  • Hello there guys! This is part 2 of a video that will provide an in-depth examination of how our modern Bible was created and written and how it differs from the ancient texts of thousands of years ago. You will learn how the Bible has been "changed" or "altered" over time and what these changes mean and why they were made - everything from Goliath's Height to Jesus's sayings.
    Hope you enjoy and learn something new!

    Sorry for some reason the video rendered in 720p. I'm not sure what happened but hopefully it's not that big of a deal!
    Edit:
    I messed up a little bit in Number 1 when I was referring to the Gospel of Judas, the Gnostics, and the Nag Hammadi library. I oversimplified a lot in the essence of time and as a result a lot of nuance was lost, but the gist of it is largely correct. For example, I should have stated that not all the texts (like the Gospel of Judas, the Wisdom of Jesus Christ, and the Gnosis of the Invisible God) were discovered in the Nag Hammadi library but were discovered at different Gnostic sites/excavations.
    There were also a lot of other factors that determined what ended up as "canon" in early Christianity such as general popularity which I should have mentioned.

      the gospels of Matthew, Luke and John elaborate on things that happened after the women go to the tomb. not only that, but if you read the actual passage in Mark, it can be surmised that the ending where the women tell no one refers to the immediate timeframe of them experiencing these supernatural events and that when enough time had passed for them to calm down, they eventually told people which leads to the accounts in Matthew, Luke and John.

    I actually liked the clifhanger version of the ending more, not only it's a callback to the the beginning of Mark, but also to the story of Adam and Eve which tells a story of about choosing either obey or not to obey the commands of the lord, definitely puts the bible into a whole new different perspective or perhaps strengthening it's supposed theme.

    The note about Jesus’ stern character in Mark is actually really relevant to the Nag Hammadi texts: one argument against their validity is Jesus constantly getting stern in tone and even annoyed with his disciples in a few of the books, but there are several other instances throughout the original Bible that highlight that Jesus wasn’t always calm and gentle (him becoming irate and flipping tables of merchants comes to mind).

      Sometimes it's through straight up sanctioned ignorance. I remember being told in some of my theology courses that evangelical Christianity tends not to believe that people need education on the Bible.
      The main concern is that if people need study in order to believe, then very few will actually do so. (Whether this is motivated by opposition to gatekeeping or opposition to losing out on revenue is a case by case issue.)

      "Knowledge is power." Whoever has control of the truth can use it as a tool. Those who are denied the whole truth, thusly, also are denied some power, and yet, believing they are wise, themselves may be used as tools to convert and control others, until eventually, the partial truths are understood to be entire, when cognoscenti know, they are imperfect. Rulers in many societies around the world have been unscrupulous, using people's ignorance to gain and hold power, which also translates into monetary power, which is even stronger than mere words. "Power corrupts, and Absolute Power corrupts absolutely." Jesus's entire point was to have people gain their own, individual understandings of his deity concept by seeking ecstatic experiences, as he himself did, by various ascetic acts, such as going into the desert to "confront the devil." This shamanic approach is in direct opposition to rulers' power. Jesus was a rabbi in an oral Aramaic sect, which lay outside the confines of stricter, liturgical sects of Judaism at the time.

      Because they don't want people questioning the status quo. Educated people ask difficult questions.
      Christianity is largely an overlay to peoples everyday lives - that is they don't often believe it, but it's just there. Look at Christianity in other cultures, and you will see they have mingled Christianity with pre existing local beliefs, mainly in an attempt by the church to become relevant to the locals.

Neo-Pagans run a gamut from trying to rival organised, corrupted systems, to being simple, personal systems, using shamanic techniques to achieve ecstasy, and see the divine within ourselves and others. It's not all the same, and not all religious people are pretending, even if many are misguided. There isn't one "true" religion. There's just Science, and our Ultimate Creator's language is DNA codons, crafting ecosystems via evolution. People need to get back to understanding that we aren't apart from Nature, we're a part of Nature. There isn't anything more, other than meditative navel gazing.

