… that the gospels, Mathew, Mark Luke and John are the writings of one Man, his name being Jesus, and were scripted at different stages in his lifetime; in his middle age and later, and are recollections recounted again and again of a personal, mystical event, which happened on him earlier in his Life? The cross is a symbol of his invention, as are his Immaculate Conception and eventual resurrection. In short the mentioned writings and also the book known as the revelation of St John, are in fact his, Jesus’ account of himself; even to the coup de grace – the revelation - a fantastic writing, brimful of that scornfulness with which mid-lifers denounce youthful ignorance, teeming with the threatening language of the ageing warrior. Contrast this with the view currently held, that the books comprising of the Gospels are independently authored and are written long after Jesus’ reported crucifixion. Such is our knowledge either view could be accurate, though I hasten to add the great weight of academic study has been spent on proving that Mathew and Mark and Luke and John, and the John of Revelation, existed independently of one the other and did indeed author the tracts attributed to them.

But it is worth asking ... which academic was ever absolutely correct; history is so pitted with barbarism and political vandalism and religious persecutions, evidences for anything and everything are pretty well open to numerous re-interpretations. The Life and times of Jesus Christ being as steeeped in historical uncertainty as any other person and/or period. For example explanations regarding the actions of Adolf Hitler are numerously evidenced and yet even now, not six decades after his demise, his motivations are not completely agreed upon.

One thing about the Gospels of which we can be certain is their mystical dynamism. No one reading of them is unmoved by their resort to divine assertion and hollowed instruction; nor is the reader of them disappointed in Faith. There in those rich writings, events conspire to instruct even the lowliest person the purpose of their self. Yet they have failed to raise to perfection Men who have and do live by them; or have they?

Certainly if we use the abandonment of Christianity, such as is happening in the West today, as a pointer, then they have failed. It seems that no one is bothered that the destruction of the world will come about despite the promised deliverance of the Christ; whom according to the gospels is to make a second coming, and whom anyway depends on a coterie of believers in order to return, our salvation the core to [Christly] business here.

The gospels, like scripture out of every faith, are written in the language of inspiration, which itself is given to Man directly from the mind of Creation. All scripture are inspired words of God. But there lies the difficulty, which causes the great Grief on Earth; and it is born from out of the deadliest misunderstanding. Because of a quarrel of mind, a disturbed notion, Men failed to realise that God, being everything, is everything they prey against also. In the rush to condemn what was interpreted as evil, humanity shot them self in the proverbial foot. Similarly the acceptance of scripts by writers authoring from out of spirit influence (negative Creation), as writings accounting for goodness caused major fluctuations to occur in both comprehension and resultant religious practice. Down the centuries there have been extreme, diverse examples of what I write of; Christians thrown to the Lions, inquisitions, witch hunts, holocausts, suicide bombings; these atrocities and more are direct results of the dogmatic misinterpretation; usually the impositions of extreme religious or political factions, and often a combination of the two.
