The believers will only say that the book was there to test the faithful, you just can't beat them.

Quote:Much to the dismay of the Vatican, an approx. 1500-2000 year old bible was found in Turkey, in the Ethnography Museum of Ankara. Discovered and kept secret in the year 2000, the book contains the Gospel of Barnabas – a disciple of Christ – which shows that Jesus was not crucified, nor was he the son of God, but a Prophet. The book also calls Apostle Paul “The Impostor”. The book also claims that Jesus ascended to heaven alive, and that Judas Iscariot was crucified in his place.

A report by The National Turk says that the Bible was seized from a gang of smugglers in a Mediterranean-area operation. The report states the gang was charged with smuggling antiquities, illegal excavations, and the possession of explosives. The books itself is valued as high as 40 Million Turkish Liras (approx. 28 mil. Dollars). Man, where is the Thieves Guild, when you need them?

Ok, pigeons, here comes the cat...

Something that old there's no telling who wrote it. In recent years they have found a number of things like that of Jesus' brother James, his sarcophagus was supposedly found.

What, the James Ossuary?

Yeah - not so much.

What's that? A contradictory account of god's word?

Whoever has heard of such a thing before?!

Seriously, this isn't gonna change anything, any more than all the other contradictions, in all the other books have.

We found documents in 1945 stating clearly that date as early as 2 C.E. that state things like Jesus was married, that still aren't taken seriously.

They're studied by the Vatican, and religious scholars worldwide as historic texts, yet have had little or no effect on doctrine.

What do you expect? There's no profit in upsetting the apple cart.

I dunno. But knowing about the historic Gnostics, Illuminati and Rosicrucians (I was absolutely fascinated in college, and lucky to have a professor M.A.'d in the history of religion and philosophy) it's almost as irritating to hear the batshit crazy modern conspiracy theories as it is to be accused of believing in them by people who have absolutely no idea the historic Gnostics were a very real sect with equally tenable contributions to doctrine.

Then again, most people know "virgin birth" was a mistranslation, and that hasn't changed their beliefs at all.

I have learned that you cannot argue with a christian.

Anyone who can throw the word "MAGIC" around cannot be reasoned with. Like muttering to a brick wall, it will get you no where

Now how do I subtly get this bit of information to Christian family members without me sending them the link. Need to shake things up a bit.