      Bottom line>? All guesswork & more falsification to what is claimed as the word of a God. The only undeniable FACT is it ALL was written by humans. Now add in the admitted alterations & removal of some parts & face the true reality of today's "Holy Bible" , an altered FALSE edition of an extremely old book, used throughout history to commit sins against others.
      At the present time, being year 2022, the two most violently & "sinfil" religions or groups of people that claim to follow & believe in this book, throughout history are the:
      "Holy Catholic Church", run by the Vatican
      and
      "Islam/Sharia Law", under present control by a mixed group of warrior fanatics (Taliban, Al Queda,selfproclaimed prophets & Shahs, etc.) claiming to be muslems of some kind.
      Both groups are full of lying self-centered control freaks, ass-kissing wannabe's, sexual predators & pedophiles, from the very top to the living slaves at the bottom.
      Hopefully all followers of these "religeons" will suffer in the worst of all the Hells they "believe" in

      @andrewsuryali8540 4 роки тому +64

      But that may not have been the original purpose at all. The oldest Christian writings we have (from St. Paul) state that:
      "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
      And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
      And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:"
      (I Corinthians 15:3-5)
      So to the earliest Christians it was Cephas (Peter) who became the first official witness, not the women. The ending of Mark would have made perfect sense to them. The women were the first to see the opened tomb but not the first witnesses to the resurrected Jesus. In fact, they never saw the resurrected Jesus at all. They heard a story from some dude in the tomb. That's it. It was Peter who then became the first to encounter the resurrected Jesus and bear witness to the congregation. If you were a Christian living closer to the time of Paul, then you would have been reciting the same creed Paul recited in I Corinthians. Yet all our stories of Mary Magdalene indicate that she was important to the resurrection story, which hints that early Christians may also have had a competing story that Mary was the first witness, not Peter. So the original purpose of the ending of Mark may have been to reconcile the contradiction between the stories of Mary and the early Christian creed. Mary was first to the opened tomb but Peter was still the first proper witness like the creed says. Why? Because Mary didn't tell anyone. The women are specifically needed to satisfy the "on the third day" fulfillment of the supposed messianic prophecy. It wasn't enough that Jesus came back from the dead. He had to have come back on the third day. So if Peter had borne witness to the resurrection past the expiry date, some event had to have marked the event itself. The women became a convenient time marker of the supposed resurrection.

      It sounds great but would also run into a tooon of debate over what counts as scripture and what just counts as stories- for instance you could make a good case for Dante's Inferno or Milton's Paradise Lost as being influential enough on modern thought about the christian afterlife to count as scripture, as much as Enoch could have. We can't prove that Enoch wasn't written originally in the same way as Inferno was, as an imagining of what the afterlife could or might be that eventually became a part of public consciousness and belief

    Great video! I agree that “#1: Books Removed” could have been more nuanced, but you definitely get the gist correct! There were tons of other books floating around that Jews and Christians considered authoritative but later fell out of favor (e.g. Tobit and Enoch in particular). The Qumran sectarians apparently valued the Book of Enoch for example since a few copies were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. As for Christians, the Shepherd of Hermas is a better example than the Nag Hammadi books in my opinion. The Shepherd of Hermas was super popular and even appears alongside other New Testament compilations. Even the Codex Sinaiticus contains a copy of the Shepherd of Hermas!

I find the omnipotence provoking that thiese important books continue to unfold, revealing itself as prophesized; and timing of course is everything.
    Your purity impressed me and summarizes nicely what I have been feeling while on my own spiritual journey .I have met a brother who is just ahead on the same trail. It is satisfying to know of your many interests rather than trying to pass yourself off as some higher sort of being because you have explored and understood these books. Perhaps you struggle with bringing it into focus as I do.. I often feel filled with awe and delight knowing I am eternal being....and then I come across some possibilities and find them truthful in my heart but not quite fitting in with my yet unsolidified enlightenment. I only know that my desire to fulfill my seeking soul is the greates partI of who I am , and my belief grows stronger that for our Human race to continue, we are to love one another.

