Why quote chapter verse? You are the bible scholars. Looks like you haven't read your bible which you quote so often. I'm sure you will read or ask to find out. Ill answer the other post about paul's gospel. I said Paul's truth was there pretty well concealed. The translators changed it between 300 and 400 A.D. where it couldn't be proved a lie. when he referred to Christ they always added the word Jesus of or substituted it. If you can't learn anything on the internet its your ignorance. Study Java and know your search machines. The internet doesn't use force to distribute communication. It is evident to any searching all the history that the bible was a medley of myths and mostly Greek Mithra worship that had the soteriolgy. They got the doctrine of the "eucharist" from Africa and prehistoric cannibalism. From Attis, celibacy and the command of auto - emasculation. From Semitic peoples of 2700 B.C. the Mother-Goddess principles. From Pythagorian Greek doctrines communism and celibacy. From Persia the meta-physical dualism of good and evil, the virgin birth, belief in Demons, and the prophecy of Armegeddon, Last judgment and the intense concepts of heaven and hell. From Brahmans of India concept of clergy as direct representative of the greeat Father. The elaboraate scheme of freeing men from their guilt, excommunion, immunity of taxes by the priesthood, several sanctions against a remarried woman, and excluding women from the priesthood. From Buddhism glorification of celibacy, separation of civil and religious codes of conduct. Emphasis on poverty, equating it with sainthood, renunciation of the flesh, and most of all ethics which was passed along almost in its entirety. The four primary components of the "Gospel" of Jesus are: Soteriology from the mystery cults, ethics primarily from India, eschatology mostly from Persia , and the supernatural Messsianic concept , which was an Essene adaptation of a Zoroastrian doctrine. The essenes were Pythagarians who encased their pagan religious synthesis as written exists in a state of duality. It is exactly the reverse of the secular way of life which we have developed. The Christian gives a lip service to a philosophy of life which is diametrically opposed to his actual manner of existence. For this reason countless millions read their gospel without the faintest idea of its meaning.
