This is not about ‘cool’ or ‘Alternative Christianity’

"Your "bible" does not have the history and background of the Christian Bible.  The Bible was written over a 1600 year span, over 60 generations, plus it was written by over 40 people from all walks of life.  It was written on three continents from places ranging from forest to jail.  It was written in times of war and peace during different moods of joy to despair and in different languages (Hebrew and Greek).  It included hundreds of controversial subjects.  It has more manuscript evidence than any ten pieces of classical literature combined to show it’s survival through time.  Finally, the Bible has withstood vicious attacks of its enemies as no other book.  Many have tried to burn it, ban it and outlaw it from the days of the Roman Empire to present-day Communist dominated countries but they have not succeeded…

We know that this letter may seem offensive to you in some ways. After all, it threatens your beliefs and confrontation is not considered ‘cool’ in today’s world. This is not about ‘cool’ or ‘Alternative Christianity’, this is about the truth. We can testify that Jesus saves and changes lives. There is nothing mystical or magical about it."

    The Annointed Kings of Kings has had his name missused and his way of living distorted many times since the begining of his carnal ministry. Respectfully,those who consider themseves Gnostic and those who deem themselves to be true Christians have both fallen into the same trap spiritually speaking. Both groups presume, in my viewing, that the man called Jesus of nazareth imparted special wisdom and/or secret knowledege to initiate his will on earth in his physical absence. He says in the writings left by those who walked with him before his crucifiction that He is “the way ,the truth and the life.” and again that we must enter the kingdom as “little children”. Moreover he proclaims that he chose” the foolishness of this world to confouned the wise”.
    The truth in the Knowledge and wisdom of my Great KIng is this. Every word that he spoke to his disciples and was recorded in the gospels encompases the total scope of the human condition. There is simply nothing in life,spiritual or carnel,no situation or curcumstanse one can be comfronted with or endure, that Christ didnt cover by a simple understanding of what he taught.
    I would like to pearsonally dare anyone who may read this bold statement to test this concept,only what Christ teaches is pertainent. All other statements are hollow,both in the canon of the holy bible and without. The test is this, for fourty days read only the words in red in the books of Matthew and John, and then take note of how your perspective begins to change.

    About the same if I read only what Batman says in his comics for 40 days…
