Gospel according to James?
Anyone have any information about this lost gospel? I watched a TV special on it a long time ago and was reminded of it yesterday - but I can't really remember if it was ever proven as "credible" or not.

<a href="http://www.earlychristianwritings.com" target="_blank">http://www.earlychristianwritings.com</a> is often a good place to start. It has <a href="http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/infancyjames.html" target="_blank">this page</a> on the Gospel of James.

Criticalthinker;Jesus never lost communion with God,neither did God lose communion with Jesus since they are one and the same.Jesus is God. God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself.The world lost communion with God,but God has never lost anything.God is the Creator of all things, and by him all things exist and for you to say he lost something doesn't even make sense.He possesses all,and is all,so he cannot lose something that he himself is and has.He cannot lose himself.You can lose an arm or a foot or a leg by a disease, or a hundred dollars at the casinos,because you are capable of loss.You can even get lost in the woods.He is not capable of loss since he does not seperate from himself for he fills all, and is omnipresent and self existent.You have a great error in your thinking concerning God.The Bible contains his mind,the way he thinks. He invites you to read and learn of him by coming to him. If you don't want to,then you cannot learn of him,because you cannot learn unless you listen to the Teacher.

I read the story of the Tower of Babylon. A tale by which mankind's reason threatened God, and so he divided our languages to confuse us.
As poor as my spelling and gramer may be, the above post is almost evidence of that fairytale. <img src="graemlins/notworthy.gif" border="0" alt="[Not Worthy]" /> Jon "tongue in cheek" Up North |

If the Bible contains Gods mind and the way he thinks, I reckon we’ve got a whole load of proof that God gets lost right there on paper. He gets just a wee bit lost chronologically every now and then, his numbers skills could do with a bit of work and all those contradictions show just a few little lapses of concentration. Does omnipotent God’s mind wander? Does he lose his way? Can’t learn unless you listen to the Teacher? Now how did that old maxim go? Ah yes – those that can do, those that can’t teach….. |

Glad I don't think like this.....or someone who could worship this. Dt 22:22 If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman. |
