Hi. I'm the author. Do you think you could put that on Amazon? I could use a few more reviews, especially well-considered ones.

Certainly it cannot and will not mark the and of the bible which has overcome many persecution and régimes.

No, it wasn't. But it wouldn't break my heart if it did. My intention is to see that NEW evidence -- the gnostic period evidence, as early as any -- is understood for what it is: the source material for the Judas Betrayal of Christ narrative. You do what you want after that.Laila_Hashem wrote: ↑14 Jul 2019, 18:58 There are many sources that disprove points in all religious texts if you choose to look at them at a certain angle. Many choose not to inquire about these 'unholy' sources because they do not want to test their faith and others do not look into these things because they simply believe their faith is above all else. So, no. I do not believe it will end Christianity, but I could not tell whether that was the author's aim.

However, there is hope in any novel to change the mind of a few, or open their Linda to different possibilities. Believers don't necessarily have to agree with the points found here; but if they allow the questions to enter their minds, they may be led to more questions that will either steady their faith or make them doubtful.

The purpose of the book isn't to end Christianity. It is to point out new information that we all need to hear.Areej Tahir wrote: ↑16 Jul 2019, 08:57 Lol no, there's a million more such controversial books but nothing has been able to put an end to christianity. It's about faith more than its about logic.

I was one of those Christians, and I changed my mind as I became aware of all the information bearing on the Bible. - the Authorkristib44 wrote: ↑15 Jul 2019, 12:07 I've never found that a single book, save a few religious texts, could drastically change the minds of strict followers of a religion. Most religions indoctrinate young and it's very hard to de-wire the programming, for lack of a better word, that results from years of indoctrination. As much research as was done, it seems unlikely that an unpopular view (and it certainly would be among hardcore Christians) would change the minds of steadfast believers.

This question is a distraction. The point of the book is that important NEW information has become available to us. It was misrepresented by scholars and I corrected that.

I welcome all reviews, as long as they are sincere and not frivolous. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/15246 ... 5K32J6D6Y1Areej Tahir wrote: ↑16 Jul 2019, 11:33yes I understand that, I am talking in the reference to the forum questionSahansdal wrote: ↑16 Jul 2019, 11:29The purpose of the book isn't to end Christianity.

Scientology and the Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints survive and prosper despite being based on obvious frauds. Many books, movies, TV Programs, etc. have exposed their ridiculous origin stories.
Christianity is based on miraculous claims from 2000 years ago that while highly improbable to non-believers are much harder to refute at this point. While it has largely died in Northern and Western Europe it remains strong as ever in the USA, South America, etc.