I attempted to teach this to people at a church I used to belong to and it resulted in my attendance dropping from about 12 people down to 0 after a few weeks. People just don't want to accept these facts and will argue with anger in their voices if you try to teach it to them. It was such a disappointing experience, I quit that church and although I still believe in Jesus very much, I don't attend any church any more because the priests and pastors and even nuns in the Catholic Church are all lying to those who attend classes they teach! It's so sad!

    I thought wine/vineger was Posca, which was made by wine turned to vinegar. It was a common military drink of the legions. So in that viewpoint, the legionnaires could have a supply. So the soldiers wanted Jesus to suffer longer, or thought thirst was a worse way to go than crucifixion.
    This I believe was a mistake due to the Greek authors not knowing anything about Roman military drinks.

      It wasn't to extend the torture.
      It was part of the mocking the soldiers did. The Roman soldiers mocked Jesus by sarcastically calling him a King. The crown of thorns, the tunic, etc was part of the sarcasm.
      Anyway, a sponge on a stick was a roman butt cleaning device.😅 (It was cleaned with sea water...not vinegar).
      Sponges weren't always used, cloth, cotton ball thingies, etc were available to most...and we're shared, publicly. Only wealthy people carried their own personal "sea sponge on a stick" butt cleaning device. E.g. A Roman soldier would think any king carries his own personal genuine sea sponge on a stick. And not a cloth stick, or something else.
      Second, the lower classes drank a drink called Posca. Vinegar mixed with water and sometimes, some flavouring (mostly herbs). The lower class Greeks adopted this strange drink but didn't have a word for it, so they just called it vinegar in Greek.
      The Upper classes hated this drink...and took offence it being offered to them as it's a symbol of being of low class. E.g., offering Posca to a noble, emperor, wealthy person, or a king would be a big insult.
      In Rome, at first, only well-off individuals could become soldiers...the type of people who would never drink posca. After Marius' military reforms, mostly the lower classes became soldiers (not counting officers). Eventually, soldiers were given Posca as part of their ration...daily.
      If a Roman soldier gave you a drink a Greek calls vinegar, in Greek, it's definitely Posca.
      The Roman soldiers were mocking Jesus with the epithet that read "King of the Jews" (continuing the King themed mocking). Offering Posca with a Sponge on a Stick, to a King, would be a massive insult/degrading...in a very sarcastic fashion.

See, there are three women witnesses, and a random dude had told them that Jesus rose, but they were so afraid they didn't tell anyone else."
      If God wanted to show the people that his messiah was risen, why not tell anyone? Why send some dude, without explanation of who he is (Mark sure is lazy here), and have him tell two random women? Surely, this guy or even God could go to the disciples. But a better question: if Jesus rose, why didn't he go to them personally? Or at least wait for the women? Surely, if something miraculous happened like rising from the grave, you'd tell it at least to the disciples who believe you are the messiah?

Women had a bigger role before some editing... I'm starting to think that the people who lived closer to Jesus's time than today took the stories a lot less literally, rather taking the lesson than the literal details, which btw seem to be blown out of proportion at this point. The original seems a lot more realistic/plausible... and a lot more morally conflicting. More human than the whitewashed stuff you get today (haha get it? Cause white Jesus? nvm).

    Great video as usual, Trey! I actually wrote a paper for my New Testament Greek class two years ago in which I argued that Mark did not end at verse eight of chapter 16 but that the original ending was simply lost. My reasoning for this was mainly that it would be incredibly strange for a book to end with the word γάρ. Γάρ is a postpositive conjunction used to connect two independent clauses; due to the syntactic constraints that govern its use, it almost never appears at the end of a sentence in the corpus of Greek literature and literally never at the end of an entire work. Because of this, I suspect that part of the original manuscript was lost and that the words εφοβουντο γαρ are really just a fragment of a longer sentence.

