How many of you who call yourself followers of God, have read the Nag Hammdi?

I'm asking this question to see the range of free thinking/free spirits within the Christian communities or any sect of mankind's religions, as the Nag Hammadi are scriptures which were discovered in the 60s, buried in a cave at the Nag Hammadi dig site along the Nile river in Egypt.

Now it's been translated into English and has been on the market for quite a while. The truth within it is awesome if one is truly seeking truth beyond the teachings of men.

The spirit of the Father is once again back on earth and is ready to teach those who are of pure heart and mind, who's not afraid to seek outside the box of men's religions, whether it be Christianity or any religion of this world. Who's spiritual freedom is truly free and not offended by truths not taught by men, but through the Father many don't know, who is pure truth. I'm not talking Jesus either.

    The majority of real scholars know that Jesus never existed. There are many reasons for this. For one as in the fact there was no Nazareth until much later after the supposed birth of myth Jesus.

    The following are websites for you to explore as to why most scholars know the Jesus character as a myth.

    The following are some not so nice things the myth jesus is quoted as saying...

    The burning of unbelievers was based on the words of the myth Jesus: "If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned." (John 15:6)

    Matthew 10:34. "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.

    Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

    Matthew 18:9

    And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

    When one of his disciples requested time off for his father's funeral, Jesus rebuked him: "Let the dead bury their dead." (Matthew 8:22)

    Jesus said that whoever calls a brother a "fool" shall be in danger of hell fire (Matthew 5:22), Yet he called people "fools" himself

    (Matthew 23:17) - "You fools and blind men! Which is more important, the gold or the temple that sanctified the gold?"

    This last statement is nonsense a building (Temple) cannot sanctify anything neither can gold. Only people can.

    (Psalm 14:1) - "The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds; There is no one who does good"

    There is no one who does good? The people who read the bible and become godless/atheist or agnostic or non religious because of what is in it and proclaiming it to be true which is quite disturbing to those who do not believe in all its negative and unrealistic so called mythological miracles that mimic many other mythologies as in Osiris, Mithras, Dionysus, Bacchus a God who turned water in to wine and many others ect…..

    Bloody Mary (Queen of Scotts who had 30,000 protestants burned at the stake), the inquisitions that tortured and murdered thousands upon thousands in Europe and the Americas, The Malleus Maleficarum[2(meaning "Hammer of the Witches" in Latin which stated that witchcraft was to blame for bad weather. These remarks are included in Part 2, Chapter XV, which is entitled: "How they Raise and Stir up Hailstorms and Tempests, and Cause Lightning to Blast both Men and Beasts" for which thousands of mostly women and girls were burned alive which was sanctioned by Pope Innocent.

    The most stringent controls on speech in the colonial period were controls that outlawed or otherwise censored speech that was considered blasphemous in a religious sense. A 1646 Massachusetts law, for example, punished persons who denied the immortality of the soul. In 1612, a Virginia governor declared the death penalty for a person that denied the Trinity under Virginia's Laws Divine, Moral and Martial, which also outlawed blasphemy, speaking badly of ministers and royalty, and "disgraceful word.

    With the complaint of not having a bill of rights Thomas Jefferson coaxed James Madison who did not think it necessary to write them. Thomas Jefferson as well as several of the other founders believed strongly in the separation of religion and government. Thomas Jefferson who was from Virginia witnessed the Tierney of churches within his own state. This is why he is quoted as saying “And the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. But may we hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away with this artificial scaffolding, and restore to us the primitive and genuine doctrines of this most venerated reformer of human errors.” —Thomas Jefferson, Letter to John Adams, April 11, 1823

    They suppose they're the "selected" fans of God. They have the actual approach of salvation. Yet their wish is all works situated. They deny the equal deity of Jesus Christ as Jehovah. In their variant of the Bible, John a million:a million pronounces that Jesus is a god and no longer THE God. They are going to name an ex JW the enemy of God in view that he has fallen clear of the "religion". They don't become aware of they have got religion of their works similar to the misplaced. "I wish that I'm well sufficient to make it into Heaven." I John five tells us, "in order that we KNOW..." Read it for your self. What does Ephesians two:eight-nine say to us approximately our works? If they suppose because the misplaced suppose. "I have not murdered someone, so I'm going to Heaven..." Sin is sin. God does not care if you have not murdered in movement. You are in command of each and every suggestion, phrase, and deed. If the JW calls you an enemy of God.. Consider it a well factor. For their authority is in themselves. For even as we have been nonetheless enemies of God, He adored us in that He died at the move as a sacrifice for our sins that we could spend eternity with Him.

    I have read parts of it, and the dead Sea Scrolls, plus there are 5366 other manuscripts available, as well as the Book of Enoch, and other non-cannoned stuff.
