Early Christian Library Before 400 CE

And in this struggle to legitimize Jesus we lost and completely lost Historical Bethelhamian village long-haired Jew Jesus. Then our newly converted Paul never went to see Mother Mary or Josef of Arimathea generate doubt about the claim of the early Christian church. 

We can not confirm that all the books mentioned in the below list are produced before the 400 CE and they were never modified. In the same way, the present Christian library as collected and translated in the form of King James Bible could not have produced before 400 CE in its original form.  Here we are talking about the books collected under the heading of New TestamentNew Testament Ἡ Καινὴ Διαθήκη (He Kaine Diatheke). The phrase 'New Testament' never appeared in the Gospels or Acts, or Epistles. The phrase was put on the Book cover after 400 CE.  Hebrew brit (בְּרִית) in Jeremiah (Jewish Bible) states that Elohim would reconsider the case of Israel. It is not Covenant (Will of a dead man). As a living god, Elohim always agrees with his living community. There is no question of rejecting and accepting a new agreement like a trading company. The relationship of Elohim with Israel is permanent. Israel is his eternal Son (Torah) or Novam Testamentam. It was wide possible that the books selected in King James Bible in original form were as per the suitability of the providence of  Roman emperor Constantine and even after accepting a particular book as canonical, the same was modified in its Greek Text. Passion narratives had been modified as per the suitability of the dominant ChurchChurch A creedal political organization of Christian People (Ecclesia) created by Constantine with a reading manual (Bible), Bishop as prince and CEO, and deacons as servants in a given jurisdiction within Roman provinces. A church prayer house is also called a church (building). Christian groups are divided into Roman Catholics, Orthodox, and countless reformed denominations. A church is maintained by donations and taxation from its members.. Despite challenges, proto-Markan Q narrative was there with every possibility. The possibility was evident that church was not ready to accept a resurrected visiting JesusJesus Ἰησοῦ Χριστῷ: Doubts and controversies are always with him. Whether he existed at all or not?  Whether Paul was correct or Muhammad about Jesus? If Paul was a student of Gamaliel then why he had heard nothing about Jesus from him? Why Aramaic culture of Jesus was not preserved? Why there were no dates in apostolic letters? But writing Date in letters was a standard practice then. What was the original language of the epistles? Possibly Constantine would have known these. He died due to asphyxiation. and there was a hurry to send back Jesus to heaven as early as possible. Second coming was incorporated to sustain the faithful and faithFaith  πίστει. was equated with the patient waiting for Jesus.

Those who accepted Jesus from the Roman slaves, Jesus was a new god in place of Julius Ceaser. For Jews converts, Jesus was promised messiah and not a god in charge of blessed Jehova. For Egyptians, a resurrected Jesus was very possible in place of resurrected divine Pharaoh. Unemployed and economically struggled Athenians imposed ‘ Logos-Creative Command ‘ metaphysics on Jesus and converted. And in this struggle to legitimize Jesus we lost and completely lost Historical Bethelhamian village long-haired JewJew “Being Jewish” is very important and not forgetting the Holocaust is religion over Halakha. Israeli Jews are divided into Haredi (Orthodox), Dati (reformed), Masorti (Conservative/traditional) or Hiloni (secular), nonetheless, their ethnoreligious identity was possibly originated in ancient Egypt and modified in Babylone. In their Synagogue, they read the Torah and pray for the coming of the Messiah, who would build global 'Israel', through which the Divine and Human would meet forever. Jesus. Then our newly converted Paul never went to see Mother Mary or Josef of Arimathea generate doubt about the claimA Claim A claim is “factually unsustainable” where it could be said with confidence before trial that the factual basis for the claim is entirely without substance, which can be the case if it were clear beyond question that the facts pleaded are contradicted by all the documents or other material on which it is based. of the early Christian church.

Apostles, were not Prophets, they were simply village idiots of Juda and Summaria, without the capacity of reading or writing. The capacity given directly by Jesus in the gospel to them can be compared with the capacity given to them in 'Acts' were quite different. Idiots suddenly become Pandits.

Ammonius of AlexandriaChristianity Christianity was formed in Alexandria. Whether the theology, organisation, or reading materials, everything formed in Alexandria in or around 80 CE and then exported everywhere by traders. The term Christion was not used before the first quarter of the 2nd Century. Christianity is the outcome of three Jewish-Roman wars, namely, 'The Great Revolt' (66-70 CE), the  'Kitos War'( 115-117 CE), and 'Bar Kochba Revolt' of 132-135 CE. After the Bar Kochba revolt, Christianity became a distinct sect from Judaism. In 30 BCE Greek became the language of Alexandria. NT was written in this language and the passion of the Christ was first performed here. The legacy of Clement (159-215 CE) and Origen ((185-254 CE) was to be noted.

Discourse on the Eighth and Ninth
DuraEuropos GospelGospel A conscious evangelical fixation for inner consumption, legalised by Constantine after acceptance of several Egyptian myths. Why there are four Gospels instead of one, seems to validate the fixation by saying that four independent communities produced the same. Paul was Constantine's shadow, and Peter was his inner consciousness, who did not know Jesus during the trial period.  Facts on Jesus were so few that the bookbinder had a problem 'call it a book' compared to Homar, or any Latin book available for reading in or around 325 CE.

Excerpts of Theodotus
Exegesis on the SoulSoul Abraham, having wept a short time over his wife’s body, soon rose up from the corpse; thinking, as it should seem, that to mourn any longer would be inconsistent with that wisdom by which he had been taught that he was not to look upon death as the extinction of the soul, but rather as a separation and disjunction of it from the body, returning back to the region from whence it came; and it came, from God. (Philo) न जायते म्रियते वा कदाचिन्-नायं भूत्वा भविता वा न भूयः-अजो नित्यः शाश्वतोयं पुराणो-न हन्यते हन्यमाने शरीरे (Gita 2.20 )

Sophia of Jesus ChristChrist Lamentations 4:20 > The breath of our nostrils, the Christ (Mašíaḥ) of Yahweh, was captured in their pits, of whom we had said, “Under his shadow, we shall live among the nations.” Greek Septuagint (OT), χριστός derived from χρίω (anointed one). Whether Jesus was Christ? NT declared in affirmative. Jews never accepted Jesus as a chosen leader. His violent death was interpreted as a curse by Yahweh. For Hindus, Christian claims are absurd. Performing Dharma leads to liberation. For Muslims, Jesus never died on the Cross. He who confesses that Jesus is Christ is Christian. Confessing Muhammad is the Last Prophet (Rasul) earned the name of Mohammedan. .