      What also was not mentioned in the video, or here, was the curious gap left between the ending of Mark and the beginning of Luke in Vaticanus that was not used for other books in the Codex.
      This lends to the longer ending being known to the scribe, and perhaps in his possession at his time. Due to unknown reasons, the shorter option won out.
      Further more, there is patristic evidence for the longer ending of Mark. Also of note, the portion of Luke that notes Christ "being in agony" also finds patristic evidence.
      The maker of the video failed to note that Luke has been archaeologically proven to have been alive in the first century, particularly during the time of Paul's journeys. He also claims to have been a companion of Paul's and also claims to have interviewed the witnesses themselves concerning Jesus and also "set the things in order."
      The gospels are accurate renderings of history. They are corroborated by 1 Corinthians 15, which is generally accepted by scholars as an original work of Paul's.

      Psalm 84 :11 For the Lord God is a sun 🌞
      John 8 :12 I am the Light of the world🌞
      Malachi 4:2 Sun of righteousness 🌞
      That's why they put a picture of the Sun on some the Bibles instead of a drawing of Jesus.
      The Old Testmement was written in Hebrew, Hebrew word for Sun is Shemash, Shemash was the Sun-God of the Sumerians and the Babylonians in 2,100 BC.
      That's why Christians worship on a SUNday🌞, they worship a ancient Sun-God and don't even know it🤣

