ive read one. and the writtings on it are so mind boggling..is it really true that christ was married to magdalene? and is it banned by roman catholic priests before because it contradicts their self-made teachings and interest?

That is my belief.

In 323, or 325, depending on the source, Holy Roman Emperor Constantine held the Nicean conference. At the time, there was many factions of Christianity all fighting with each other over who's version is correct. Constantine decided to hold the conference with delegates from many factions in attendance where it voted upon as to what goes into the bible and what doesn't.
The Gnostic gospels didn't make it, for whatever reasons.
Even the gospels in the bible contradict each other.

What Gnostic Gospels have you read?

dont know if its true it was publish by 21st author i think its elaine pagels. the book has the opinion of the authors and some writtings based on the so called gnostic gospels found by a certain ali. it says there that those banned gospels were saved by the monks and hide those scripts in a jar which were found near cairo. it says in it that jesus christ was merely human it was the counsel of constantine that made him immortal, made mary a virgin mary and they also made the apostles creed.

One of the things voted on at the Nicean Conference was Jesus' divinity. My opinion is, if it had to be voted on, how true could it be. Personally, I don't need Jesus to be divine, he makes more sense to me as a regular human. More extraordinary, in fact.

I read the Nag Hammadi, which were found near Cairo in a jar, probably the same ones the book you read is based upon. Some of the text is missing, crumbled away but it still made a most interesting read. The Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of Mary were very interesting and enlightening to me. They had a real feel to them. No built up stories.

I've studied many religions, and I find Jesus' teachings quite Buddhist in nature.
I don't subscibe to any religion and consider myself an atheist. I don't believe in divine beings, but I do believe in Jesus' teachings, Jesus the man that is. Strip away all the self-serving religious stuff, and get to the heart of what Jesus taught and it's a very good code for living.

we have the same opinion regarding jesus. i really dont care if his divine or not. what he have done was great enough. either it was done by merely human or not. im a born catholic, have no choice anyway. i respect catholism but they cant force me to believe about everyting they preach. what i profoundly believe is that their is a supreme being. and we will not be judge by what our religion but by the way we live our life here on earth. have a nice day.

First of all forget the Roman Catholic Church, though they did pervert a lot of biblical teaching they are not responsible for deciding which books to include in the Bible. In fact this was decided a long time before the then Bishop of Rome, in a fit of peek, split from the Orthodox Church and declared himself Pope, founding the Roman Church in the 11th Century.

The is nothing sinister in the exclusion of the, so called, gnostic Gospels, nor is there a conspiracy to hide the truth. Rather examination of these documents by scholars found good reasons, historical or textural not to include them. Despite what you may hear elsewhere, many of these other gospels are written later than those included. The canonical gospels, Matthew, Mark and Luke, support and confirm each other.

Generally Mark is held to be the oldest Gospel at around 70AD

all the best urban
