their information from earlier writings. Modern scholars call these earlier writings "sources", and have determined that there were probably three of them.These three lost sources may have been the first gospels. Their ancient names are unknown, so they are usually identified by modern names, specifically the Lost Q Source, the Pre- Markan Passion Narrative, and the Signs Gospel. Because no copies of any of them have been found, they are sometimes called hypothetical gospels. Other gospels have been discovered more directly, because actual physical remains have been found. Examples include The Gospel of Peter, the Gospel of Mary, and the Gospel of Judas. All of these were discovered in modern times. These rediscovered gospels are named after Simon Peter, Mary Magdalene, and Judas Iscariot. The Gospel of Mary has recently been verified in both ink and type of papyrus.Ancient writers mentioned a number of other gospels which existed. These include but are not limited too: The Gospel of Matthias, The Gospel of Perfection, The Gospel of the Seventy, The Dialogue of the Savior, The Gospel of the Twelve, The Book of the Hebrews, The Gospel of the Nazarenes, The Gospel of Bartholomew, The Secret Gospel of Mark, and The Gospel of Eve. Other gospels may have also existed.In addition early church leaders intentionally destroyed some books in order to cover up embarrassing facts about the origins of Christianity.These texts are a must read for those who wish to know the whole story surrounding the "New Testament."