      @@gamma_ray20xx53 it boils down to Adam and Eve spoke to our creators ,I personally believe it was more than one but regardless of the fact . what was the language they spoke to our creator(s) in?
      here's where it gets really interesting no matter which concept of a higher power you choose to go with, it says that a higher power gave you a language they wanted to talk you in. to not only talk to them and everybody else, because it's the perfect language . now for some reason or another as the story goes. you know that all-knowing All-Seeing. all smarter than you in so many ways . higher power, kind of power. did something WRONG according to what a man said. *a man came up with a story that said* . now the same creators think it's time to forget that language and go with a whole bunch of new ones ..in fact the new ones, we're willing to record n let you even remember as far as history is concerned . the Vatican does have more space than Disneyland, underground and its all full of books somebody's keeping track and nobody's telling you anything that's what I mean by Sponged, if you sponge out the beginning and a whole lot of The Middle . the end of it can be anything you want and somebody actually managed to make that statement true.
      according to any thick Book of Dogma, in the beginning you're going to find something that says. *in the beginning, he created the heavens and the Earth* ( let's get this straight, is the heavens n Earth already completed? because this is day one, if it's already done...) and then usually if you keep reading that same book, you're going to find , that the moon came way after the fact .you could say the moon came , many moons later. according to what I keep telling people , *in the beginning he made a Pizza Planet put a dome on top and renovated the basement* ; if you truly think about it that's all that was created up to that point ,hence in the beginning he created the heavens and the Earth; there is no moon , there is no reason to go up.
      most books will stay away from the word Creator or even creators . they will substitute a whole bunch of other words, which in the average person's mind makes them think of creators while they are saying something completely different
      if you do a little bit of research, in the 50s and 60s the US military has project Fishbowl and project Dominic which in short boiled down to, firing missiles of the spooky nookie kind, at the firmament and if that didn't do anything .then I don't think our creators really gave a damn about some guy building a tower to try and touch the firmament and that's how I came up with the fact that the Tower of Babel story is a very pretty story but not very true
      oh Lord, thundering Jesus ,king of kings ,savior O saviors, The Holiest of Holy Spirit, the truth, the life, the light, the way , you know what I'm wondering as you read all that stuff ? which one of those words actually says, *my Creators* ? whole bunch of words not to my creators? , just who the hell are you talking about ?? let me tell you .about a book that has been *Rewritten. Revised ,Remastered, Re translated* and after it's gone through all that, it was given to the Kings for them to take their favourite parts out and then one more Revision by the Pope (Protector Of Pedophiles Everywhere) just to nail it down so to speak. is that the thick book you're going to quote from? it's been *Re* this and *Re* that, so bad that, someone once said it's the oldest game of telephone going? nobody wants to know that satanists originally changed their Satanic Bible A-round to appease the sheeple ;change the few names A-round, they kept the word bible though . it's a shame that the person reading this doesn't know that; if you come at a holy book, with a with some ink or an eraser there's no magical glow that's going to overtake the book and destroy the pen in your hand or crumble the Eraser into a million pieces. if this is your impression of what happens when you come at a holy book with the intent of changing a few words around I, feel, really, sorry, for you . the truth is nothing happens and the words just get changed around but afterwards they will happily tell you. there was a light and it stopped us from ruining the word of A God ; not your creators. just a puny God ; Hallelujah :means ur life belongs to Alla (Satan``s Top 5 names)
      *I am the light* let's see; how well you know your Christian Bible. if I was to ask you ,who is the bearer of light? what would your answer be? *I am the truth* what did the serpent tell Eve just before she bit into the forbidden fruit ? something like, all I offer you is, the , something, something, itsssss, on the tip of my tongue and *I am the way* because that's been hidden in your book and that's the satanists taking one little jab; in the left direction? .the way is hidden from the sheeple? so . I am the truth, the life, the light the way .who the hell is that guy anyways and why do the satanists want you to go up to hell ??and not tell you the truth of where Heaven is ? I guess that's why they had to invent that pretty ball that you think you live on
      the most important msg they want put out there is when u die they want u to tell folks to go up, straight to hell. if hollywood is run by satanists n they keep tellin u god lives upstairs; that's true. BUT ..if I like big buts and I cannot lie ,then baby this one is the biggest buts of them all...ur creators that made the 7th angel of LITE ,who didnt like it in heaven n left,, called himself *the 1 true god* ,of hell ,BUT your creators , live down stairs. Sumerian one of the 1st ones in our WRITTEN existence BAFF is on the top 5 of 1st names given to satan (who composes this song). Hallelujah :means ur life belongs to Alla ( Satans Top 5 names); thers no remix,no remakes; thers 1 other version only kids can sing; n u can only wear black or wite,red or purple .kids can wear yellow. im sure u heard it n now watch in a new light ua-cam.com/video/fwMowPviUAQ/v-deo.html all u saw was either satanic or satanic over tones n a flat earth for secrets in plain site....oh yeah *its flat as fuk, peace n love* .
      in the beginning there were very limited amount of words and each word had a specific meaning ,if you say hallelujah, slow enough you will hear the word Alla but don't trust your human hearing trust some guy who's going to tell you it has to be about Jesus Christ, after all . did the Muslims have a remote chance of having something correct here ?even though in the end, all three religions will state they believe in the same God, not your creators ,just a puny God
      there's a few folks in the flat-earth community that decided to take a look at what is on the other side of the firmament and the general consensus , it's not a liquid. I keep telling people Heaven Is Down and now some other stuff about God and Truth according to the way I see those words. I hope I'm not talking to someone whose head is as thick as the book they believe in
      the code that I'm working on right now, what do these words mean? ua-cam.com/video/_UR42poPhxY/v-deo.html
      except you have to consider that it's being hidden by the same people that sponged, all of our languages and only put forward the ones they wanted to present to the rest of society . if you start digging, anything past Sumerian,, it's a brick wall . unless of course you have access to the Vatican Library which I don't ,so I can only go on the facts that they're trying to present secrets in plain sight; a good example would be ``. Mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be. `` Tammuz or Ramses , was the first person to Proclaim himself Satan in human form and his mother's name was Mary. (the extra short version is) after Mother Mary took her kids life and all his Fame. that story can be found in the Satanic Bible .now most Christians will scream that you should not look at the Satanic Bible and that's only because they don't want you to see, the two books are virtually identical except the names have been changed, to protect the guilty but as long as you don't look and by the way looking does not mean accepting. because I really don't want to hear ,how you think I'm pushing the satanic agenda
      they started with hiding the fact that *you can cure you of anything that's wrong with you* to invent modern medicine; which cured cancer around 1945 but if they told mainstream that ; it's completely cured. how .FrEaKing HOW would they continue to siphon 120 million dollars a day for cancer research, plus another 50 million from NASA Who currently tripled its funding with the Artemis Space Program; you're going to find various other means and methods , they manage to put forward to plunder and pillage approximately *five hundred million dollars every single day just out of North America alone* and then there's the Russians and the EU on the other side. to fund various programs like the one I got stuck in?
      PS I get as a very popular response to this post a person will start out saying this is all completely wrong but they never ever say what or why it's wrong?
      i got the information necessary to stop this mess ,if you had tools stopping this without breaking any laws n its all legally and peacefully . which is a lot better than the options that they're asking you to pick, believe me you're going down a path they're jerry-rigging for you;; if you want to find out a little more about that I can explain ,just be ready to get some answers that have nothing to do with mainstream

