Look over to the right side of page. Apparently, the current issue of TIME, which I haven't received via mail yet, is on the LOST GOSPELS. What are they?

The Lost Gospels are the gnostic gospels.

[seeker42]

These are fake gospels, written by people who are not Christians, by people who are opposed to the message of Salvation by Faith alone in Christ Jesus.

They are either Gnostic or Occult. They are a way to attack the Bible. This is the latest effort by secularist Textual Critics, who have rejected the message of the Bible and are trying to corrupt it – in order to get Christianity sidetracked onto – literally, a different gospel. Some of these are often – these days – promoted by two sources:

1. The Jesus Seminar – This is a group of Jesus-hating false scholars who are using their academic positions to try to work against Christianity.

2. Elaine Pagels – She is a professor and a promoter of the Gnostic false “Gospel of Thomas”, where a false Jesus is advocating belief in our own individual god-hood (which is a false and blasphemous teaching). The Early Church and the Apostles never used the Gospel of Thomas. It was invented (after the Canon of Scripture was closed) after 120 A.D.

Time and other newsmagazines have a bad habit of promoting almost any view of “Christianity” that undermines true historic Christianity or the plain message of the Bible, all in the name of “authentic” Christianity. This is simply the clever trick of the editors to help lead people astray. Most of the articles in newsmagazines on Christianity demonstrate that the authors have no sympathy of Christianity, the Bible or Christians.

If they did, they would be reporting on the Human Rights violations and persecutions of Christians around the world. Somehow, they rarely have the time to help cover those events.

Much like the lost episodes of the Honeymooners, except that they were actually funny.

"Lost gospels" is very much the argument that LDS uses to prove that LDS belief is really what Jesus and the apostles taught, but the text was "lost" until Joseph Smith, Jr. "restored" it.

This sort of stuff gets a hearing all the time. :confused

The Bible is finished. The Incarnate Word is His final revelation.

I believe Saddam's capture has caused us to once again loose these gospels by preempting the coverage.

This is soooo true. I've noticed a big push lately among evangelicals to have these so-called gospels included in the perverted modern versions.

You may disagree, but I am sure.

(Please note that I did not say ALL evangelicals.)

Sure of which part? That some evangelicals have shown interest in the Lost Gospels (true)? Or that modern versions are incorporating the Lost Gospels (not true)?

(Please note that I did not say ALL evangelicals.)

Exactly which modern translations are trying to incorporate the Lost Gospels?
