Has anyone ever heard of "Q" being a missing part of the Bible, specifically the lost Gospel of Q?
Many people don't realize that the Bible we read today is not the original version. For example, the "King James version" was actually edited by King James, hence the name. Many things were taken out because King James didn't want his people reading or hearing them.
I came across the Paul Wallis channel on YouTube the other day and watched the 5-part series of "Jesus in India," which covered the years of Jesus' life that are missing from the Bible. Part 2 of the series is titled "Jesus in India, Pt 2, Thomas, Q & Jesus before Christianity." You can find it on YouTube or paulwallis.com.
Just wondering if anyone else has heard of this.
For your information, the NET bible translates Col 2:6 as:
And the footnotes explained the rationale of such a translation.
Now what do you think are the "empty, deceitful philosophies"? What do you think are the "elemental spirits of the world"?
Got Questions describes it as the "hawking basic worldly ideas about religion and trying to pass them off as truth... whether it be rituals, asceticism, or observance of rules".
There more I read, the more I think that Paul was actually warning against the Christians of today.
The discovery of the beliefs of the disciples who walked and talked personally with Jesus, and the subsequent developments of Christian doctrines over the centuries, have prompted me to leave the orthodox tenets of belief.
Good for you.
You do you.