    It's my understanding as well, that there was a practice of "divination" used by the clergy and high officials when the choice needed to be made as to which books were to be included in the canon.
    The candidate books were spread out on a table in the evening and the plan was that in the morning, those books to be selected would be on the table and all others would be on the floor.

DON'T BELIEVE THE LIE, READ THE BIBLE AND ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR BEFORE YOU DIE AND IT'S TOO LATE FOR YOU.

    I've always found the stories in the Bible incredibly interesting, even if my actual belief in them has been minor. If one views them as mythology, then they are just as interesting as the Norse and Greek. I remember this awesome animated series from when I was a kid, where each episode was a story from the Bible, animated in a different style. Wonderful stuff, and something anyone who appreciates a good story should check out, wether they are religious or not. 🙂

      @ I'm not quite sure what you mean with "knowledgeable men", but I agree that the gospels are different and comparing them to myths are a stretch. I do think they are mythologized versions of real events , so the comparison isn't too far-fetched, but they do have a quite different function. (Some of the texts in the New Testament are straight up political, and have a very clear real-world purpose.) Still, as an agnostic, I do find both the myths of old and the texts in the Bible to have a similar function: Worldviews and ideas that in some regards are outdated, but still has something to teach us.

    • @freaknr1
      @freaknr1 4 роки тому +4

      @Ninja Crackpot I don't quite get what you are saying, but I guess you argue that the New Testament is based on real events? I agree with you on that, and my statement wasn't meant to argue that they are the same thing, but that they have a similar function to a non-believer like myself: old stories that shouldn't be taken at face value, but that still have wisdom in them that we could consider today.
      The funny thing is that Snorre, who wrote down most of the Norse myths we know today, was a Christian and tried to justify the myths as real historical stories, but that the gods weren't real gods, only mighty kings and heroes claiming to be God. He even snuck in references to "the true God", mightier than Odin.
      A friend of mine wrote a master's theises on how the story of Odin hanging himself in Yggdrasil to gain knowledge might have been influences by Christian stories of Jesus' crucifixion that the Vikings heard on their travels. He didn't really fully believe this himself, as the thesis was mostly a critique of the "one old God" theory that is popular, where scholars think Odin and Wodan and other northern-european gods are just different versions of a singular original deity. My friend wanted to show how such singular views with arguable evidence could limit our openness to different possibilities.

      @@mharclerode However, with Jesus and the other two, this was special. The other two were not thieves but insurgents and since Jesus was seen as a major trouble maker, this crucifixion was meant to show others what would happen to them if they didn't shut up and tow the line. There are drawings of a man with the head of a donkey on a cross, this was meant to represent Jesus. Crucifixions were extremely shameful and the donkey was considered to be a very lowly animal. People could not understand why anyone would worship someone who died so shamefully and he also rode a donkey into Jerusalem with the people laying palm fronds in front of him as though he was a king on a majestic mount. So, a crucified man with the head of a donkey was used to represent Jesus (Yeshua).

    Corrections and Omissions:
    Enoch wasn't some fantastic discovery from a single source. There are manuscripts of it in multiple different collections and it's a part of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo church.
    Gnostics weren't a sect of Christianity. The term "gnostic" is a label of convenience that we use these days to refer to a number of somewhat diverse texts and purported belief systems, largely because a guy who wrote a letter had a real mad on for them. Given their notions of secret knowledge they most likely represented an approach to Christianity that took the form of a mystery cult (like Freemasons or Scientologists). Early Christianity was quite a bit more diverse than you seem to be giving it credit for. Specifically, there was no orthodoxy of any sort. It basically started out with "Once upon a time there was this rad zombie," and derivative traditions kind of ran with it however they wanted to. The specific elements that made the zombie rad or even the general disposition of the zombie were pretty variable.
    "Gnosticism" also didn't necessarily originate from Christianity so far as we can tell. The exact origins aren't nailed down, but the influences that formed it definitely predated the origins of Christianity, with potential Neoplatonic, Persian, and Buddhist faiths all contributing to its formation. To my untrained eye it sure does look like a cosmology as complex and sharply deviant from now-orthodox Christianity probably had to come from somewhere and didn't emerge all by itself, but that's just the guess of one idiot.
    The only evidence we have that the Nag Hamadi library was deliberately hidden to avoid persecution is the aforementioned mad on. It's entirely likely that the manuscripts are just regular old burial trappings. With no orthodoxy there would be no organized church and therefore no body to execute any specific persecution.
    It's pronounced BAR-bel-oh. There's a complex cosmology that a lot of the so called gnostic texts share. In this case, Barbelo is kind of a confusing concept, since it is characterized as both an entity and a plane of existence. Suggesting that Jesus emerged from the realm of Barbelo thus lands somewhere between Docetist and Arian belief, both of which were still contested subjects even after Constantine adopted Christianity as the state religion of Rome. I suggest that this argues even more strongly that there wasn't any specific, directed persecution aimed at Christian mystery cults even then.
    The Gospel of Judas isn't as kind to Judas as you indicate. While he's the only one among the disciples who recognizes Jesus as an emanation from Barbelo and as generally opposed to the Demiurge, Jesus still treats him like a child and basically pats him on the head and tells him to run along. Jesus is actually kind of an ass in that one.
    One theory of Mark that you don't get into deserves mention. Christians wanted to differentiate themselves from Jews early on, and one of the ways that they did that was in the form of the documents that they kept their scripture on. Jews used scrolls and Christians used codices (books). One hypothesis holds that one of the earliest versions of Mark (from which the ones we have derived) had a page that simply fell out. Indeed - highlighting a difference in tone between Mark and Matthew/Luke (the three Synoptic Gospels) then poses some tension with what is still accepted as the most likely formation of authorship - the two-document hypothesis. If some redactor were to combine Mark (or proto-Mark) with an hypothesized sayings gospel (Q), it would still leave open the question of where the end of the narrative would have come from, since sayings gospels are specifically NOT narrative in their construction. Given that most of the widely accepted theories assume Marcan priority, however, if we're going to consider Matthew and Luke as derivatives (because they do inherit things from Mark) that would seem to imply the existence of a lost synoptic gospel.

    Thank you, Trey. Your time in researching and your efforts to share your findings are much appreciated. I agree that this information need not make us question the word of God, but leads us to look for witnesses which stand together to verify the truth of God. So often, people take offense at the eighth Article of Faith of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints which states "8 We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God."
    People often falsely assume that such a statement diminishes the authenticity and worth of the Bible. Not so. It is simply being honest. I revere both the Old and New Testaments and love studying them as I do the Book of Mormon. One can hear the voice of the Ultimate Author in all of them. I want all of His word I can get, especially in the face of the mists of darkness creeping over the earth.
    Thanks again for sharing.
